I like the feeling of confidence that Infinity - 1 gives me,

but I don`t think much of the accuracy at the mo. :p

That`s why it states use them as a guide only. ;)

When you win with infinity - 1 odds, let me know. Then they are way too inaccurate. ;-)

They are still a guide though, and you can still beat the odds on many an occasion.

Doesn`t this take the skill out of things a bit? Though I assume the odds are always calculated based on the other Gremlin choosing "none" for tactics, whether or not they`ve already selected (otherwise that would be unfair to the challenger).

You assume right, so if they didn`t choose normal, the odds are going to be wrong.

Also, they are just odds, not a guaranteed win-o-meter, although obviously sometimes they are if you are totally outclassed.

Can someone explain them for me please, I have a blind spot where odds are concerned :D

0.27 - 1, does that mean a good chance of winning, or bad? :D

1 - 1 is 50 / 50, or even odds, basically each has the same chance of winning.

100 - 1 is very unlikely you will win.

0.25 - 1 is very likely you will win

I`ve made all my challenges today using the odds the wrong way round :/

Oh, well, there`s always tomorrow.
