    Fair. People are never 100%, on anything, except death. Even so, the odds of rolling a seven with two six-sided dice remain the highest odds.

    Medicine would not exist without rolling the dice on the highest odds.

    We kinda do this on the daily, as humans.

      Even so, expecting to roll a seven every time would be bad math

          Snake eyes? That’s a ⅙2 chance. ¹/36 to be precise. 2.7%.

          Starting next session, there will be over 100 progressives in Congress. That’s nearly one out of three Dems. ⅓.

          You just need to roll a five or a six. That’s all. Just one five or one six.

          Maybe don’t bet the deed to your house on it. But it’s worth any little smidgeon of faith you can work up. Especially in a game where mere belief could be enough to influence the result.
