Game show maths guides
Four guides that put numbers on the questions players actually ask: do stats help, does a strategy work, what does spreading a bet do, and how far can 100 spins stray from the average.
All guides
Crazy Time stats: what history can and cannot tell you
Stats pages and trackers list the last few thousand Crazy Time spins. This guide shows what those lists should look like if the wheel is...Crazy Time strategy: what the arithmetic says
Every Crazy Time strategy is a staking plan: a rule for how much to bet and when to stop. A staking plan cannot change the house edge,...Bet-spread maths: what spreading your stake changes
Spreading a stake over several wheel spots feels safer. It is, in one sense: you win more often. This guide puts numbers on what you...What 100 spins look like on a 54-segment wheel
A typical session is around 100 spins. This guide shows the counts a fair 54-segment wheel produces, the range you should treat as...
How the guides fit together
The stats guide shows what a log of past spins should look like for a fair wheel, with expected counts and normal ranges for 1,000 spins. The strategy guide runs the Martingale arithmetic on the number 1 with exact streak probabilities. The bet-spread guide compares three ways to stake the same four units on one spin, and the 100-spins guide gives the counts and dry-spell odds for a typical session.
Each guide ends with a short FAQ and links back to the show pages, where the segment tables live. Where a number comes from a third party rather than the developer, it is labelled next to the figure. Browse the five show pages under Shows or compare them in the RTP table.
Who the guides are for
All four guides are written to be readable without a maths background. Formulas appear in the text and in table captions, not as jargon, and every number has its source next to it. They are updated when a developer page changes, and the check date sits under the tables.
Questions about the maths
If a calculation is unclear, write to us and we will add the working. Short explanations are easier to check than long ones, so each guide shows the formula once and then applies it to numbers.
What ties them together
All four guides use the same ingredients: segment counts, probabilities and the binomial distribution, which counts how often an event with a fixed chance shows up in a fixed number of trials. None of them predicts a spin. They tell you how the range of outcomes looks before you play, so a result inside that range does not surprise you and a result outside it is worth a second look.
If you only read one, start with what 100 spins look like.
