Expected Loss Per Purchase

Expected loss is the number I wish more people used when budgeting buys, and it is easy to compute: buy price multiplied by one minus the feature RTP. On a 100x buy at 96.5 percent that works out to 3.5 bets lost per purchase, which sounds small until you multiply it by fifty buys a session. The calculator on https://thebonusbuyslots.com does this per game and per tier so you can see the hourly cost of your habit. Seeing it written down changed how many buys I do.
