LVA Question of Day:
<<<<< "Q: On the May 25, 2006 "Be in Action Radio Show" Jean Scott
talks about losing $40,000 playing video poker but after
including bounce-back cash of $80,000 had a $40,000 gain for
the year. What is bounce-back cash, how is it calculated,
and how is it distributed? >>>>>

<<< Hi VPFREE NewEngland Guys and Gals,
You can only read the answer to above on Sunday unless you subscribe
to LVA but its an interesting paragraph.
The Queen (probably including Spouse action lost $40K at the
machines, I figure she played at a .2% disadvantage on average. That
would be 20 MILLON DOLLARS of action. Playing $25 average/hand x 600
hands/hour = $15K/hour x 10 hours/day (total for two players)=
$150K/day action.
Thats about 140 days/year. Quite doable for them at $5 level.
But to get the $80K in cashback/bounceback she would need .4% of $20
MILLION DOLLARS in Action.
.4% cashback/bounceback may be doable with double points promotions.
If its .2% it would be $40 MILLION DOLLARS in action but she would
only breakeven playing at a .2 disadvantage because she would lose
$80K at the machine "over the long run."
Questions
1) Is it possible for a $150K/day action gambler to get .4% CB/BB?
2) Do you think there are "secret plays" so she can play on average
at less than a .2% disadvantage and/or greater than .4% CB/BB?
3) What do you think the bankroll would be to be confident of ,say,
only a 10% Risk of Ruin? >>>
