Been having some fun with the math, took a look at the last 33 Check-Out playings, including today. The magic number is $18.69 with a decent result in our error margin at a 95% confidence interval that falls well within our acceptable $2 boundary range, since $2, either way is 10.7%(!)* for an acceptable error margin.

Today was special and an exception and loser to the rule, but that total wins you 24 of the last 33 playings or just under 73% without any other info. If it was a more extreme loss it was more likely to be under $16.69. Two of the four times $18.69 lost by being too low of a total, it was roughly within a quarter, or $2.00-$2.25 difference.

*Which arguably tells me $2 is probably too large of a range statistically for this number, and to get the desired win-loss rate of ideal, sharp players, you'd want both of A) Wider variance in price sets/totals and B) More expensive winning raw totals. Not that these need to remotely happen if you're Chris, it's a hard enough game for most players anyway. But Drew's oft-calming axiom is actually right, people in theory should win the game all the time, purely by probability and math dives.
Hard work increases the probability of serendipity. —Ken Poirot

It's irrelevant since no one is going to go for a set target number in the game realistically. (How frowned upon would it be to do that?) I bet for car playings you can add that sweet spot about 2.50-3.50.

Frederick priced some tough items amazingly today. It became obvious if you knew a couple small hidden rules that 1 was not only a safe pick in that it wouldn't end the game in a loss, it almost certainly had to be in the car. Then, not only did he not way underbid the near-daily 40k+ car SC, he was pretty damn close to it!

It was nice to see Danger last.

If I was playing Check Out today, my total would've been under by $2.01. For a car as well. :embarassed:
