Forgot,

Is it better to leave the package play %s at 100?

Or do I do split the % evenly among the plays.

I also saw somewhere that ppl get better results when they don't evenly split it, example:
23% 27% 24% 26% (4 plays)

Whatever is best, pls
thx

i usually do something like this.

It will automatically adjust all package %'s to even out at 100. If you have 10 plays all set to 100% than it will make each play 10% after the adjustment.

I know....

Pls read OP again.

Its just a matter of preferences man. There is no "1 answer" best fits all cases. If I have 10 plays than I will make each 10% with auto adjust set to quickly. If I have 5 plays I will make each one at 20% with auto adjust to medium. Just gotta experiment man.

so you like

gotcha

I prefer to evenly split it, and in addition I make sure all the percentages add up to 100%.

Bort and Catch claim that you can just leave every package at 100% each and the sim will automatically adjust everything so that they all add up to 100%. But in my experience, that causes funky things to happen if you do this while also using Auto-Adjust. They claim it shouldn't make a difference either way, but it wouldn't be the first time they think their sim works one way when it actually works some other way simply because they overlooked something in their own code.

So, my advice is to evenly split everything, and make sure all the percentages add up to 100%. Takes, what, 20 seconds to do if you have a calculator? And that way you know the sim will do what you want it to do.

I run them at 50%. If I am more certain of a certain play, I run it at 100 and the rest at 50.

As for your question, Jampy, it does not matter. You are creating funky math for no reason. The above would end up being essentially a small favoring of the 27% over the others.

If that play was successful on very high auto, it would adjust it to be 32% and the rest would take a 1.33% reduction. For very high auto, it adds the 5% to the very successful play and subtracts it from the others evenly. It is not subtracting from what you indicate (i.e all set to 100, thus making 105%). It is subtracting from the adjusted total (i.e. 10 plays at 100 percent, adjusted to 10% each, successful play adding 5% to the 10% to make 15%, and subtracting 5% divided by 9 from the others).

If you start using weird stuff like 7 plays all set to 17% or whatever, you end up doing a bunch of math to conclude that play x should run 22.79867 percent at the start of the game. I prefer the simple math of 25/50/100.

Keep in mind that once it adjusts, it does not re-sum everything. It is auto adjusting off the initial division into 100, but the subsequent changes. If one play gets spammed on high auto, it just calls it more and more and more.

I can re-quote myself too, Jampy.

interesting.

Never heard of using 25/50/100 before

Your making things way harder than they need to be Jampy.

No im not.

there are different ways to do it, I just want to find out who does what way.
