Do You Feel Lucky? [LOCKED]
Tutorial TutorialDo You Feel Lucky? [LOCKED] 11
Alright, buckle up everybody because I have 500 shards to burn, which means I have 50 flips at [@Piper] 's Flip A Coin, plus the free ones I'll get every 5 minutes because I'm going to be there for a while.
![]()
Let's get started, nice and easy with the free flip
![]()
... great start
![]()
A few 10s, a single 20, mostly flat out losses for my first 10 tries. But it's cool, I've still got loads
![]()
And my luck changes after that! I get my first 40, and it doesn't stop there
![]()
By the time I get to 160, I'm just about ready to listen to Piper and cash out.
![]()
I'm not here to make money though, I'm here to see how high I can get! 160 goes to 320, then to 640!
![]()
(that's 7 wins in a row, for those of you keeping score at home. Statistically, there is a 0.78% chance of that happening. Do I keep pressing my luck? You betcha)
![]()
![]()
My heart is pounding at this point, and I wanna cut my losses, but curiosity drags me on. I need to know how high I can get!
![]()
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Much like the mighty Icarus, I have allowed my hubris to defeat me.
Still, 9 in a row isn't half bad! It's a 0.195% chance of that happening, which is pretty cool.
Despite not having cashed in my winnings once, I've still only spent 70 shards. Let's see how high I can get with 86 more tries!
![]()
Wow it's been long enough for another free flip
![]()
Loss, one win, a few losses, another single win, a BUNCH of losses in a rowi feel like i should be keeping better track, kinda curious how many losses im getting in a row since, statistically, 9 consecutive losses is as likely as 9 consecutive wins
An 80, followed by a 160. Would have been great to get those without the loss in the middle, but it is what it is.
2 losses, a 10, another 80. A free flip which got me 10. Another 10, 3 losses, another 10, a loss, a 20, 5 losses (oof), a 10, a 20, a loss, a 10, 3 losses, a 10
quick break to get get supper since I'm halfway through my starting amount
![]()
Alright! Back at it with a free flip!
Which I lost. *sigh*
Followed by another loss, then a 40, jumping right back in with two 10s in a row, followed by a 40! Then 2 losses, a 20 and 2 10s in a row. Yet another loss, then a promising 80

which is looking pretty good and-
![]()
I jinxed it by saying that, didn't I.
We interrupt this flip-a-thon to give me time to frantically reopen a bunch of tabs that my cat closed by walking across my keyboard. Thanks, Rayne, couldn't do it without you
The going is good after that brief interlude, did my cat bring me good luck?
![]()
Nope.
![]()
2 losses and a 20, 1 loss and a 20, a 10, 3 losses, a 20, a loss, a 40. An 80 to mix it up some. I seem to get those a lot. That's a 6.25% chance, so not too bad really.
Another 10, a 20, a 10, a 40, a 10. Lots of wins with only the loss that makes me lose the streak in a row.
The next flip goes really, well, bringing me right back up to my previous record!
![]()
Moment of truth time, can I beat my record?
![]()
YO THERE'S A PRIZE AT THIS POINT??
I still have 95 of my original 500 shards, but I think I'm just gonna end this here!
To answer the question from the start: no! I don't actually feel lucky. But I do feel stubborn, and sometimes, that's enough :P
oh no theres 11 different items i can choose from as the badge prize. im going to have to do this 10 more times, arent i?
Taglinebecause idk where to put it sorry: Do I feel lucky? Nope, but I do feel stubborn!

Oh dang, congrats on the win!!!
When you hit 9 wins and then lost the 10th flip I was SO SAD FOR YOU because I knew the 10th was the prize. I'm glad you managed to turn it around and win fully later!!
