Monday Night Football Video Poker special: Win an iPad 2!

[Carseller4]

Video poker is the best game out there. This is much better then the blackjack promo

Better for SBR.

If Video Poker is better how come it is being run throughout the entire game?

The BlackJack Promo ended when the first team scored.

Still bitter about this.

[Fishhead]

The payout chart indicates a 5coin, $5 royal pays 20,000. Lou said 100,000. Conclusion: who knows?

Ok, it pays 20,000 right now in the casino..................so I'm assumming 20,000 for the promo.

If this is correct, and I assume it is...................the best way to attack this promo is to only play ONE COIN on the $5 jacks or better machine.


Here are the payouts with the 8775 pt IPAD2 promo in place...........




1. MAXIMUM COIN..........100.5%

2. ONE COIN...................102.33%





TERRIFFIC PROMO HERE BY SBR................................JUST MAKE CERTAIN YOU ARE ONE OF THE FIRST TWO TO HIT A ROYAL, AS THAT IS WHEN THE PROMO WILL END.

I ASSUME LOU/SBR will be keeping us updated every 10 minutes or so throughout the game to let us know when and if the two royals have been hit.

If one can get 3000 hands in during the game(easily attainable), the odds of hitting the ROYAL are approximently ONE IN THIRTEEN

[SBR_John]

We will do our best to update the players. Hopefully the winners will post as soon as they hit. I can not guarantee how quickly we can update you guys. This is the first time running this special so factor that in by all means.

[sharpcat]

2. Players who hit a Royal Flush must stop playing immediately after being dealt the winning hand. Players who continue to play one additional hand after hitting the Royal Flush will be disqualified.

Why would it matter if the player plays a hand after hitting the royal????

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Anti-bot thing.

What's the expected loss over 40,000 hands normally?

[SBR Lou]

Small correction guys. I'm a dunce and miscalculated the 5 coin payout.

Betting 1-4 coins (5-20 points) will pay an iPad 2 only on a Royal Flush.

Betting all 5 coins (25 points) will pay an iPad 2 plus 4000 coins (20,000 SBR points).

[benjy]

What's the expected loss over 40,000 hands normally?

Well, using a slightly sub-optimal play of say 99% (instead of 99.54%) and one coin (5pts):

5pts * 40K * 1% = 2,000pts

Not really true because you'd miss out on the Royal payout itself. This needs to be accounted for too. Assuming that the Wiz of Odds used the 800/1 payout is his calcs, you'd hit one over this same sample and hence miss out on 4K more points.

So roughly, it'd cost 6K points (2K in losses and 4K in opportunity cost) over 40K hands.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

What's the expected loss over 40,000 hands normally?

40k hands at 5 a pop, -920 pts mean, 1sd -5340 to +3500, 2sd -9760 to 7920.

That's excluding the ipad.

Thanks guys

I don't know perfect basic strategy in poker like I do in blackjack. Accounting for that, I'm going to sit this one out.

Good luck to everyone who plays!

thanks:d

[Fishhead]

One is basically risking 300-400 pts to win the IPAD if they choose to play just one coin..................


GREAT DEAL

[benjy]

Show your work Fish. I'd take my back of the envelope calculation or HeeHawww over your unsupported statement.

The game returns 97.94 playing one coin..................not counting the IPAD2 for a ROYAL FLUSH.

In a 3 hours window, one can roughly play 3000 hands playing 5 pts a time(one coin).............meaning one would put 15,000 pts at risk...................which equates to losing a tad over 300 pts in the longterm playing 3 hours(not counting the ROYAL FLUSH/IPAD2)

Obviously one can lose more or less(or actually come out ahead).................but on paper longterm one would lose a tad over 300 pts if they played 3,000 hands one coin at a time.

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Is it really 97.94%?

If so, yeah, 3000 hands at 5/hand is -309 mean.
1sd -1509 to +901
2sd -2730 to 2112

What % did you calculate your other numbers with?

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Urrrm, don't remember exactly, 99dotsomething? Those were over 40k hands though, cos that's what was asked for. Fishy's were over 3k.

Two hours ago it was............but SBR has now changed the payout on the FULL HOUSE from 9 down to 8.........

The new payout is now 96.799%

[benjy]

Thanks Fish.

Did you remove the Royal Flush payout to get 97.94?

So using your #'s over 40K hands one would lose 40/3*300ish or 4K points.

[Fishhead]

If one puts 15,000 coin in with the above return, it's pretty easy to figure what their losses on paper would be over the longterm..................they would lose 3.2 for every 100.......32 for every 1000.......480 for every 15,000.


STILL a nice overlay..........

[roundcake]

ooo i may try, i need an ipad

STILL a nice overlay..........

Three pts to consider on top of this though...............

1. Is the game on the complete up and up........this is not Nevada based.

2. One must play perfect strategy for the above results

3. One has to take into consideration that only two IPADS will be awarded.


GOOD DAY,

[HeeeHAWWWW]

The new payout is now 96.799%

Ouch!

3k hands at 5 each....
Mean -480
1SD -1674 to +714
2SD -2868 to 1908


Have to go in with a decent bankroll too, with 500pts 78% chance of losing it all, with 1000 54%, 2000 17%, 3000% 3%.

I'd guess most trying would have less than 1000, thus a very high chance of losing the whole lot.

[jjgold]

Fishhead just showed in this thread why he is a professional video poker player
Unreal..he knows every fukkin stat and percentage

[rotcod]

give it a shot...

[Spanks]

lou...i need a ipad...

[Gio21]

Pro's only?

[SBR Lou]

Pro's only?

Everyone can play

[Carseller4]

Fine-print
1. If there are no winners, we will re-run the same promo next Monday night.

We all know how this is going to turn out.

Anything to delay the return of a BlackJack Promo.

[BigDaddy]

i am locked and loaded with 500 points

fishhead how much of a chance do i have with 500 points betting 5 points a hand?

i do not like seeing the fullhouse reduced to 8-1

why was that done?


thanks

[BigDaddy]

*A Royal Flush on 1-4 coins (5-20 points) will pay an iPad 2.


anyone playing 10,15 or 20 points a hand is crazy.

you either play 5 or 25

[azn624]

Are we suppose to put coin value at 5 and bet 1?

[secretstash]

Azn the game will be changed for the promo. It will be set to 5pts. And 1-5 coins allowed.
