MODERATORS
Six times in a row is a little less than 18%, so not totally unrealistic
16.666...%. I'll never forget that one.
That'd be 1/6, a value that is close to but not quite (3/4)^6
One day It'll work and 5 seconds later I'll die.

1 in 5 on lucky cards is a damn lie too. I had it on like nine cards in my deck, played them at least three dozen times over the course of four antes after I started counting, not once did the +20 proc. .03% chance. .03%. Call me a walking debacle, god only knows why I play games of chance.
It because it's random and not pseudo random. Video games sometimes switch to pseudo random because otherwise things like this happens. Dota 2 had a character with an automatic counter attack which had a 30% (can't really remember) chance to proc. They had to change it to pseudo random because there were lucky/unlucky people getting 0 counters or 100% counters
This is also true because truly random number generation on computers doesn't really exist. https://youtu.be/tP-Ipsat90c. Numberphile has a couple neat videos on randomness, here's one
I feel like lucky procs all the time for me, while Wheel of Fortune is a constant source of disappointment.
Cavendish goes extinct more than The Wheel works...
The odds never stack, so it’s not like you are due a win just because there were so many “nope!”s. It’s always 1 in 4, which is 25% chance (0% in xcom terms).
