How to find the N0 for a game

[JohnCrover]

Hello, there's a side bet I'm interested in playing. I know the average edge for the game, the variance of the game, the frequency at which I will make my bet and the count I will be using.
The EV for the game is pretty damn good and it has a high edge but I'm worried that the N0 is so high that it won't be worth my while if I need to get paid in this lifetime which brings me to my question: How do I figure out the n0 for a game?

N0 = var/e.v.^2

Don, have you played around with any of the side bets?

No.

N0 pun intended?

Anyway, the ones that are edge-able add a big jackpot component that has turned me into a fiend for certain sucker bets!
