How much EV am I missing out on when using a standard strategy vulturing on UltimateX? I know this is a positive EV play but I’d like to use some kind of strategy for consistency.

Some details:
5-coin (I know chasing additional multipliers would require different strategy and doesn’t include UltimateX Bonus Streak)
3, 5 & 10-play games
Using strategy for base game paytable
I think the avg multiplier is about 2.9x - 3.0x for 3 & 5-play; 10-play seems to be a bit lower
12x for individual lines occurs about 1 in 20 opportunities
Will play with any +EV (i.e. any multiplier)
Players card adds 0.1% - 0.2% depending on property
Example paytables:
- DDB: 9/5, 8/5 & 7/5
- TDB: 9/5 & 8/5
- BP: 7/5 & 6/5
- JoB: 7/5 & 6/5
- DW: 16/13 & 10/8/4/4

Thanks in advance for any replies.

This question seemed to have been answered by the “Gambling with an Edge” episode on 5/4/23 by the Wizard and Mr. Dancer. Based on that info, vulturing on regular UltimateX using the base game strategy for 5-coin is the way to go!

Also, the Wizard noted he released some updated vulturing guidelines for UltimateX Bonus Streak!!! I’ve updated my strategy to work with these thresholds. This along with the Ultimate X Poker Analysis by Gary Koehler really helps illustrate the right strategy to vulture both UltX and UltX-BS.

Awesome work Michael and Bob!

Thanks so much!
