I meant to add to my roulette comparison: in real roulette, you don’t know what the answer will be, just that there will be an answer. But if you wanted to model betting strategies, it’d be perfectly reasonable to pick a single answer and use a computer model to see how often you’d win with a particular strategy. It still wouldn’t require manipulating the results to get that answer.
I know what the answer will be, whatever the stategy you use. You lose. But you can have fun and free drinks while doing it.
