Math – Money in the Bank

[Overtim3dParticipant]

In the write up for Money in the Bank it says there should be $100 banked for ever $.80 bet at the 1 cent denom. Does that still hold true for higher denoms? For example, $2 denom, 8 credits. Does that mean it needs to be 2k before you would consider playing it?

Admittedly, I do not have much of a sample playing Money in the Bank on any other denom than 1 cent, and even that isn’t the most robust sample compared to plenty of other games.

You’ll often get a better RTP on bigger denoms in general, so dropping the requirements on the $2 denom isn’t unreasonable. But I couldn’t confidently say how much you could drop the figure on something like that, especially since Money in the Bank is a volatile, low-edge game at any number to begin with.

To follow up, that is what I’d look for on such a bet ($2k+ in that example).

Yes, some folks will play this game looser than I’m recommending. One such guy I know plays with $80 banked for every 80 cents rather than $100. Could I be leaving a little meat on the bone? Perhaps.

In general, I tend to be on the conservative side with these swingy type of games. If you wanted to show action somewhere and found something in that $80 banked per 80 cents range on a higher denom, I could think of worse plays out there.
