Default OT ROI Probability

I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed, probably has, but is there a way to calculate the probability you will have X ROI over Y games if your true ROI is Z? X most likely being a range rather than a specific number.

Standard deviation is cake. It's gaussian distribution that is a bit trickier to work out. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

True, too bad you don't need Gaussians for this calculation though. If you want to talk about hard probabilities, we can just jump into Bivariate distributions...

Jesus, which class did I miss in the late '70s early '80s? Sometimes I think I'm just too dumb for this game.

Look around for the ROI simulator, there should be a post about it in the top few pages of STT.
