Bandits ‘strat’ for Reel King… feel free to correct me if i’m way off here.
The gamble ladder has to top every xx attempts. if its 4 stages or 10 stages. We don’t know if its a genuine 50/50 each attempt, but lets assume so.
For the sake of argument, lets say every ladder is 4 stages.
The odds of hitting the top are 1 in 16. so theoretically, you can hit the top once every 16 tries. If you want a different way of thinking about this. imagine its a coin. A ‘win’ is when the coin lands on Tails.. a Head is a loss.. its 50/50 chance.
There are 16 possible outcomes, shown here
TTTT, TTTH, TTHT, TTHH, THTT, THTH, THHT, THHH, HTTT, HTTH, HTHT, HTHH, HHTT, HHTH, HHHT, HHHH
with only the first one being a TOP.
As you play the game and lose, your losses can only be gained back by raising the stake, as the top amount is determined by the stake. So when you start losing you HAVE to raise the stake.. or you can never recover back what you lost. But of course, sometimes you can get lucky and hit that TTTT on the first attempt, other times, you could try 32 times, and not hit it. Or you could get a scenario, where you lost so much trying to top it, that even a Max Stake Top, won’t cover your losses….
It’s of course dangerous, because you need pockets to attempt it. and you could easily end up 50k down at some point, The interesting thing i guess, is how many of the ladders that HAVE been topped, are 6 or more rungs deep.. what are those odds?
8 rungs is 256/1 – so only 1 top in every 256 tries at it.. scary ! π
