Hi Rick!
Wierd you emerged from lurkdome. I just searched and emailed friends that
smurf quote you once posted because it was related to what we were discussing.
Anyhoo from what I remember of analogous situations switching does not improve
your odds. With coin tosses if you get H-H-H-H-H it is still
fifty-fifty of you getting Tails.
I also think that people think their odds get better after losing
so many time at the lottery but that is a myth I believe.
my vote is number one,
erin

Switching don't mean diddley.

are, you picked a bad one to begin with. So odds are, if you switch, you're
switching to a good one.
