Default Re: Turbos vs. regular SNGs (variance)

[ QUOTE ]
Turbos will have less variance only because there are 9 players instead of 10. In SNGs, your variance will always be near the same, regardless of your ROI because it depends on your place percentages and 13%/13%/13%/61% yeilds a variance similar to the one that 10%/10%/10%/70% gives.

Somebody around here learn some math for christsakes.

The square root of the sigma-squared is your variance. That's why your variance only increases as the square root of the number of games you play, while your profit increases linearly (ideally).

Wow, what a pompous post!

Ok, if we "learn math" will you work on your reading comprehension? Just practice, its easy and fun!

OP was asking about turbos vs. standard SNGs on stars...both have 9 players.
