    Of course, and that's why it is complicated and it is NOT correct to take the present value of the future income. Note that I said:
    "that [suming up the present value of cash inflows and using it as a bankroll] would be the correct calculation assuming that you can *borrow* for this interest rate."

    Definitely not! In my post I just tried to analyze both cases. In this thread we have repeatedly stated the qualitative properties for the complicated case when the player cannot borrow cash, and thus is running a risk of temporary tapping out and losing time -- the opportunity cost.

    Yes, it would be interesting to get some quantitative results applied for blackjack :-)

    Not to be redundant, but I hope that is the path the discussion stays on.

    BJA4? Nah, you've done that. Maybe you should write a new book; I bet you have one in you!

    You're not the first one to make the same suggestion. I'll consider it seriously.
