Three Lost 50/50s: Rigged or Normal? Fair-Odds Math

Do three lost 50/50s in a row prove the game is rigged? In ten independent fair tries, at least one three-loss streak occurs in 520 of the 1,024 possible sequences: 50.8%. That is exact fair-coin math, not a measured rate for any game. The episode asks what a personal streak can show and what actual evidence would be needed to test live odds.

Method: The video also uses one million offline model runs per game for Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai: Star Rail and Wuthering Waves, using published rules and labeled community soft-pity estimates. OGFL did not test live accounts, play these games for this episode, inspect game servers or measure actual player spending.
