^that sucks. lol.

NO 6 and 9 are no better than the others… maybe in the ability to reach a number ending in 6 it might seem ok, but not according to the table.

Thats fucking awesome. I got like 4 squares over 5 boards so this is gonna be an afternoon project.

Edit: How do you read that as in chance of winning if the highest is 3.69?

So if you have a box that is 0.69 how do you put that in normal terms of winning/

it’s a percent.

All those numbers should add up to 100

you have a .69% chance of winning, or 69 in 10,000, or \<1 in 100
