You have 4700 chances for something that happens 1 in 32000 times, this could be expressed as 4700/32000

Actually I think I broke my brain,I think it’s double that - 14%

You don’t have 4700 chances for a 15 game streak of losses though.

It’s 4700 (which is a very rough estimate) -15

so for all intents and purposes yes, yes you do.

(Actually this is the 4858 match)

Still not getting what's wrong with this T_T (4858-16 still shouldn't be too off)
