A 3BB/100 win rate with a SD of EIGHTY BIG BETS PER 100 HANDS ?To answer your question . . .
There is no realistic chance that a 3BB/100 winner could ever go through 2,500 big bets even with an SD this large.

False. ROR = exp(-2*3*2500/80^2) =~ 9.6%.

Your ROR with this WR and SD would be negligible with a stake of ONE thousand dollars

False. ROR = exp(-2*3*500/80^2) = 62.6%.
[ QUOTE ]
and bear in mind mutiplying your stake by 5 does not reduce your ROR by 80%; it reduces it by upwards of 99%.
[/ QUOTE ]
It raises it to the 5th power to (62.6%)^5 = 9.6%, which is a reduction of about 85% from 62.6%.

If this is merely an academic question I'll let someone else explain the formula for calculating ROR.
