CVData runs a pre-sim which creates data that is used to calculate the percentage of your Kelly bank that should be bet at each TC as well as the volatility. This info is used during the index generation along with the EVs for each TC for each decision to determine the RA index. I'm afraid the process is rather complex.

REKO-F in "Modern Blackjack" are NOT all with RA. Wrong copy/paste.
A least Soft DD in one sheet.

Max bet can be off a bit without a problem. +4 is fine. Leave ratio at 1.0. I need to find a way to explain this better in the documentation. Basically, you increase the number if your bankroll is so large that you are betting below the risk that you are aiming for because you are playing a game that doesn't allow you to bet as much as your bankroll and desired risk allow. Increasing the ratio decreases the risk-aversion.

A ratio of 1.0 is RA. An index of infinity is EV-Maximizing. Ratios between them would be varying compromises between them. A ratio below 1.0 wouldn't be EV-maximizing or RA.

If you have a very large bankroll, you could tune the RA accordingly by increasing the ratio. However, there are very few indices where this will make a difference -- unless your bankroll is huge, in which case there is no reason to use RA indices.

Norm,
Phillipe B. posted this somewhere:
CVData without RA Indexes
Soft Double Down - A7 vs. 2: DD >= 1
Soft Double Down - A6 vs. 2: DD >= 2
With RA Indexes (Max bet @6)
Soft Double Down - A7 vs. 2: DD >= 1
Soft Double Down - A6 vs. 2: DD >= 9
With RA Indexes (Max bet @3)
Soft Double Down - A7 vs. 2: No Double Down
Soft Double Down - A6 vs. 2: No Double Down
Why "No double Down" when Max bet @3? There must be an index as there's an index for non RA and for Max bet @6.
