Do you have actual results for the game? Just curious how far below this value it is.

Do you mean for the credit tracking version?  I'm sure it's well below the expected return based on early-adopter strategies that are likely being used.  I'll run the numbers and see.

I wonder how many of the beta testers have visited this thread to be informed on the correct way to play and how many are just going after it.

That's a good question. Too bad you can't track that as well.

I just figured out my return based on the numbers in Dashboard. I have some woodshedding to do. Current return is 93.42. Better than the 92 number, but far from great. Oh I know, my flash player is in a cold cycle.

I've only seen the official numbers for DDB. Let me work on my bird call and see what else flies by.

I'm just under 97% at the moment w/o a RF.
 
CORRECTION: I should be at 98.8% if I take into account the two dealt QQs that were lost.
 
I'm a bit surprised I was off on the payback by .5%. I used basically the same program I used for DDB and I get the correct payback for it. I must be missing something really basic.

Remember, the first couple of days we all were babes in the woods as far as QQ goes - until SM set us straight.   In my case that's when I did most of my losing.  So the initial unfamiliarity has something to do with it.
 
I'm currently at 100.21% in my QQ play.  I've been dealt 3 QQ's and 1 natural quad, no bonus ones dealt, no RF.  If we were talking about standard 5-play that's ahead of the curve on dealt quads but I haven't a clue for dealt QQ's.

I come up with 1400 unique QQs. If this is correct then you should see one every 1856 deals. The number for regular quads is 4165 I believe.
