Magic in Quantity

Here’s some simple math that helped me.

If a bet has only a one percent chance of success:

Try 10 times, and your odds of succeeding at least once are about 9.6%.

Try 50 times: about 39.5%.

Try 100 times: about 63.4%.

Try 200 times: about 86.6%.

Try 300 times: about 95.1%.

There’s magic in quantity.
