Beware of StatKing!

Grst post homer!

But I have a few questions..

I use pokercharts to track my play and now i wonder which number I'm going to use for the Standard Devation

Is it:
1. Return Standard Devation (Standard devation from the mean return over the specifed dates)
or is it:
Win Rate Standard Devation (Standard devation from the mean win rate over the specifed dates)

I don't understand what the diffrence between them are?

Can someone post the formula in Excel for the Risk of Ruin {r = exp(-2uB/sigma^2)} as well?

Thanks!

Copy and paste Homer's cells B1-B4 to C1-C4. Type a number in for the bankroll in C1, instead of the equation that is there now. Then click in C4 and enter:

=exp(-2*C3*C1/C2^2)

C4 is the risk of ruin, and now you can vary the other 3 numbers.
