fayth stick to poker!!!

if catz is 1:2 odds to win on a single game (as the result shows) then his odds to win a bo31 are really, really horrible and nothing close to 1:2. would be fun to run this by some smart math people.


I think it is just simple statistics. He has a 33% chance to win every match, and needs to win at least 16 times to win a bo31. You just to a cumulative binomial condition and 31 for the number of trials, greater than or equal to 16 for the number of successes and you get 2.456%. I could be wrong though any other suggestions?

Yeah, you are correct. I did a bit of binomial analysis of winrate graphically a while ago, but I never went up to Best of 31.

Yes, its 2.4% given a 33 percent success per trial and a condition of at least 16 successes.

cuz obviously I knew I wasn't breaking even or else I wouldn't have bothered betting

Fayth, let's play "pick a number 1-3", where you win if you pick right, I win if you pick wrong. I'll give you the great deal of 2.1:1 odds. Best of 31. PM me for action.

Catz, you should play next Minigun or Destiny. Would make perfect sense.

Isn't 20$/h very low if you want to play in the range of 2/4 - 5/10? At least offer something in the range of 100$ for 2/4 game and 500$ for 5/10.
And no I'm not interested even at those rates :D.

Atleast on Catz Stream, haven't checked Kiwi's.

ok I'll stop discussing gambling with sc players :D


I think I'd really like to do some capping against you

I just think thats one of the most hilarious brags about a line I've ever seen haha. You totally whiffed on it and then claim you nailed it and pretend like you have an explanation. But hey if you wanna be a successful gambler without knowledge of basic math or stats, more power to you.

Maybe it is best you don't discuss gambling with SC players. Some of them are pretty sharp

This made me laugh lol, I think earlier on somebody linked to Fayth's poker profile and he'd made like a 60k dollar payout at some tournament, and doubtless makes some from just online poker. I'd been interested to try it but always neglected to as I'm pretty terrible at maths, but now I may just give it a go

Awesome series, also interesting to see how versatile and not-terrible proxy hatches are, blew my mind lol
