Yo again ;)

"l.o.s.e.r. defeated 4v8: 20 to 18 (6,3,5,6 to 2,1,1,1,2,1,4,6)
l.o.s.e.r. defeated 3v5: 12 to 8 (3,4,5 to 1,2,1,1,3)"
There's a link to the wiki to the left of the game with a table at the bottom, for some reason there's a probability table on kdice wikipedia too:
4v8: 0.6%
3v5: 6.1%
I'm not saying 100% those numbers are right but if they're wrong then someone should be able to prove what the correct numbers are?

Anyway, for this case *given* that you have lost a 4v8 (which is 0.6%) you have a 6.1% chance of losing your 3v5 attack.

To clarify, winning 2vs6 is only about 0.1% But winning a 2vs6 *given* that you have already won a 2vs6 is *still* just 0.1%. 2vs6 is a very rare roll but don't be shocked if it happens twice in a row to someone. If you want to be shocked you have to say "I bet my next two 2vs6's shall both lose" and then do it. If one happens *given that the other has happened* then it's only 0.1%

Some people have won the lottery more than once I believe? It's possible. But if someone says "I've never won the lottery but I will win it twice" they're crazy.

I can only guess that you're saying bad dice made "loser" lose the first roll and the broken system made Phoenix's odds of winning the next roll > 6.1%. When I analyze the individual dice on those rolls and the ones on my profile page I do not see a rigged dice pattern occurring. I'm trying to help you prove whether or not it's broken --because I want an accurate probability table-- but what else do you want me to try besides my eighty 4vs3 rolls?

All the best!
