Satoshi Mines true probabilities and edges

I thought some people might find these couple of posts useful.

Tells you how to calculate the probability of Satoshi Mines games for yourself:

And this one shows you the true probability and true odds vs the actual odds in 25 squares vs 3 bombs

And it also shows you how the edge changes in the game

Look how your edge gets worse up until guess 7 before it gets better again

Anyways, hope you find the articles useful.   

Thanks

If you want to minimize the house edge, you should always play the 1-bomb game and cashout after making 1 dig.
The house edge would be about 0.16% only.

maybe you can post the calculations you made and got this number?

You can make all the calculations yourself, the blog posting shows you how to do it

That's the point of the article, to allow you to calculate probabilities for yourself and compare them to the odds being offered
