A Question About Variance and ITM

[LinusKS]

Aleo, thanks for your response.

I read the following paragraph

[ QUOTE ]
Practically speaking, however, as your ITM rises, so also will your SD. The reason players would probably never see a lessening of their SD as results improved is that it is probably not possible over a significant sample to improve results that much. Many consider 50% ITM to be an upper bound and to really see the lessening of variance again you would probably have to be doing way better than that.

to mean that variance - or the standard deviation - is highest around 50% ITM. If that's wrong, let me know.

I avoided math in college. I'm finally getting punished for it.
