Message: [QUOTE="XXPXXP, post: 2098235, member: 91283"] yes, it can. the high variance because that your game has less edge. for example: [supposed there is an example, suppose, I mean] if a coin flip , you have 55% of chance to win in long term. then you have 1/2*0.55-1/2*0.45=0.05 edge per game, in order to win 1 buyin, you need to play 20 games. _____________ but if same coin flip, you have 70% chance to win then the edge u have 1/2*70%-1/2*30=20% so you have 20% edge, here in order to win 1 buy in, you JUST need to play average 5 games. ___________ when u have an edge of 20% , your variance is 4 times less than the situation ur edge is 5%. the key point, I think, to lower variance is increasing ur edge - or increasing ur winning rate! hope this works for u, GL, LOL [/QUOTE]
