Gambling
Speak with Twinkbrix. He will ask you if you would like to gamble. You can bet between and 10,000 gil. He will roll 2 50 sided dice. They must land between 2 and X. Every 200 gil you bet raises X by 1 for a maximum of 50. Betting 10,000 gil means the dice must land between 2 and 50.
 * Ok. So based on my rather limited understanding of statistics, it is a rotten deal to give anything less than 10,000g.
 * If you give 5,000g for example, you need to roll between 2 and 25 - on each die. So you have a 50% change on each die.  Which is a 25% chancee to win.  But you bet 50%.
 * Another example: you give 1000g and need to roll between 2 and 10 on each die. This is ~20% chance on each die, which is a 4% chance of winning, for a 10% bet.
 * Best option is to bet the full 10k and have a 49/50 (98%) chance on each die, or a 96% chance of winning (for 100% bet).
 * Can anyone confirm? If this is correct I will put this somewhere in the regular Wiki text.
