OK oddsmakers and math nuts--which is the better EBJ game? (i.e. highest EV): Door #1 1 round, 7 players. Buy-in $109. 1st pays $490, 2nd $210, rest 0. Door#2 2 rounds, 12 players. Buy-in $109. 1st pays $480, 2nd $360, 3rd $240, 4th $120, rest 0. (This may look familiar to some!)
For an average player, they are identical. For a skilled player, more rounds is better than fewer rounds.
I may be wrong,but I'm guessing backgammon would be a good analogy.....the higher the number of points the match is played to,the greater the chance of the better player winning.
