Going to be hard to notice the switching because everyone plays the same decks.

How is the concept false?  It says you have a one in two chance (That's 50%) that the decks will switch.  It's not Eredan's fault that you haven't gotten your decks switched yet.  That's just how the odds work.

He played 10 times and not one time his deck got swapped does mean...

1/2^10 = 1/1024 = 0.0009765625
The chance is around 0,1 % that this happened.
But hey I would never pay for this kind of events.

It's theoretically possible every game he plays won't switch his decks.  All your equation proved is he's extremely unlucky.

Re : November 23rd: Tournament of the Million - Treachery

MrLordi92, it's very easy for Eredan to ensure an average "luck".

Option A:
You have 50% chance of swapping decks.
Did the swap happen? Chance reduced to 1/3.
- It happened again? Chance reduced to 1/4.
It didn't happen? Chance increased to 2/3.
- It didn't happen again? Chance increased to 3/4.

Option B:
You have 50% chance of swapping decks.
If you don't swap decks for X times in a row, next time is automatic swap.
If you swap decks for X times in a row, next time it won't swap no matter what.
If player A has chance to automatic swap, and player B has chance to automatically not swap, the normal 50% chance is used.

There.
Either of the above options would make chance based games that are meant to be fun actually do what they're meant to do SOME of the time.

Option A: Player a: has swapped decks 2 times in a row, player b: hasn't swapped decks 2 times in a row....would they just cancel each other out?  >.>

same thing with option B: >.> just saying...

Re : November 23rd: Tournament of the Million - Treachery

I did mention it on option B.
No need to mention on option A as it's obvious it cancels each other out.

The fractions I used as an example might not be exactly that.

It would be more like:
If you keep swapping -> 1/2 -> 1/3 -> 1/4 -> 1/5 -> 1/6
If you never swap -> 1/2 -> 2/3 -> 3/4 -> 4/5 -> 5/6

The odds might be (Player A's chance + Player B's chance) divided by 2.

So if player A swapped 4 times in a row and Player B didn't swap 4 times in a row, it's (1/6 + 5/6) / 2 = 1/2 = normal chance.

Sure, it's easy for them to ensure it.  Do they?  According to Keybo1, they don't.

Wich means they don't because they won't, not because they can't.
This is me criticizing Feerik, in case you didn't realize yet.

Not really.  I'm known for not reading your entire posts.

Personally, with such an odd gimmick I would think that they would have it set up to trigger more often. Because, by all of math's logic, someone can play the entire not and not have it trigger.
