I wish the person who won the 2 games of Arsenal visited our forum. I'd like to know the numbers he
won. I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, or if he got lucky. Anyway, I did my 50. Games like this frustrate me. I don't see skill playing much of a part in winning the game, although it can improve how many points you get. |

Well in the first 182 hands I found one that I could win. Playing in order of course. |

In the rules, they have it down as 10% chance of winning. I think they'd better lower it. I'm giving up at 50. There's no way I can play 132 more hands without tearing my hair out, and even then I still might not win. |

Okay. I had no problem winning that game, Paul. So it's my opinion that the game is mostly luck with maybe just a little bit of skill. Would you believe winning that one game put me in second place. Weird isn't it? |

Jsut play Paul's winning number and the always winnable #. And my 2 winners and you are really the big winner. The leader in wins is really finding them. I wonder how many I missed in the 232 I have played.

I know it's hard to believe, but I really don't care anymore if I'm first or not. It's just you and others put in more work than I did, and by winning 1 game, I get in second place. Something doesn't seem right. But I'm finished with Arsenal now. I just thought maybe I wasn't playing the game right. |

Are "Arsenal" and "Rough Rider" games? I can't find them in my list of games. When did they come about? |

Try 1247419008. It is winnable but took me several tries. There is some skill involved but its mostly luck. |

I had trouble with my ISP--I wonder if a new version came out while the service was down--I never was notified about it. |

Did you get your latest Goodsol Newsletter? It came out not too long ago, and you can download the new version from there. If you don't subscribe to the Newsletter, I think it would be a good idea to do so, and it's free. |

Knowing your number was winnable KenB made me stay with it. Now I wonder how many I gave up on that might have been winners. Since I was playing in order I guess I will never know. It looks like random is a better way to find winners. |

Here's another winning number: 1315643136. I couldn't resist trying again. However, this is still only the second game I've won. |

Game #130 was as far as I went. It is the only one that I won. I did suggest in the Beta trial that 10% was way too high. |
