    Couldn't have worded it any better Slykllist!


    If you wanna know how to beat RR's I have a sound strategy that I am only willing to share to a selected few.

    thanks splashies, but...


    no, 1 in 8

    four in a row of either winning or losing is 1 in 8.

    half chance that this game is the same as before, times three = four in a row

    Four in a row either winning or losing is 6.25% or 1 in 16. 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5

    Chance of losing 1 - 1 in 2
    Chance of losing 2 in a row is 1 in 2 of 1 in 2 = 1 in 4
    Chance of losing 3 in a row is 1 in 2 of 1 in 4 = 1 in 8
    Chance of losing 4 in a row is 1 in 2 of 1 in 8 = 1 in 16.

    1 in 16 is correct if you set out to either (a) win four in a row or (b) lose four in a row

    1 in 8 is correct if you want to see four in a row

    (as the first event is superfluous.)

    simplify things to illustrate this...


    what are the chances that you will see two in a row?

    whatever the first event is, the chances of it repeating is a coin flip, i.e. 1 in 2

    My opinion is it is far better to play poker russian roulette.  

    However - if you want to make sure you do not go on a loosing streak - I reccomend using a gun - record losses in a row is just 1!!

    Run well
