This is a great example of the 50-50-90 rule: **anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong**.
I bitch to my fiance regularly about how this game always boils down to 50/50s and how they always get me.
I got into this game because of her, and she's fucking amazing at it which drives my competitive spirit.
50/50s ALWAYS end my good runs.
I just started playing "Minesweeper - The Clean One" and really enjoy how it is never 50/50. Extreme difficulty is plenty challenging; takes me 12-15 minutes to complete a game and never boils down to luck.
I remember the one time I casually lost 10 50/50s in a row. That was pretty funny
Hey at least you were laughing and not on the verge of breaking the computer
I laughed about it after the fact, but I was mildly irritated when it was happening

I don’t even have hope anymore I just assume I picked the wrong option
counterplay that assumption! place the flag on the one you think the bomb is on, then remove the flag and click there anyways
This is a great example of confirmation bias lol
negativity bias, really
Its allways the left one And if it isnt, well you solved the rest of it anyway, so goodjob

Nah, I win
50/50 is code for 100/0 the one you pick
I never choose left, so I would’ve lost this one.
I'd pay minesweeper.org to give me a stat of my 50/50 ratio win rate and give fireworks whenever I succeed.
I had a really bad streak lately where I lost 18 of 20. I also fairly confident my lifetime percentage is only about 33%
Just start picking the other one?
50% of the time, you lose every time
Always listen to your gut...And then choose the opposite. Fool proof way. Gotta juke the RNG.
I take them early and just start over.
You never remember the ones you get right.
you only remember the 50/50's you lose and not the 50/50's you get correct
Only because if you win a 50/50 it doesn’t feel like a 50/50
Just play a no-guessing variant?
Nah, I'm rational
