I'm just wondering what the odds are that a long term 15% ROI player could lose 11 buy-ins over a 300 SNG stretch.

Using the ROI simulator, I ran 10,000 simulations of 300 games each for a 15% ROI player. The largest drop out of the 10,000 was 57 buyins. 20% of the 10,000 had a drop larger than 11 buyins.

It's the fine work of "rvg72" of course...

I host a couple sites for my kids sports/school. I had one not in use and had visions of creating a blog of some sorts...just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Results:

For a 15% ROI player, there's a 96.2% chance that you will be breakeven or better over 300 SNGs.

As for my question, there's about a 1.2% chance of that drop occurring over 300 SNGs.

I think you should be calculating the chance that a 15% player has a -10 buyin 300 sng run within 1800 sngs.

No, I shouldn't. That would tell me my % chance of having a 10 buyin drop, which would obviously be higher than my chances of being down 10 buyins over any 300 SNG stretch. I wanted to know the chances of myself having a 10 buyin drop over 300 SNGs, and now I know the answer. Thanks bluefeet!

The chances of having a 10 buyin drop over 300 is pretty close to 100%, if not 100%.

You didn't understand me. I was suggesting you calculate the odds that a 15% player will have a -10 buyin drop over 300 sngs, within his 1800-1900 sng sample. You might be 1% or 5% to experience -10 buyins over 300 sngs, but you have played 1800-1900 and not 300, which makes this much more likely.

Exactly.

Flip a coin 6 times. Chance you get six straight tails is 1/64.

Flip a coin 100 times and the chance you stop somewhere along the line and post "Hey! I just got 6 tails in a row!" much much higher.

Here is a link to a post where I put some tables that answer your question if you are a 10% ROI or 20% ROI. I didn't do the 15% case though.

Search for the ROI simulator. It will run simulations that will tell you this.
