Default Doesn\'t need to be said BUT....

either way both sites give you a good estimate. OP's site isn't off by THAT much...but it never hurts to be more precise.

i used the OP's sweedish link and it told me that given my sd and current wr that id need a 361bb bankroll w/ a 99% confidence interval. it was off by 8bbs. bruce's site gives the same inputs a 369bb bankroll.

what i thought was interesting was that all this talk of a 1000bb bankroll being excessive is wrong.if i wanted a .001% chance of going broke, id need a 923bb bankroll. so a 1000bb bankroll would virtually assure me of never going broke.

so id say that for bigger games you should want a 1000bb bankroll if you plan to live off those games.

also, my stdev. is pretty low so if you are a riskier player than i you want a larger roll.
