question about standard deviation

[Tommy Angelo]

I have a question about standard deviation. If one guy plays smart-loose for ten years and ends up even, and another guys plays tight-tight for ten years and ends up way up, which of them has the lower standard deviation? The guy who ended up exactly where he started after ten years, but took a highly deviant road to get there? Or the guy who steadily deviated to the plus, year after year?

Thanks,

Tommy
