By allegation method I got 1:1 but I dont know how to interpret this answer i.e. 1:1 as 25 games.
If you get 1:1 this means that the number is same, and thus, he must play same number of games. 40 80 60 20 20 Which is 1:1. If he has won 40% of his 25 games, he must play another 25 games, during which he wins 80%. To confirm this, 40% of 25 = 10 and when he plays another 25 games, he won 80% of times, hence he won 20 games. Thus, out of 50 games, he won 30 games.

The number of games out of which he won 40% games' is equal to 'the number of games out of which he must win 80% of the games'. He won 40% of the games out of 25 games. So he must win 80% of the games out of another 25 games. it is a mathematical problem, which is not so hard to solve, there are a lot of different tactics on the internet. You can try them on different casinos if you don't know which casino, look up for one on africacasinos.co.za/, they have pretty safe casino websites.

Farina At first, he won 10 out of 25 games (40%). To reach 60% total wins, he needs to raise his average: after playing x more games (where he wins 80%), the total number of wins should be 60% of all games played. After calculating, it turns out he needs to add 25 games to raise the overall percentage to 60%. In order to bet safely, you are recommended to utilize the mobile version of the website, it is astonishingly simple and convenient to utilize. The 1xbet download process was simple and I was able to install the application with ease without any complications. I like the fact that the mobile application offers almost the same features as the desktop version. Overall, it was a delightful experience.
