    Are calculators not working?

    I was trying to use the calculators as I decide how much Trip Bankroll I would need to take given that I will be playing 15 hours with max bet of $200 (some DD games with $25 min and some 6 deck games with $10 minimum). I thought one of the Bankroll calculators would give me an idea but they dont seem to be working.

    Just tried bankroll calculator. Seems to work fine. What's the problem you're seeing?

    Zee, I think $7,000 would be enough, but $8,000 would be better.

    Here is sim showing a 60% pen on a 2 deck game with 1 to 8 optimal spread. Your risk of ruin for 15 hours of play is 2.7% with an expected win of $806. If $8,000 trip bankroll trip ruin is 1.22%. Also with a $40,000 bankroll your total risk of ruin is only 0.5%.

    Thanks. Took $7.5k, down $1.1k after 6 hours of play. This being my first play of 2019, did not bet optimally, too nervous about heat. However, still have 10-12 hours of play left.
