That's only a 1/10000 chance, not that unlikely.

This only happens on Pokemon PvP

I've been playing the second Pokemon Trading Card game on GB and I'm pretty fucking sure the computer cheats. I can't prove it, but sometimes I'll flip four coins at a critical moment where I otherwise would have won handily, get four tails in a row, and lose.

I also managed to get nine heads in a row during the Coin Flip casino game, which I'm pretty sure is statistically impossible, but the game just let me do it to get the exclusive card after a few tries.

If you are playing xcom they have systems to prevent save scumming

pickpocketing is actually a 100% chance of success every single time, because you can just keep reloading the game until it works

I just beat a tough pokemon boss with 4 hp left on my final pokemon. I'm due for some bad luck after that

>>739387298
no it isn't, it's a 1/10 chance 4 times.

They unironically see "50% chance to happen" and interpret it as "if item A happens the first time, item B will certainly happen the next time"

I once missed a 95% accuracy skill 4 times in a row
I was dumbfounded by the third but at that point I was committed

>>739387671
I don't believe in random outcomes.
Especially not from computers.

I think people are bad at it and, on top of that, other games have also helped warped people's perception of probability by rigging it in the player's favor and as people think it should actually be so they feel even more that something is off when they play a game like XCOM that just gives the actual chance shown. Like 90% in Fire Emblem is actually over 98%.
>>
>>739387671
Rates are rigged all the time.
>>
>>739387671
Because to the human brain
>anything over a 60% chance is a guaranteed hit
>anything under 30% is guaranteed not to happen
>>
>>739390204
one more then, it could've already happened as well
