Default Gambling

Still too easy. I went from paying attention to all the stats between the two fighters to just paying attention to some of the stats. Eventually it was only the strength stat that made the difference for me and then it was just down to taking a wild guess. Under the first two procedures it would be normal for me to win at least 3 out of 4 bets each day. This resulted in a record of 38 wins out of 40 bets over the course of 10 days. Under the Last two procedures it would be normal to at least break even if not take home a profit. This resulted in a record of 26 wins out of 40 bets over the course of 10days. The end result leaves me to believe that even if someone only guesses while placing bets that they will still win a profit over the long run.

One possible solution might be to hide all or certain fighter stats from the user when showing the matches for the day. This would result in the user having to rely more on intuition as opposed to just fighter stats when gambling. However, this would not resolve the issue of being able to guess a profit.

Another possible solution might be to include betting odds instead of all or certain fighter stats. Once again, this would only be a portion of the final fix since it is rather obvious that the gambling feature needs to be hard coded differently in order to bring about more challenge.
