Solitaire |

I have been playing a lot of solitaire lately and I know the game is randomized but there is one thing that highly upsets me. When I have some card sitting there like a black jack and I finally find a red queen to move him to and what do I find under him ANOTHER BLACK JACK!!!? I hate that. |

Whoa, this is really ghosts because I'VE been playing Solitaire a lot recently too! I've been listening to the audiobooks for A Song of Ice and Fire while playing Solitaire. I just switched the Vegas scoring and I might have to start leaving the game open just to see how high my score can get. |

On my phone I have an APP where I can play solitaire games that are known to win but when I play online at http://worldofsolitaire.com/ my win rate seems to suffer.
Hands Dealt: 95
Hands Played: 94 (98.95%)
Hands Won: 54 (57.45%)
Average Length: 4 minutes, 11 seconds
Total Playtime: 6 hours, 34 minutes
Total Moves Made: 10,622
my current stats, the length of play is sometimes skewed if a call somes in or I leave the game running for too long. |

The neat thing about Solitaire is that, to this day, math hasn't actually been able to figure out the probability of successfully winning a game (whether draw one, draw three, one pass, etc.)
It seems weird that Vegas would offer a game where they didn't know their exact odds, but I guess they've seen the player get creamed no matter what, over and over again, without exception, for over a century, so I guess they're okay with just shrugging and taking the money.
"It is one of the embarrassments of applied mathematics that we cannot determine the odds of winning the common game of solitaire." |

At one point I believed that I had figured out a SYSTEM to beat solitaire.
I went head to head with an online casino with this system.
I felt like a genius, and that I was going to take them for thousands of dollars.
I soon found out that I'd just been running well.
Found out the hard way! |
