Triple Play Quarters Vs Single Line Dollars

<<Are you sure about that number?

My memory, very foggy in the early morning, tells me that for a 1-in-n event
in n trials, for n large enough, the probabilities are approximately 36% of
0 occurences, 36% of 1 occurence, 18% of 2 occurences, 6% of 3 occurences,
1.5% of 4 occurences, 0.3% of 5 occurences, etc..., i.e. approximately 63%
of at least on occurence.>>

Whoops! Teach me to post so late at night. You are right, of course. 37% is
the chance of getting ZERO royals in a cycle so 63% is the chance of getting
at least one.

I was playing a 50 Play VP at GC right after NY on double point day and in a couple hours play I got 5 RF. At one time when it dealt me
  4 to a Royal (we call it a "Polish royal" per my hubby's Polish heritage. . . ) I got 3 of them! I'm severely under Royaled in my playing career but wish I would get more of them when I play for quarters and not pennies! BUT I did 3X my money in this session, so I'm not complaining!

My personal recent experience with 10-play gaveme more than a royal a day, but that was lucky, not typical.......That means that there's roughly a 2/3 chance of seeing at least aroyal in any such day. JBQ<<<<<<<<<<

"... problem to deal with is the fact that your overall results are directly correlated to how good or bad the dealt hands are - so in the short term, multi-line games are very volatile...... glorious peaks and horrendous valleys of a multi-line roller coaster ride are not for the faint of heart!"
Brad and I have had many years of experience in playing multi-line..... I know the math will all come out right in the long term. But I often joke now and say that considering my age, I don't
think I have enough time left to get to the long term in 10-play!!!! :)<<<<<<<<<

  Dear Jean and Brad--Since we expect you to be around until you're at least 100 and be actively playing VP and passing on that knowledge. . . I don't think you have to worry about the LONG term!!! But I see your point. . . .Thanks for all you do and sharing your knowledge and to continue to "teach" all of us. . . .your teaching skills are still going to great use! Here's to a happy, healthy and productive 2006! Royals to ALL!
