Including the Second Chance re-roll, this means the chances of success range from 77.9% (for a raw 53% chance to succeed) to 84.8% (for a 61% chance). The expected profits from success accordingly range between 19.44 and 21.2 E. On failure, players receive 2.5E, and the expected profit from failure ranges between .55 E and .38 E. Thus, the overall profit for this action is '''20 to 21.6''' '''E'''. |
