So how many times can you roll without losing in a system that has a 1% chance of loss
On average
Just cause you pray to super long odds does it stop the losing roll?
If there was a button that would give you $1,000 each time you push it with a 1% chance of dying

I think very deeply
I'm not even pressing that button once. 1% is too many.

Why are you using a 10 flip example when there’s only 2 possible outcomes? Of course that’s extremely unlikely (there’s a 0.1% chance that would happen because 0.5^10=0.001). That’s comparable to pushing the button about 690 times before dying (since 0.99^690=0.001)

Millions of times
1% chance is extremely low. You probably got similar odds every time you go for a drive.
If that were true, we’d lose 1% of the people who hit the road each day. Chance of death while driving is obviously nowhere near 1%
Nah God will come back and punish you twofold

Probably but I was exaggerating for effect. 1% is a tiny chance.
Every 24 seconds someone dies on the road which is a scary statistic. Nobody thinks twice about jumping in their car though.

Does the 1% stack up?
Because if it's 1% every time, we probably do more dangerous stuff for less

But your exaggeration took all meaning away. The overall chance in dying in a car accident is far far far below 1% of the trips you take in cars.

That depends where you live. If you're in a third world country your chances skyrocket.

Now you’re moving the goalposts to 3rd world countries.
And even that’s not true...there’s not a country in the world where 1% of the car trips taken result in death. That would be HUGE.
