Re: [vpFREE] Long Term

Grab the volatility index or standard deviation for whatever you're talking
about (the Wizard of Odds has it for a few of the games), and apply the
basic Confidence Interval formula to find the the range after n games. It's
a simple formula so you can guess or check to get a 1% CI interval, or you
can solve for n. Alternatively, I believe XLS has =confidence( but no
matter what, you're going to need a VI of standard deviation first.
