Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most unlikely event is coming out ahead after playing forty times due to the house's edge of 50.7%, which means the probability of winning decreases with the number of games played. Winning or losing previous games does not affect the outcome of a new game due to the independence of each game.
