Default Re: probablity question

[ QUOTE ]
A breakeven player has a 50% chance of losing in any session (ignoring the probability of coming out exactly even). To do that 50 sessions in a row, regardless of session length, is 1 chance in 2^50 or about 1 quintillion.

There would be a little bit of skew for short sessions, making it slightly more likely. But I'm getting picky. And 1k hands is obviously not a short session, so your numbers make sense for the original question.
