So, you're telling me that if I can draw literally the perfect hand, when that's 3 one ofs, then I can just insta win...

NETRUNNER IS DOOMED!!!!!!! SO BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though, it's kind of scary that's possible.

That's so evil XD
Anyone want to calculate the Odds on this one?

20 Jun 2016 Lunila

The odds are 0% because that's a 7 card combo ;)

20 Jun 2016 Shmeguy

NEH

20 Jun 2016 Shmeguy

but yes very close to 0%

I just realized I missed that, good point! Sorry about that.

The odds of pulling off this combo can be computed as (7!-6!-6!)x2x3x1x3x1x2x1/(49x48x47x46x44x43x42).

This works out to be exactly 405/1,352,934,198, or 0.00003%.

At fair odds, a $1 bet placed on this outcome should pay out $3.34 million dollars if it happened.

I'll bet on that for a dollar.

However, it is impossible to do this turn one unlike the descrpition says. You don't have enough cards

20 Jun 2016 hutch9514

and the odds of getting the draw are so low, its not worth it lol

20 Jun 2016 Shmeguy

Lol. The point of being NEH is so that you have 7 cards turn 1

20 Jun 2016 ryanbantwins

Why play 49 cards. 45 cards NEH is more consistent for this deck.

20 Jun 2016 Shmeguy

Good point, should be 45

if they were all 3 ofs it would be 1 in 39,278 chance. As it is I make it 1 in 2,386,127. 1 in 49 choose 7 divided by repetitions for the repeated cards. (If they were all 1 ofs it would be about 1 in 86,000,000). Still if you dont constrain on it being turn 1 and get around a card or two odds start to get a lot better.

Yeah, there are also some other conditions such as IHW and Andromeda, and also Breaking News and Lateral Growth need to be in your 5 card opening hand + mandatory draw and can't be the NEH draw because you need them click 1 :P
