You guys are funny. How is this not EXACTLY linear?


[/ QUOTE ]

You cant just put % on one of the axes. Linear means that for each 1 unit increase in one axis, there is a fixed amount of increase or decrease on the other axis. (As an aside, this comparison should probably be win rate vs risk of ruin instead of win rate vs required bankroll). For this example, for the relationship to be linear the additional amount of bankroll required for a decrease in win rate from 2.0 to 1.5, for example, should be the equal to the additional amount of bankroll required for a decrease in win rate from 1.5 to 1.0. That isn't the case here.
