Subject: Re: Random Number Generators


Here we go, you hit my territory. I deal Roulette and I can tell you
that on a legit wheel, I have seen the same number show up 3 times in
a row! Yes, that is right, 1 number of 38 possibles, three times in
a row. How's that for random? Seen it happen twice. As you can
imagine, 2 in a row happens all the time. And yes, have seen 10+ of
same colors. I also deal Blackjack and one night, in a single deck
deal, after 5 shuffles and 1 cut, I dealt all 4 Aces in a row!
Amazing!

See how far off topic we are folks? Let's get back to bard stuff :p

My contribution.... I got my butt kicked in the Arena this weekend by
a ranger that was 1 level below me because his MR was buffed beyond
belief :(
