Mines is a mystery to me. At first, I won about 10 dollars by placing multiple 0.50 bets with 5+ mines. I thought I had it all figured out, following a strict pattern when selecting boxes and avoiding picking more than 4 boxes in a row. Yet, the next day, when I decided to play with those same 10 dollars, I lost it all, even when I decreased the amounts of mines to 3 and avoided clicking more than 2 boxes in a row. Now, I am playing with 0 dollar bets and it seems that the luck I had the first time I played mines was nowhere to be found, because I kept on picking the mines. Has this happened to anyone else?
