Otherwise, it will sometime, sooner or later, no telling when. And when you've played enough games and calculate the probabilities from the game results, you'll see that a string of 5 consecutive wins happened less than one of 3, which in turn will have happened less than a string of 2 ... that's all there is to statistics. I know it's surprising to see sometimes, but it's not impossible, so it will happen! Groetjes, Paul
