but even if it's as high as 0.25%, doubled to 0.5%, then even with a
$1,000,000 bankroll that Bob claims to have, the Risk of Ruin would
be over 23%. But then Bob likes to "take a shot."
I'm not sure why Dan is allowed to make personal attacks on this forum.
Back when he was falsely denying he wrote that you should cut back to 1
coin in FPDW when things are going bad, his emails were filled with
personal attacks. He's at it again. I suggest he should either have his
posting rights revoked or have it explained to us why he isn't subject
to the same rules as others.
Why would he assume my bankroll was $1 million? He has no reason to
believe it is anywhere near that small. I did enter the parameters of
the game into the Dunbar Risk Analyzer (which Ira kindly sent me and I
recommend to others as a useful tool) and it gave a bankroll estimate of
$1.7 million for the game. Not a problem, although I'm not sure how far
down I could go before Shirley became Lorena Bobbitt!
Why would he say I like to "take a shot"? In my autobiography I
described fairly rigid rules for when I feel it's correct to take a pot
shot, and a 0.3% advantage doesn't come close to meeting those criteria.
Finally, a two-day a month promotion (which is approximately how
frequently Coast properties offer double points) is not subject to the
same bankroll parameters as a game you play every day. It is unlikely
these games will still be around in two years. Players who have
realistic goals of earning in excess of $100,000 per year have to get
while the getting is good.
