True enough, Harry.   With 0.25% cb, a $25,000 bankroll would only crash 1.9% of the time, vs 6.1% without the cashback.  (I'm still assuming a 0.1% error cost.)

Picture is a little rosier w/ a 0.25% cb add that I suspect was applicable back then ...

That's a surprisingly good conservative estimate of bankroll requirement, considering it was 25 years ago.  The mathematical solution wasn't published until about 5 years later.

If you play perfectly, a $40K bankroll will allow you to play $1 single-line FPDW forever with just a 0.54% chance of going broke.  If you are human, and say make errors costing you about 0.1% of your bets, then the chance of going broke on a $40K bankroll rises to 1.1%.   For comparison, someone attempting that with a $25K bankroll (and making errors costing 1.1% of his/her bets) would have a risk of ruin of 6.1%.

My wife and I played about 22K hands of single line FPDW without any quad 2's but 2 RF's for a net win of 500 bets.  Can you say "roller coaster"?

G'luck all,
