Double or Nothing Guide by Shoyru_Lover

The game of complete chance where to me, it seems impossible to get a high score (due to the seemingly impossible scores some people get [It’s like winning lotto!]), you’ll either love this game or not like this game. Belonging to the world of Meridell, the host is an iffy, unscrupulous, unprincipled looking skeith. Be careful around him, his grin is deadly!

Based on the heads tails rules of probability, the chances of you as the player progressing is always one half. For instance, the probability or chance of me tossing a heads on the next throw will be one half.

If you are playing for the high score table trophy, well you are not going to get it by being chicken (sorry about the choice of words) J I say go for it! Good luck! – Shoyru_Lover
