Of course not, Arc. The expected return is based on the pay table. Anything else you are doing simply guesses at what Rob might do and what might happen as Rob plays.

I am 1000% positive that Rob will NEVER claim he has a better ER than what the paytable says the ER is. I am 1000% positive that Rob only looks at one thing: how much cash he has when he leaves.

Ironically this same sort of argument is going on over at the Wizard's forum over the game of craps. There is one member who says he can have better results with dice influencing, while another member says the "dice influencer" can't alter the odds of the game. And in fact, the DI cannot alter the odds of the game. The odds of the game are based on the combinations of two six-sided dice. But that doesn't mean the DI can't produce more winning combinations.

What you seem to be missing is that sometimes the math does not apply to the result. DI does not change the odds in craps. And Rob's method does not change the ER in video poker.
