Talk:Nine Rings

Standing in the corner be used to get both winning tickets and some losses, for it doesnt matter where you stand odds are the same for winning tickets(middle has 1/9 chance of winning 25 and 4/9 to win 15(4*15=60), thus net 85 ticket won per 90 lost, sides got 1/9 to win 40 and 3/9 to win 15(3*15=45), thus again 85 tickets won per 90 lost and corners got 1/9 to win 55 and 2/9 chances to win 15(2*15=30) thus again 85 tickets won per 90 lost the chances of losing games on corners is 6/9 so per 5 tickets youll have lost 6 times. The 4*4 has a chance of 9/16 of losing 6/16 to earn 3 and 1/16 to earn 12 so per 16 games your expected to win 18+12=30 tickets while having spend 2*16=32 tickets per 16 games youll lose 2 tickets and have lost 9 games. or something.

So there's an average of around 400 loss per hour?

Corner strategy

 * Expected Result for a corner is (-10 tickets) + (1/9*55) + (2/9)*15 (+6/9*0) ==> -10 + 85/9 ==> -4/9. You lose four tickets (60 gold) every nine games.
 * Every nine games, you lose four tickets (net), make +85 tickets progress on the "Lucky" title track, and make +6 progress on the Unlucky" title track.
 * Or, each game you lose 0.44 tickets, +9.44 Lucky, +0.66 Unlucky.
 * First Lucky title is 50,000 / 9.44 => 5296.6 games
 * First Unlucky title is 5,000 / .66 => 7,575.75 games
