Thanks for the link; it's a great article. I see that Bob gives EVs for
the various pay-schedules, but how does the "Free Ride" factor in? Are
the EVs listed accounting for Free Rides? If so, how does he know how
often they occur?

Working from memory here, but I think the Free Rides occur just often enough
to bring the chances of moving up to the next level (with optimum play) up to
exactly 50%. This would, of course, vary by game.

If I remember this wrong, someone please correct me!
