Chance Cards: A Quick Gambler's Guide

[J. M. Pescado]

It is commonly believed that chance cards depend on your sim's skills, your sim's mood, or your sim's aspiration. It doesn't work that way. Chance cards are purely random, with each card having an odds bias, where option A has the chance of succeeding that percentage of the time, and option B succeeds the other percent of the time, minus 1%, due to the way the odds work. For instance, an odds-85 card has an 85% chance of winning if you choose A, 14% chance of winning if you choose B, and 1% chance you are a big fat loser no matter what you pick. Chance cards for career levels > L6 pay out in thousands, meaning that no chance card > L6 will deal in quantities of money < 1K, and chance cards of <= L6 tend to pay out crap. Here are the odds tables for various careers, and the key words you should remember for them!

SLACKER KEYWORDS
"WHATEVER", "ON BREAK", "DUCT TAPE", "BUNNY RABBITS", "REVEAL ALL".

SCIENCE KEYWORDS
"BLUE", "LET WIKI", "TANGIBLE", "GREEN"

POLITICS KEYWORDS
"HIDE"

MILITARY KEYWORDS
"OCEAN", "VAPORIZE"

MEDICAL KEYWORDS
"TURN AWAY". Even this one barely works, but the alternative is worse. Medical has some of the worst chance cards in the game. The following keywords are things you should NOT choose:
"ATTEND MEETING", "FINISH QUICKLY", "HAND OFF", "MEET INTERN"

LAW ENFORCEMENT KEYWORDS
"GIANT ROBOT"

CULINARY KEYWORDS
"EASTERN EATS", "AIRPORTS".
Culinary's chance cards are pretty unexceptional: the lucrative ones are unlikely, and the penalties tend to be pretty steep, but the payouts are modest and generally run with the odds.

CRIMINAL KEYWORDS
Crime doesn't pay in TS2, and it shows: The final hours suck, and none of the cards are exceptionally good. The final card is  55K vs. 20K for "CAPTURE", against 60K vs. 30K for "DOOMSDAY". It's nearly 50/50, so play or avoid at your leisure. Still, they're better than Medical's.

BUSINESS KEYWORDS
"TRUCKS"
Business pretty much runs with the odds, the payouts being neither exceptional or the penalties steep.

ATHLETICS KEYWORDS
"MAKE SPEECH"
All other athlete cards are crappy, offering lousy results, low-paying results most of the time. The job itself pays pretty well. The final card is marginal, offering "SMILE PRETTY" 50K/-50K vs. "MAKE SPEECH" 40K/Fired.

UNI CAREER KEYWORDS
"PAY BILL".
You're pretty much never gonna see a chance card in the Uni-added careers unless you use Harder Jobs, because you start at level 8 or 9 and the top level tends not to have a chance card at all, except Art. The cards all suck, except Art.

ADVENTURER KEYWORDS
"STARBOARD", "DISMANTLE WIRING", "CONDESCENSION", "CAPTURE"

EDUMACATION KEYWORDS
"BULLHORNS", "FROSTBITE", "RABBIT"

Yeah!!! Yeah!! Yeah!! Yeah!! I am so excited that you got your site up and running and so grateful to find all the information I referred to so frequently here as well.  Thank you for letting us all know where to find you

[Alvaron]

Yo, miscreant! You blew it on the Level 9 chance card for NatSci.

Keyword is AMBER and payout is 50 large. Couple that with 31k for 7 hrs off the promo bonus and this career kicks butt.

[dawnkeeper]

This is for sure "more awesome than you".

I heard about these chance cards on the last site. By that time though all the stuff was on the move and I missed it. I always guess at my chance cards. But this guide will help me make more educated decisions on the randomness.

Thanks for posting this!

85% chance of winning if you choose A, 14% chance of winning if you choose B, and 1% chance you are a big fat loser no matter what you pick...

I follow the guide and realize no matter what I choose, my sim will either gain a skill they probably already have, or be fired. I am a big fat loser no matter what I choose..

[striker]

I used JMP's table and created this list.

I will list them from job level 1 to 10. 

The keywords will take the highest odds of working(84-85%), or if 50/50 odds, will take the outcome that is least damaging(loss of money before loss of skillpoints before demotion before loss of job). 

***--Keywords in which the choice has good odds(84-85%) but in which the bad outcome is "Fired" will have ***'s around them to warn you of a "possible" loss of job.
#----Keywords in which the chance is 50/50 will have #'s in front of them.

* dizzy-two prints...

Nice. Very handy. 

[Baddmark]

Not sure about RUN in the politics career. I used it twice and had a bad result both times. HIDE (as in Pescado's list) is probably the right one.

[J. M. Pescado]

Another factor you've neglected that is important is the actual value of the payout.

If the payout sucks, there's no point in taking ANY risk! Case and point: The Medical option. The last card is 50/50 Meet vs. Send Away. Striker has chosen "Meet" the best choice....but you're wagering the loss of 50K vs. the gain of 3 cooking. This is a lousy wager! 50K is a sizeable chunk of money which, removed at the wrong time, could bankrupt your family and result in the disruption of hired services. 3 cooking is useless! You probably already even have it!

Striker's evaluation is thus incomplete: He doesn't consider also the award as opposed to the penalty, and when this may occur. It's also worth noting that at low levels of a career track, the money received is relatively meager when compared to the daily paycheck. Therefore, taking the money is not necessarily worth the risk of loss of skillpoints or job. He also favors losing skillpoints over demotion, which is flawed: Demotion is relatively harmless in most cases and actually pays better, whereas loss of a skillpoint can be very time-consuming to repair if you had very high skill. Take the demotion over the loss of a skillpoint...especially if you have permanent platinum on your side and are all but guaranteed a daily promotion anyway, or can trivially platinum a sim before work.

[Oddysey]

Game theory. Basic game theory. Basically, the value of option A is the average value you'll get when you select it. If it's a 50% option, then it's a standard average between the failure value and the success value. If it's 85% option, it's whichever is 85% likely times .85 plus whichever is 15% times .15. I'm pretty sure I had a document somewhere with everything calculated out . . . hmm. I'll see if I can put one togethor again, combining JMP's data with the payout of the cards, and post the results here.

[Meek_Monkey]

I would also like to see the chance cards for the careers added by uni as well, I have heard that there is not many of them.

[striker]

JMP is correct in that area.  The list was created based solely on the odds and doesn't really take into account gain/loss if it's not 50/50.  He's also correct that the demotion is probably the least damaging thing to happen.  I will take that into account and see how many keywords it would change the next time I look at it.

Looking back at it, "Meet" for medical 10 is not the best choice.  It's a 50/50 card but if you did do it, "Send Away" would be better.  You would probably already have 3 cooking for Medical.

The only way you are guarenteed not to lose anything is to ignore every chance card.  Otherwise, it's a gamble either way.  I have all the information in an excel sheet for the base careers.  If you want, I could let people have the excel sheet and then they could know exactly what the risk vs reward is.

There are 5 chance cards for each Uni career but I was not sure of the accuracy of the list I saw so I did not include them.

Suggestion:  always ignore a chance card before promotion, even if you are sure you know the consequences - because there is a great chance to get yourself fired....

I ignore them all the time.... Don't want the honey, and don't want the sting....

[jewels]

Wow Great summation and very simple to read. This will be very handy. Thanks!

[cwykes]

I am illuminated!  Thank you.

Do you mind if I link people here?   I can repost and give you credit instead if you don't want another influx of people.

[Oddysey]

Generally, I find that giving people the front page link (www.moreawesomethanyou.com) and directions to the data in question (Forum: The War Room, "Chance Cards: A Quick Gambler's Guide") is the most effective way to get people to this site while still weeding out those with no sense of humour and ability to understand directions.

[cwykes]

um - how do you get from the front page to the forum if you don't already have a login?  there's no "register" on the front page - deliberately I thought.  Getting ready to feel stupid for failing to follow directions....

[Oddysey]

When in panic, or in doubt,
Run in circles, scream and shout

Press all the buttons. That page is a joke. (Shh! It's a secret!)

Striker, what a great spreadsheet! 

Could you clarify what it means when you say "+2 Body & Char"?  Does the +2 apply to both Body and Charisma, or is the Charisma just +1?  There are a few entries like this.

Thanks,
Vicki

Decided to finish Striker's guide, using Pescado's info from the first post. Used the same notation as Stryker's post, above. J.M.'s right. A lot of the new high-level cards are pretty bad.
