Bob, thank you for the plug. I tried Cindy Liu's calculation on FPDW. For a 5,000 unit bankroll it gives the RoR as 4.0%, and for a 10,000 unit bankroll it shows 0.0%. The correct values are 3.86% and 0.15%, respectively, so although Cindy's rounded numbers are certainly close enough for most players, they are not even accurate to the two significant figures shown. The Sorokin calculation in OpVP is done directly from the 15-digit probability values derived by the game analyzer.
