Hi gang, I felt it was useful to know how likely it is to convert at least one current streak in UX bonus streak (UXBS) to a streak of all 12X's to aid in the decision of Wonging in on one or more existing UXBS multipliers. So I made the table shown below. Based on the results, it looks as though Wonging in should be done (as per conventional wisdom) if the sum of the next deal-draw's multipliers divided by 2 is larger than or equal to the number of hands being played as the probabilities of conversion are not that high. However one useful piece of information gleaned from the table is that if you have 5 (or more) current streaks, converting at least one of them to all 12X's has a chance of about .45 (a little higher for Bonus Deuces Wild) - meaning that even if some of the 5 streaks have just 2X's in them for the next deal-draw, when playing 10-handed it might still be a play since you have a good chance of converting at least one of these streaks to all 12X's.
Example 1 using TDB (~99% paytable):
If there are 3 hands with streaks (playing 3 hand,5 hand or 10 hand UXBS), the probability of converting at least one of them to all 12X's (regardless of streak type) is a little less than 1/3 (.31).
Example 2 using BDW (~98% paytable):
If there are 7 hands with streaks playing 10 handed, the probability of converting at least two of them to all 12X's (regardless of streak type) is .21. This is important to know since the sum of the next deal-draw's multipliers divided by 2 should exceed 10x when playing 10-handed.
