    Yay, now that I sense a bit of pattern in this game....I earned 70k extra fweee. I agree with Izzy though, you have to be patient...or everything will just go down the drain.

                      I was #1 for the Best Win ratio...now I'm down to #10. I'm trying to get back between #1 and #5 spots.

                            There IS strategy.
                            I never said it wasn't possible that you won't get massive losing streaks.
                            I also never said it wasn't possible to get massive winning streaks.
                            Theoretically, You have the EXACT same chance of getting 100 wins in a row as getting any other individual combination of Wins/Losses. Why is it so uncommon for people to get 100 wins in a row? Because the law of averages is working against them. When you play 100 games of FFR Gambling, it is akin to flipping a coin 100 times.

                            What NORMALLY happens when you flip a coin 100 times. You'll end up with approximately 50 heads and approximately 50 tails. Now, there are always variations, but that is common.

                            I'll give you the short explanation why.
                            Using 4 coin flips as a demonstration:
                            The possible combinations are:
                            H-H-H-H
                            H-H-H-T
                            H-H-T-H
                            H-T-H-H
                            T-H-H-H
                            H-H-T-T
                            H-T-H-T
                            H-T-T-H
                            T-H-H-T
                            T-H-T-H
                            T-T-H-H
                            H-T-T-T
                            T-H-T-T
                            T-T-H-T
                            T-T-T-H
                            T-T-T-T

                            ALL of these have an EQUAL opportunity of happening. The total number of possibilities is 2^(Total number of rolls)
                            But note something. There is only ONE time where you get all heads. There are SIX times when you get 2 heads and 2 tails. Therefore you only have a 1 in 16 (6.25%) chance of winning (or losing) four in a row. Whereas you have a 6 in 16 chance (37.5%) of splitting 50/50.

                            To take this to a whole different level.
                            When you flip a coin 100 times (or 100 coins whichever), there are 1,267,650,600,228,229,401,496,703,205,376 different possible outcomes.
                            And yet, there is still only ONE combination that allows for 100 wins in a row. This has a 0.00000000000000000000000000000078886090522101180541172856528279% chance of happening
                            Whereas, there are over a QUADRILLION TRILLION combinations that allow for between 45 to 55 wins. (yes, that IS worded correctly)

                            So as you can see.
                            The longer a streak goes on, the more likely it is to break.

                            I hope I don't have to continue explaining this.

                              Gambling and I are love/hate. Up to 30k, down to 15k, up to 40k, down to 80, up to 1k. And here I sit, debating if I should try and gamble some more.

                                Just as I was doing good...I made a dumb decision to bet 100k.
                                Then..it went down hill from there..
                                I am now...on the biggest negative decrease
