So, if I'm extracting from this article correctly, N0 (that's the
number 0) for vp is:

the number of hands of a positive expectation game (cb can be
included) that must be played so that the total expected profit is
equal to one standard deviation.

In other words, at N0, your EV +/- 1 s.d. will lie entirely in a
positive range.

At 4NO, you're covered to 2 s.d.; at 9NO, you're covered to 3 s.d.

you are correct
the tool on the page is based on 100 hands since that's about an hour
of bj play
for fpdw+.25%cb at 100 hands:
expected value=.010119624x100=1.0119624 bet
standard deviation=sqrt(variance x100)=sqrt(2583.461818)=50.82776621
bets

N0 applies to any gamble (even stocks) for which you know or can
estimate er and variance
