No "Max Bet" button on Roullete (the one that needs it most)
Why didn't they put a "Max Bet" button on the Roullete gambling game?
Roullete is the one game where it doesn't keep a max bet after every game.
As a result, every Roullete game I play I keep having to mash E to get to 200 every time. It would be so much simpler with a "Max Bet" button that I can push.
They could've used A or D or any number, of letters, outside of the "Q W E R A S D F" rectangle.
What reason would there be not to put a "Max Bet" button in Roullete?

Probably because you canbet on more than one thing in Roulette and the scripts couldn't account for that many potential caps swapping around at once.

I actually tried it, you can't put more than 1 maxed bet on something.
I originally said it was possible since it would let me do multiple bets with smaller amounts.

If I turn out to be wrong, then it doesn't let you place anymore chips after putting a bet on 0 and 00.

It’s unfortunate, it’s also unfortunate that becoming luckier stacks the odds in your favor.

In blackjack for example I would have liked for example a little % HUD element of next card being under 21 rather than an incredible string of good fortune. Luck was meant to be about calculating probabilities rather than some sort of abstract blessing.

Either this is sarcasm or you don't understand (or prefer this next part to not be true) that luck is made to be just that... luck...

Its the funny thing about the internet its allways hard to tell :)

I just finished a Mr House run if that helps "Success depends on forethought, dispassionate calculation of probabilities, accounting for every stray variable"

Not always hard to tell... Sometimes it's heavily implied or pointed out.

Though success, I'm not sure on luck being possible to account for. Maybe if you knew something about the chances made from the coding (or looked it up) you could account for it.

Also, foreknowledge should probably be put in there. When I did Blackjack, apparently I had been using a different set of rules.
For the Fallout Blackjack (or maybe the actual Blackjack) all face cards are considered as 10
For the Blackjack, that I thought was the way to play, all face cards continue with number.
I.E. 10, Jack (11), Queen (12), King (13).
Got confusing when I thought I had hit a 22 and was still in the game. Became much easier when I looked that one up.

It was a joke of sorts, Mr House has a luck stat of 10 in special and he has a fixation on probability. That quote was one of his lines :)
