MJ: CVCX Question

[MJ]

What formula does CVCX use to calculate Certainty Equivalent?

Also, is it reasonable to subtract -.25% from the given EV to take into account player errors and then recalculate SC0RE? Nobody can play BJ perfectly, and we all make some mistakes at the tables. How do I adjust my hourly earnings to reflect these inevitable errors?

CE=unitsize*(winrate/A1-((SD/A2)^2)/(2*(bankroll/unitsize))

The 2 multiple may be an artifact of the way I keep track of wins. A1 and A2 are normally 1. They get complicated if you are backcounting or playing multiple hands.

CVData can take into account specified error rates for both dealer and player. CVCX doesn't have these options. Frankly, I don't have a reasonable number. It's an interesting question.
