how is png wasteful? Is there a better lossless format that works in most browsers?
You know, an easier way to convert it without downloading anything is to just upload a bmp to imageshack, and it will automatically convert it to png.

Maybe that'll help if you're still having trouble with this.The banker's algorithm takes the average winning value at any given point in the game (which is the sum of the unexposed cases), multiplied by a sliding scale factor. That sliding factor severely pushes below the average winning position at any given state early in the game, then approaches the true average when the contestant is down to four or fewer cases.
In some rough comparisons against a quick PC model I built, it appears that the bankers algorithm is computed as a percentage of the average winning value in this approximate sequence:
11%, 15%, 22%, 37%, 70%, 90%, 100%
If you plot those numbers on an Excel graph, you'll find they make a rather clear tilted S shape, so even if the numbers aren't precise, I'm confident they're close enough to demonstrate that it is a predetermined formula. The extensive profile contestants fill out probably contributes to a tweaked version of that graph that includes an estimate of a given contestant's risk aversion.
