Perhaps Ryan is truncating percentages, as he does for the percentage profile for place of finish. The sum of first through seventh place never seems to be 100%. It is often 96%, 97%, or 98%.

I think the luck statistic should be relative to the other players in the game. So you are giving a % relative to the average of the table.

Although right now the luck stat is bullshit, last game i lost two 6v5's an 8v7 a 6v4 and a 6v2 in 4 consecutive turns and was given a 45% luck.

I have determined (through talks with Kehoe) that the Luck % in one's profile is merely a measure of the player's skill in relation to X LUCK X. It has no mathematical significance beyond this.

moneymango,
the average luck of a table is always 50%.

I think DAS said it best.

After all, if you lose like all your stacks but 1 in 1st turn and then have some very unlikely 1v4-defenses, statistically you had a lucky game...

So, this value is completely useless...

o really? i thought the 50% was based on some average die value or something.

Sigh - I guess you need to get your humor-detection-unit fixed.

There is some numbers and a relation to the likeliness of some rolls in the calculation of "luck", but nevertheless the value does not say a lot. Being "lucky" won't help your game when you are literally dead after 1st turn.

i would just like to know what code / formula is used to determine when and how im going to be unlucky..
