true, but don't make the mistake of thinking that you get similar
value on multiline. the cycle on 10play is about 10000 rounds (0.4%),
the cycle on 100play is about 1500 rounds (0.27%). on 100play you
really get hurt by the fact that many of your SFs come clumped
together, like when you have a SF4 and hit 3 or 4.

and at $2, it's $1000 for 8x the coinin...

i've done that, but unfortunately there aren't as many opportunities
to do it profitably on the new cards. you'll usually be stuck on a SF,
and there just aren't many profitable strategy deviations for a juiced
SF as for a juiced RF.
