His bot seems to be doing reasonably well. It's wagered wagered 501.34 BTC, but got 8.1453 BTC in bonuses. His average cash out is around 1.28x, so that puts him pretty firmly in +EV territory.
Thanks for that confirmation, Ryan. I was starting to wonder if my EV calculation was wrong.
You calculate it in real-time?
The bet amount has the EV stored in the last 3 digits. For example, right now the bet amount is 17,117. The "1" in the hundreds spot means the EV is positive. The last two digits, "17" means that it's currently running a minimum EV of .17%/bet. According to the stats Ryan provided, EV is actually much higher around .40%. 8.1453 / 501.34 = 1.6247% - 1% (0x bust every 101 games) - .218% (house edge at 128) = .407%/bet
Every once in a while, I start and stop the bot. So that EV stored in the bet amount is for that session. Previous stats are stored at the NXT forum here: https://nxtforum.org/index.php?topic=13275.msg229488#msg229488
Thanks for the question.
