No wonder I can't make money at VP, they're paying me in single coins rather than in full bets!! You are of course right; I've made this mistake (to myself, this was the first time in public) before, and apparently haven't got it hammered out of my head yet.
I'm pretty sure this also "reduces" his gain on the RF that he didn't get from $500K to $100K, which makes sense.
At least what he threw away against what he could have gained remains in the same ratio (I'm grasping for a rope here!).
Scary part (for me) is that I was REALLY great at math in H.S. -- but I guess I haven't exercised that muscle enough in the (significant) interim.

(I think I figured that correctly).Looks like you're using the new newer math :>). I think that you were
assuming a 6 for 1 payoff, or 30 coins for a flush, and multiplied that
times his full load max bet of $1,250. Each hand payoff in video poker,
whether single or multi line, is determined by multiplying the hand payout
times the denomination coin of the game, not the max bet load figure. In
this instance of a $25 denomination, a thirty coin win is $750 and if the
game was ten play, what he tossed was $7,500 not $37,500.
