What denomination? If it's $1 and single line then...
275 CI return 200 is ~18.2%
350 CI return 225 is ~4.8%
275 CI return 195 is ~15.4%
350 CI return 210 is ~2.4%
If you take those all as one big group then 1250 CI with a return of 850 is ~0.12%.
This assumes perfect strategy, though. 99% accurate isn't that great. If the 1% of the time you're making errors that cost a few cents, I suppose that's OK, but if the 1% you miss includes something like missing a hold of a high pair or a three of a kind, there are some big issues.

No problem, and I was in a rush this morning when I wrote it, but to clarify: those numbers represent the percentage likelihood that you will end up with that result or worse, so x% of the time you will end up with that result or a lower one. The methodology for figuring this out was doing 500k trials on a program I wrote.
