evROI for Spin and Go
Spin and Go is a high variance format of poker and focus on prizes line can be frustrated if you doing everything right and your bankroll going sideways or down.
Usefull way how to check if you are just unlucky is anything what can indicate your expected value.
Compare actual ROI is not sufficient way, because of lottery style of this format. Once you hit one of the top three multiplier, your ROI become distorted. And the variance has impact on actual ROI.
On the other hand, indicator like evChips/Tournament, Net Chips Expectation Won, are not affected by variance. They just reflect your ´´skills´´.
So, what Iam more interesting of is evChips/T, evROI and evCurrency Net Won stats. It simply show me, if my expectation is possitve and how big the actual variance is if compare actual ROI and profit.
Losing about 30 or more buy-ins at this format is nothing unusual even with 10% ROI.
I downloaded the code for evROI Spin and Go. The formula is evChips/T + 500 / 1500 * 1-rake * 3….
I will not finish this formula till the end, because is WRONG!
Do not really understand what is the final result/number represent, but definitely not evROI for spin and go..
The correct formula for evROI Spin and Go is here:
2 * (buyin – rake) / 1500 * evChips/T * 100 / buyin
This formula is proven and is simply logic. Return of investment is calculated by count all buy ins we paid compare to net profit we gained. Example 1000usd invest (100 x 10usd buy in) and 100usd profit is 10% return on investment.
If we play 100usd spin, our investment is 100usd, our potencial return is our opponents buyins minus rake, its 190 (100 – 5%fee *2(opponents) = 190. Lets say we go all in with our 750chips left against villain with same stack. We have quads against Air, our Net Chips Expectation Won is 1500. If our potencial profit can be only 190usd, one chip has value of 190 / 1500 = 0,126usd.
We have one tournament done and our evChips/T is 1500. As we won prize pool our actual ROI is 190% and the evROI must be same. Lets back to my formula 2* (100 – 5) = 190 / 1500 * 1500 *100 / 100 is 190% evROI. It look very simply if use 100usd buyin, but its important follow the code.
Lets use the WRONG formula above presented on the internet on a few poker websites and which you can downloaded here as well.
1500 + 500 / 1500 = 1,333 * 1-0,05% rake = 1,26 * 3 = 3,8 – 1 * 100 = 280 ? is not correct.
Here is the correct evROI PT4 code:
((2 * amt_buyin) / (1500)) * (amt_expected_won / cnt_tourneys) * (100) / (amt_buyin + amt_fee)
Enough to coppy and paste. Just open Configure – Statistics and click on New – Definition and paste to value expression. Format type – percentage.
And here is evCurrency Net Won PT4 code:
(cnt_tourneys) * (amt_buyin + amt_fee) / (100) * ((2 * amt_buyin) / (1500)) * (amt_expected_won / cnt_tourneys) * (100) / (amt_buyin + amt_fee)
