New Results, and Spread Discussion
RA21,
As the output below shows, the EV's changed slightly, but the index remained the same despite the change in the bet schedule: split if +5 or less, hit if +6 or more.
Earlier in the thread you asked if a 1:15 spread was reasonable for DD. You implied that a 1:4 spread was "safer". For purposes of illustration, I fired up CVCX and simmed a DD, H17, DAS game with 60% pen for a lone AOII counter playing all in quarters to a $13K BR. I wanted to show you the cost of playing with a limited spread.
Spreading 1:4, his RoR was 13.4% and his WR was $29.69
Spreading 1:5, his RoR was 12.3% and his WR was $38.84
Spreading 1:6, his RoR was 12.5% and his WR was $47.71
Spreading 1:7, his RoR was 13.1% and his WR was $56.13
Spreading 1:8, his RoR was 14.3% and his WR was $65.00
Higher spreads gave higher WR's and RoR's.
Notice, though, that a 1:7 spread outperforms the 1:4 spread: the WR is higher (of course), but the RoR is lower. This result seems paradoxical to many newer players: they feel instinctively that higher spreads give both higher WR's (correct) and higher RoR's (not always true).
Keep this in mind when you're deciding on you spread.
Hope this helps!
