LET ME CLEAR SOMETHING UP

The chance of winning versus losing is 50%. There are 3 choices, yes, but one ends up in a redo no matter how many times you get that one, making it moot. Basically, you can just discard the tie when you think about the ratio of winning to losing, therefore making it 1:1 or a 50% chance of winning. Also, you have a 50% chance of losing. Now when you look at the percentage of winning OR keeping what you have and getting another chance against losing it all, you get 66%, as you include the tie as not losing it all.

It's alllll about perspective.

Your argument is flawed, in the sence that their is a 66% chance that you will be able to continue, and a 33% chance you wont be able to continue.

You cant just say their are only 1 way of winning there fore its only a 50% chance.

Its like this say, their are 10 lottery tickets, 8 tickets let you play again, 1 is a lose 1 is a win.

You can jsut say, its a 50/50 shot!, b/c its not, same thing in this situation. ALthough to a smaller degree.

Screw Kawi.
No matter how many times you lose or fail to meet the expected statistics, we keep playing the damn thing...

Gambling is addictive, esp when you can make enough money to throw away again in a giant or two. -_-


Screw you guys too. I can't even get past amps >.<
I don't even know what comes next o_O

Third Round: 18 wins 28 losses
Fourth round: 13 wins 5 losses
Fifth round: 6 wins 7 losses

I still didnt lose a lot of money, but still, my luck is either cursed or this is rigged. I was wondering if anybody else kept track of their stats for the game? Post them
Ive actually played more, but didn't keep up with the stats until the second day of the event lol
Statistically speaking the results look normal. There's only a 1/32 chance of getting to the 5th round.

Read what I said carefully. ;P I said the chance of you not losing it all is 66%, not the chance of winning and going onto the next round is 66%. You always have a 50% chance of winning or losing, when you discard the tie(as it's useless). But when you factor in the tie as a chance of not losing the whole game, you get 3 options. One makes you lose everything, one lets you onto the next round, and one has no effect, neither letting you win nor lose, therefore giving you 2 options that benefit you.

Okey, this is stupid maths going on.

It's a 1/2 chance to win since a tie won't count as a lost, therefore you don't count the tie in it.

If you're calculating the chance of coming scissors/rock/paper, then it's 1/3 each.

I finally won the azria tickets and decided to stop, although the gambling addict side of me was very enticed by the Dragon pet. Maybe next time.
