The odds never stack, so it’s not like you are due a win just because there were so many “nope!”s. It’s always 1 in 4, which is 25% chance (0% in xcom terms).
Don’t judge me… I’ll pick it every time goddamnit!!!
90% of gamblers quit right before getting plychrome
Once it worked 4 times in a row for me. So now I never expect it to work ever again.
It worked the first time I did it and I've been chasing my losses since then.
One day It'll work and 5 seconds later I'll die.

I counted and it took no less than 15 tries before it ever worked for me. Ever since then then my rates have improved but I'm still highly skeptical of the "1 in 4" written on the card.
1 in 5 on lucky cards is a damn lie too. I had it on like nine cards in my deck, played them at least three dozen times over the course of four antes after I started counting, not once did the +20 proc. .03% chance. .03%. Call me a walking debacle, god only knows why I play games of chance.
It because it's random and not pseudo random. Video games sometimes switch to pseudo random because otherwise things like this happens. Dota 2 had a character with an automatic counter attack which had a 30% (can't really remember) chance to proc. They had to change it to pseudo random because there were lucky/unlucky people getting 0 counters or 100% counters
This is also true because truly random number generation on computers doesn't really exist. https://youtu.be/tP-Ipsat90c. Numberphile has a couple neat videos on randomness, here's one
I feel like lucky procs all the time for me, while Wheel of Fortune is a constant source of disappointment.
Wait this card does more than “nope”?!
Hello I don't play balatro but wasn't this community just complaining about the game getting an 18+ rating for promoting gambling?
Just look at these comments lol.
I mean.. that's a pretty weird take. Most games have some sort of RNG - whether it be in the background or visibility listed probabilities. That doesn't mean they're promoting gambling.
The outrage over the 18+ rating was partially over other games with actual gambling (monetized loot boxes) are somehow PG / PG-13.
Meanwhile, this game with no in-game purchases and is only thematically about "Poker" is 18+ because it's "promoting gambling".. If the game had an artwork swap they'd see it as a typical deck building rougelite and rate it the same as Slay the Spire.
