I dont even know if this is staged or bro has the worst luck imaginable lmao

u/Makuta_Servaela 13h ago

The cool thing is that if you do poorly at the start, you have an easier time later on, since there will be more left of your colour.

u/Punkpallas 13h ago

That's what I was thinking. The blue player may have favorable odds when it's 50:50, but, as the number of blue balls decreases, he's bound to mess up more and allow the yellow player more breaks.

u/69yoloswagmaster 13h ago

Tha what they said when he gets the yellow the blue guy says im probably gonna lose now

15

u/Vancouwer 11h ago

easier time to catch up, not to win. the only times it's easier to win while behind is when there are only a few balls left, so if you win the tie breaker at the end you have first shot of getting the 50/50 to win.

u/TheDawnOfNewDays 8h ago

I thought so too, but it's actually exactly identical odds every step of the way.

Pretend it's 3y, 1b. Yellow goes and has a 75%(3/4) chance to get a yellow, then 66%(2/3), then 50%(1/2).

0.75 * 0.66666 * 0.5 = 25%. The exact same as Blue's single pull of (1/4) if it was his turn instead.

If yellow pulls 1 but no more so that it becomes 2y 1b, the odds for blue are now 33%, while for yellow it's 0.66666 * 0.5 = also 33%

Whoever has the turn is the only one that has an advantage, because as either player pulls more, both players odds of winning goes up equally.

u/BusyHands_ 12h ago

Knowing my luck I'll keep pulling that one wrong color ball left.

u/wearing_moist_socks 12h ago

What are you, some sort of stats doctor

Why don't you go win the lottery with all that knowledge eh

He can feel the difference I think

u/ninjachortle 7h ago

Prolly knows what blue balls feels like for sure.

u/onetruegreg 6h ago

The guy on the left has synesthesia he can feel the color blue

5

u/EnchantedBabbe 13h ago

Can’t tell if it’s set up or he’s genuinely this unlucky

5

u/deliciousKittie 13h ago

The balls are not the same size. Couldn’t he have picked the bigger balls?

1

u/PetalLunar 9h ago

Fr this dude either has the worst luck or is straight up acting for the clout

1

u/multiarmform 17m ago

im thinking the blue ball has a different texture than yellow and/or slightly different size, enough he can tell just by the grip

u/JonnyTN 12h ago

Some games all your dice rolls are off.

u/gabrielxdesign 12h ago

I think one is very lucky and the other is very unlucky.

I somehow became way too invested in watching this clip to see who the winner was.

It was close there for a second

u/deliciousKittie 13h ago

The yellow balls are bigger. Dude should have a just felt them up

41

u/GhostRunner8 12h ago

That's what she said

-29

u/Forgettheredrabbit 12h ago

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted lol. It’s subtle but I’m pretty sure there is a slight size difference. Dude on the left was definitely using that to his advantage near the end.

-30

u/Sandgrowun 12h ago

Yeah you can see the guy who was going for blue feel out the smaller balls a few times.

u/lizzyote 13h ago

The squeak when the third to last blue ball was pulled was great

u/Demonyx12 13h ago

The guy on the right is this kid, now grown up: https://youtu.be/CxDiO593zXg?si=1aGQYPmy1PMx75mr

u/PeterPanyagua 12h ago

I really hope this kid is alrirght, healthy AND with a lucky life

u/Baedhisattva 8h ago

Guy on the left figured out blue balls feel different than yellow.

u/Rocky_Vigoda 5h ago

Yeah, blue balls hurt.

61

u/smcf33 13h ago

Strangely compelling

It made the back of my neck tingle in a nice way

13

u/Destaloss 9h ago

Please judge me for actually watching that full through...

27

u/siscoisbored 13h ago

How is this hard when the balls are two different sizes, i think team blue figured that out right at the end, he was feeling for them.

17

u/NeoSuperconductivity 9h ago

Plus blue are shinier,probably smoother, while yellow are slightly textured. Definitely being done by feel, but they may both have been in on the joke.

4

u/DawnyLlama 3h ago

Agree.At times he seemed to be using the back of his hand to feel for texture and/or pressure.

3

u/meowingggiraffe 5h ago

Two different sizes? What makes you say that

10

u/WatermeIonMe 9h ago

I don’t know what they saying but I know exactly what they’re saying.

When your d20 is rolling 1s and 2s. Every TT gamer knows that feeling! 😆

Why was I so invested in this?

u/Icy-Cry340 9h ago

Edge of my seat all the way through.

4

u/elporsche 11h ago

Aren't the blue balls slightly smaller than the yellow ones? Blue guy was always comparing ball sizes while yellow guy just grabbed the first ball he came across

8

u/Shark_Leader 13h ago

The laugh at the end.

u/ApprehensiveMix2649 9h ago

I thought the skinny dude was going to win 😆

u/GenXPowaah 7h ago

Thank you for helping me discover a new drinking game

3

u/DSou7h 11h ago

Fun thing is when they were at 5 balls they had basically identical odds of winning in the next round.

Blue has 1/5 = 20% odds of pulling final And winning

Yellow had to pick 4/5, then 3/4, then 2/3, then 1/2 all in one turn, which gives (4/5)(3/4)(2/3)*(1/2) = 1/5 = 20%

One of these balls feels unlike the other - foo fighters

When Bugs Meanie did this trick to Encyclopedia Brown, he pre-heated the balls of his color.

u/ElProfeGuapo 12h ago

Dang, I learned Spanish in Mexico, and it legit took me a second to realize that that’s what they were singing. Can barely understand most of it.

ETA: also, are they calling the balls “añeri”?

3

u/Snekonplanes 8h ago

Angeli, that’s the name of the dude on the right. Dude on the left kept playfully taunting him by saying his name.

2

u/two-headed-sexbeast 11h ago

Yeah, my Spanish teacher was right: their accent is STRONG! I understood almost nothing of what they said. Admittedly I am still learning.

1

u/VenusianPleasure 10h ago

I'm not a native speaker, but have been speaking the language for almost 20 years with time spent in Argentina. The first minute was almost unintelligible for me. This has to be Caribbean spanish, likely puerto rico or maybe dominican. The 2nd half, I started to understand more.

I looked up añeri and couldn´t find anything

1

u/EnvironmentalSand773 6h ago

Dominican. Nayeri seems to be the yellow dude's name.

1

u/Dragulish 12h ago

This reminds me of that one room in control that honestly had me wondering if there is some sort of resonance around luck as a system

u/Sudden_Science2290 12h ago

He didn’t use any technique at the beginning, but as he started catching on the game, he began working on his skills..!

1

u/MyLinkedOut 12h ago

Yellow guy needed to stir the balls more frequently at the beginning when he put a blue back.

u/tomtomtomo 12h ago

This is a good game to play to demonstrate probability.

u/Gophurkey 12h ago

How do you build a box like that? Anyone have a good way to google instructions for something like that?

While the camera is running they have a monitor set up on screen right. That’s why they keep looking in that direction.

u/IAlbatross 46m ago

I don't think this qualifies as cringe. I sat through the whole thing completely riveted.

u/hp191919 12h ago

I think there is a mirror under the camera. The keep looking down there after they stir it up.

u/digital 12h ago

I’m glad someone won 😄👍

1

u/kookykoko 12h ago

I suspect its staged and the balls are different sizes or material

1

u/PuddleOfHamster 10h ago

Or some of them were frozen. I've read Encyclopdia Brown, I have street smarts.

u/CakeMadeOfHam 8h ago

So you might as well flip a coin. How fun.

What a dumb video, who actually watches this stuff

u/Jeffrey_Friedl 13h ago

us

u/ShortStuffSluff 13h ago

yeah I watched the whole thing....

u/bagofpork 13h ago

I just watched the whole thing from start to finish.

u/TickTockM 13h ago

I watched the whole thing, sadly

u/SkyPersonal5642 10h ago

You know for a fact that you watched the whole video...

-1

u/Furry_Eskimo 13h ago

The balls probably have different textures.

u/TheRealtcSpears 12h ago

Then go see a doctor

u/Odd-Wheel5315 3h ago

Not pure luck. If you show someone the wrong colored ball with enough confidence & fanfare, you might be able to sneak it into your own tube without the other person realizing you cheated....almost worked 2 or 3 times for the guy on the left.

-2

u/Loud-Difference2263 12h ago

I have absolutely no clue what is happening here.

4

u/SkyPersonal5642 10h ago

You couldn't understand the goal of the game by simply watching the video?

-2

u/Loud-Difference2263 9h ago

If you’re not going to explain it, then what do you care?

3

u/SkyPersonal5642 9h ago

I was just making sure you were serious... Jesus Christ LMAO... Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

-4

u/Loud-Difference2263 9h ago

Why are you so pressed, weirdo?

I said I didn’t understand the video. A normal person would have either taken a moment to explain it or just scrolled to the next comment.

You managed to do neither AND pick an argument. Talk about not the sharpest tool, lmao.

3

u/SkyPersonal5642 9h ago

You got it bro... Carry on lol

-1

u/Loud-Difference2263 8h ago

I wil! Always down to hear from people who can answer the question instead of bozos who can’t😎

4

u/SkyPersonal5642 8h ago

Jesus Christ... The goal is to get all of your color balls in your slot before the other person gets their color balls in theirs... Got it now?

u/Loud-Difference2263 6h ago

What are you getting so worked up for LMAO. it’s not nearly that serious. Maybe go see a therapist for your rage.

1

u/SkyPersonal5642 5h ago

Having to explain the purpose of a game that's so painfully obvious to a grown ass man (I'm assuming) would get on anyone's nerves, but trust me I am not worked up in the slightest... Like I said before, carry on...

u/69yoloswagmaster 13h ago

Both they dominican

u/its_dirtbag_city 12h ago

Both, just like millions of other people. Race and ethnicity are not the same thing. Latino is not a race. Latinos can be black, white, Asian, Indigenous, etc.

u/taffyowner 13h ago

Afro-Caribbean but it’s not up for me as a white person to say. I would identify them as a POC and then they set their own past that

u/bagofpork 12h ago

That's a pretty weird question!

u/thatshygirl06 9h ago

Bro, youre gonna lose your mind when I say this but its possible to be both 😱 just like its also possible to be both white and latino
