Potential Loss Statistics

Post by OTABILL »

Not sure if the following has come up before. At the end of a round you are told how much you would have won at a casino if appropriate but never how much you could have lost. It would be nice and useful.

It's not very hard to figure out. Determine breakeven, based on the number of credits per hand, and hands in the session, and subtract your session total.

I agree would like to see the 'loss' as well.

I would like to see the loss too. I would also like to see how many deals were played incorrectly.

Agree its just math but why do it for one and not the other? I'd rather spend my time playing and not calculating.

Well, then don't complain when the site response time slows even more, since computer cycles will be used to calculate losses on every game for every player every time.

For me, I would rather just have site performance get better.

I'm not complaining. Just asked a question and made a suggestion. Quite honestly, I could live without the money won as well. Maybe useful but not essential.
