You really have to check out the wizards analysis. Yeah, the average bonus
times multiplier , be it forward or back is 4.01 but...
a. dealt super bonus on dealt royal if multiplier ( this is rare, and adds
little to the total payback ).
b. forward multiplier
c. backward ( on draw ) multiplier
d. additive multiplier ( its possible to get 10X on draw + 10X on deal = 20
X for a hand ).
thus wizard is absolutely correct in stating you get a .5 ( on average )
better EV for the seven coin bet over just 5 coins.
