Probability

Playing around with the game, looking for an edge, as I would if approaching the market, it became apparent that the "switch" button pays out significantly more often that the "stay" button. A statistical edge in a money game is a license to print money, after 273 rounds, I am up $205 dollars, including the intitial exploratory losses.

So, do the same boring thing, click door #3, click "switch", and collect your pay.

Perhaps there is a more ingenious way to beat the game, but if I get paid for my method, I'll stick with it.

Happy trading.
