Reason for playing multi-draw games?

I never realized the variance made that much of a difference. Read the Bizarro post if you have time. I’ve been mostly a single line player all my life and avoided multi because of the inferior pay tables. I’ve been a net loser every one of the last 40 plus years. With a bit of luck based on recent results, that may change.

at higher demons most folks can't afford the money and/or time. Variance and covariance make lower denom multiline games make sense. Variance makes as big of difference as RTP when you don't have enough deals and hands to weather the storm of not hitting Royals very often.

I understand variance and don't know the variance of multi-line at the pay tables available to me. FP JOB is around 19 I believe.
But at what point the worse pay-tables for multi more than off-set the variance advantage is still not clear to me.
If someone finds 9/6 JOB on multi I fully understand the deal.
Where I live that option does not exist.

wizard of odds has an article on his website that quauntifies the covariance between one deal and multiple hands of common vp games.
