Never challenge and never stake money in a ''Shell game''.

A friend in real tested me this shell game without money (for fun) :D

He used only 4 aces from a card deck and placed them facedown in a table.
He told me to quickly choose 2 cards to find ''two same colors'' (black or red) to win.

I got ace of heart and ace of clubs (different colors) and lost.

After a few rounds I finally got two same colors...

The secrets here about this game is that the game hoster is tricking the victim about 50% chance to win but it is not.

First:

You pick a card and get a black ace.
Here is the chance of 50% to get a black ace or a red ace from first pick.
3 cards remain in the table.

Second:

You need another black ace to win but there is 2 other red aces facedown!
So the chance here is 33% to get the second black ace to win.

End of this real tested shell game from me and my friend :P :P :P
I'm gaÿ.
