There is a tendency to remember the extremes, those days when the cards were dealt in your favor, or the times when it seemed the computer was out to get you. Yet the times when the cards were average tend to fade away. Such is the case with online euchre games. It’s easy to think something must be amiss here. I wasn’t getting these types of crap cards the time when I made 9 lones in a single night.
Up until now, there has never been a way to test whether computer deals are the same as live deals.
Here I’m using the euchre workshop to deal 70 hands and see how close my results would match which Wes got using a standard deck of cards.
The results may surprise you, the numbers came out relatively close.
Here is my data.
Calling gets euchred: 29/70 = 41.42%
Calling gets 1 pt: 34/70 = 48.57%
Calling gets sweep 7/70= 10%
And here is what Wes got

Calling gets euchred: 27/70 = 38.57%
Calling gets 1 pt: 33/70 = 47.14%
Calling gets sweep: 10/70 = 14.29%
I’ve added counters on the workshop that you can use to track euchres, points made, and sweeps.
