How does Pick'Em have a 15Var if it's hard to hit the Royal?

From thw database:
Pick 'em - FP = 2-3-5-11-15-18-120-239.8-1200 (99.95% - 15.0 VAR).

Jacks or Better - FP = 1-2-3-4-6-9-25-50-800 (99.54% - 19.5 VAR).

How does Pick'em have a lower var than JoB if it's easier to hit the
Royal in JoB?

THX

In 9/6 jb the Royal contributes %1.98 of the total return. In Pick-Em the Royal only accounts for %0.34 . The straight flushes and the quads are close.
So there you have it, less dependence on the Royal gives a lower Variance.

A.P.
