Tuesday received a large helping of cooked meat from yesterday. Way too much actually. It's really good and I can't tell what animal it is from, but does anybody want to take five kilos off of my letters? ----- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics.

Let's see chance of snake-eyes is 1/6 or 16.67%. Okay, that happens. So chance of four consecutive snake-eyes is (1/6)^4 or 0.077% or once in about 1300 sets of four.
I suppose it could happen. But if it happened to me I might ask if I could take the dice home.

And considering who owns the casino, yeah, it's an absolute certainty. It's actually much worse than that. The probability of getting Snake Eyes once is in fact 1/36 (1/6 for one die coming up with a 1, times 1/6 for the other die doing the same). So the odds of rolling four in a row are 1 in 1.68 million!

Loaded dice seems likely. OR maybe Aylee is really bad at rolling to the point that the likelihood of getting the same result twice isn't random (however, that doesn't really seem plausible looking at the way she's rolling).

I can easily see Bun Bun cheating, he has to keep it subtle. If everyone got nothing but snake eyes, the casino wouldn't be in business long.

Indeed, because everyone will bet "crappy person" and win non stop until the casino runs out of money. Wouldn't really surprise me if Bun Bun didn't think that far ahead.

I suspect the Bun is gambling remotely through a proxy. He bet on "Crappy Person" and had the croupier swap in the loaded dice. And he did it to Aylee and Gwynn just to piss them off! Now it's time for everybody to notice the freaky pattern and bet on "Crappy Person" just as Bun-Bun swaps the dice again...

This is what I'm betting. I probably lose.

Well this has been a very filler-like arc so far between the reuse of the coloring of a pic he laready drew in one panel, long winded expaination of the rules, and reusing the same panel for the dice roll. :(
And I hate the Sia hair, but I do appreciate that its a good way to hide Aylees blank eyes. Less dumb than scribbling on anime eyes.
