Backing out of ROR

#1

Try Dunbar's Risk Analyser. It's well worth the $25-$30 it costs. It also allows to customize games and find the ROR based on bankroll and number of hands played.

All the risk-of-ruin tables and equations I can find assume "playing
forever". Without (re)starting a debate about short-term play, is
there a way I can find risk-of-ruin for a fixed bankroll over a
varying amount of play? For instance, JoB at 99.54% has a LONG-TERM
RoR of "1" in that eventually the bankroll will be depleted, but the
RoR for a SINGLE HAND at $5 for a $500 bankroll is clearly "0". Is
there an equation that takes bankroll, # of plays and RoR all into
account? I'm sure that there is and I'm missing something fairly easy
to figure out.

Joel, many thanks to you and Harry for the kind words. One
correction I'm glad to make: The cost of Dunbar's Risk Analyzer for
Video Poker is just $20.

Dunbar's Risk Analyzer for Video Poker is available from shopLVA.com
and from Gamblers Book Shop.

FWIW, the VPW software also lets you compute short term ROR for some 3-5-10 multi-line
games as well as spinpoker.

I have both the Dunbar and the Dancer software, and find them both worth the "cost of
admission".
