The numbers add up a little TOO well

When doing the win chance forecast, does a tie count as a win for all players involved? That's the only way I can make sense of some of the percentages I've been seeing. Percentages like this:

I'm not sure if there is an official way to do these things, but you may want to change your methods to prevent this. I predict people will be bringing it up for a long time otherwise.

    At a tie both players have the 100%

    A tie counts as a win in Bounty Challenges.

    Ties and side pots are the things which mean you can see more than 100% I believe.

    Even in-game tutorial especially notes that the extra percentages are for tie probabilities.

    Hm, I didn't think to check the tutorial. Well ok then.

    Side pots don't seem to be counting towards win probabilities.

    The odds are showing you what chance you have of winning ANY money, be it a win or a tie. As it mentions in the tutorial, it is common for the %s to add up to more than 100%. There is also some rounding that goes on that can throw things off by a % point here and there. If you want to check our math, here is a good web based odds calculator.

    And no, we don't factor the sidepots into the math. It would just be too computationally expensive. It was hard enough squeezing these into the game loop!
