General assumptions...sorry if you gave excact specifics, I didn't go back and re-read the thread.

6 deck shoe, 5 decks dealt(very generous penetration).
$25 unit spread 25 - 300 (1-12 spread)
using Hi/Lo with the Illustrious 18 indices

Winrate/100 hands = $36.75. If you only get 60 per hour thats $22.05.

SD/100 = $841

30K BR gives you a ROR of 4.46%
10K BR = 35.45%
BR less than that, flirting with disaster.

If he spreads higher than $300, ofcourse that increases expectation, but also increases ROR.

And this all assumes play all(no wonging) and perfect play.
