Default What's my RoR?

Hey everyone, so I've been grinding it out at the black tables for the past few months and I've just hit the 210 hours. I initially started with a 10k bankroll and I'm at 28k as of now. In that time, I've made $15,700. I've been using the zen count in 8 deck shoes, AC rules, 85% penetration with wonging in and out using a 1-10 spread. If anybody can sim me my RoR, it would be greatly appreciated.



Bankroll = $25,000.00
Advantage per TC/ Fully Kelly/ 64% Kelly/ Actual
TC 0 --> -0.04% -$11.00 -$7.04 $25.00
TC 1 --> -0.01% -$2.50 -$1.60 $25.00
TC 2 --> 0.30% $75.00 $48.00 $50.00
TC 3 --> 0.61% $152.50 $97.60 $100.00
TC 4 --> 0.93% $232.50 $148.80 $150.00
TC 5 --> 1.22% $305.00 $195.20 $200.00
TC 6 --> 1.58% $395.00 $252.80 $250.00

tc 2 = $50
tc 3 = $100
tc 4 = $150
tc 5 = $300
tc 6 = $600

sounds like you are having a great run! and 85% pen! wow!

can i ask you: did you start with $25 units? or did you use $10 units when you had a $10k BR?

With a 1120-unit bankroll your RoR is less than 1%. Between your nice bankroll and your Wonging you are playing nice and safe. It also helps that you've been pretty lucky so far. With your original $10k bankroll your RoR was probably around 15%. The fact that you've been winning about double your EV so far has given your bankroll the boost it needed to stay alive. You're in good shape now.

started off with $5-$100 spread and worked my way up. I've always made sure I had 100 max bets though in my bankroll.

attached is the betting schedule I've used so far

Thanks sonny, I was thinking it should be around 1% but less than 1% is great news.

just FYI, in your spreadsheet, i see you are sizing you bets based purely on %advantage at each TC. you need to divide by variance as well.

and what made you choose 64% kelly as opposed to 60% or 66.66% or 70%? just curious on that one.

Well to factor in variance, that's why i chose to go 64% kelly and not full kelly. The reason I chose 64% is because I get close to 100 max bets.
