A reasonable version would be one where the House wins in case of a tie. Then the odds go like this (keeping the "random number from 0 to Luck" part): Luck Odds ---- ----- -3 39.1% -2 41.5% -1 43.3% 0 44.4% 1 46.1% 2 48.7% 3 52.1% (so luck=3 should either be not allowed or be hard to attain) -- Rob Speer _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
