Default Re: Help! What\'s wrong with this math?

I don't think it's that simple. Maybe BJ might be that simple but only if your EV is constant for each play. Take a slot machine or VP. Two VP games might be -0.5% but one takes, takes, takes then has a big payout, while the other VP game might take a little, give a little without any big swings. You need to calculate SD from actual numbers for poker but you should be able to calculate a theoretical SD for as you keep your bets constant. I wish I knew how to do that ;-) Oh, I know how to keep my bets constant it's the math I forget.
