Bankroll & Game Selection
4 articles

Jake Torres writes the arithmetic side of this site: how expected loss follows from turnover and the house edge, why no staking pattern moves that figure, and which published numbers actually differ between games. The subject rewards precision, because almost every claim in it can be checked against something a studio or a regulator has published — and almost none of it can be checked by playing. Where a figure is not published, his pages say so instead of estimating it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Jake Torres write about?

Bankroll arithmetic, game selection and bonus terms: the expected cost of turnover, why betting systems change the variance rather than the expectation, and which figures a game publishes about itself.

Does he test the games he writes about?

No, and the pages do not claim it. A few hundred spins measures volatility rather than return, so sampled play cannot verify a published figure. The sources are the studio’s own information panel and documented house edges.

Are the guides suitable for beginners?

Yes. Each one starts from the published figure and shows the arithmetic step by step, which is also what makes it checkable rather than something to take on trust.
