Try going for a 25 percent chance and trying 47 times, that's less then a 100 millionth of a chance and possibly (I don't remember which) less the a billionth of a chance of this happening.
My best was at 6%. I was planning to relaod and said to myself, ok, I won't reload if I get this ability and I did.

Wow go to Vegas right now and put 1 million dollars on the Bengals winning the super bowl. You will probably win.

I gamble at around 30% to 40% success rate. Anything below sometimes takes a long time

The problem is that i use a gambler's ring and it breaks if it is a low %. So i have to deal with the fact that its >10% and there is a % that gambler's ring would break.

As long as there is a 10% chance of success, I will roll for the ability. Sure, it takes time, but with good practice, and figuring out the roulette system, it's actually quite easy. You just have to spin it at the right moment, and if need be, hold the C button and point the joystick either up or down. But yea, pretty complicated formula to explain right now, but it's reliable. Same thing goes with trying to get a certain item with surprise bags, all about timing.

I generally have better luck with 16% and 17% versus 25%. 25% is the worst one. I don't know if it is a glitch or what, but it takes forever when it is 25. 30% or above works great, usually doesn't take that long. I can get 8% pretty easy most of the time as well.

I don't know what lazer is talking about. If there is a master secret, hopefully, he will reveal it on this thread even if it is complicated. I find it hard to believe that by pushing buttons you can effect the outcome, but if lazer has a system, I'm all for it!

EDIT: Thanks mike for the correction.

Sorry for the mistype. I'll edit my post to reflect the proper person.
