Good post Ortom .

You may use the formula that I gave earlier about calculating your ror depending on your s.d and win rate .


r0r= e^(-2uB/sigma^2)

ror= risk of ruin or the probability you go broke
u= hourly rate which is $/h over time
B=bankroll
sigma=standard deviation

This is a better formula to use because it tells you your ror for various win rates and s.d's .This formula has been posted extensively in the probability forum which is very neat .
