Interestingly, I had an epiphane (sp?) on the bus ride home. So while hitting two diamonds on the first run does slightly reduce the chances of hitting the outs on the second run, I failed to figure in the fact that hitting exactly one out in the first run actually INCREASES the chances of winning on the second run to slightly slightly above that of a single run.

I appreciate all of the sarcastic and/or caustic replies though. I'm not really sure what the point of those was. Do you want to prove how smart you are here? I thought this board was for asking questions and receiving some help or some interesting theory. Stick to that and maybe we'll all get a bit more accomplished here.

Thanks to all of the helpful responses, sorry to clutter the thread with my incorrect hunch.
