Wait to hear from my high holiday buddy.
I think we've gone through this discussion before...
Running it X number of times lessens the VARIABILITY, but not the ODDS.
What you're doing is dividing the pot into chunks - and you will have to same odds to win each of those chunks.
If you ran it twice with a 40% chance of winning then you would lose it all 36% of the time, get your money back 48% of the time, and win both halves 16% of the time.
(.36 * 0 + .48 * 0.5 + .16 * 1)/2 = .40 = (.60 * 0 + .40 * 1)
So - your chance of still having money goes up from 40% to 64%, but your chance of having ALL of the money goes down from 40% to 16%.
