No, not quite. You wrote, "If I play three shoes"; you didn't add "per hour." It doesn't take 20 minutes to play one shoe. You didn't read page 18, did you?

Good day everyone,
I just would like to understand if there is any point to play more than 2 spots? I have just found a Casino with great rules that allows me to play the whole table if I want,...
PowerSim does not even calculate TC correctly and cannot calculate optimal bets correctly. It also uses a useless linear congruential generator for random numbers. I don't know what simplified REFO-F...
PowerSim is accurate and gets the job done for free. It calculates EV, SCORE, and optimal ramp for different strategies. A simplified REKO-F strategy file is attached, along with a hi-lo lite...
