Really depends, If I have racked up and won a car or something else big, I probably go ahead a spin again......hell, I've already won.

If I haven't won anything, I probably stick with the .70.

If I'm going first, yes. 70 usually isn't good enough to win. If I'm going 2nd and the first person is lower then probably not.

Spinning again increases your odds of losing.

At .70, there is one possibility of out right win (.30) and five that won't bust you. There are 14 spins that will bust you.

6/20 that you improve your position

14/20 that you do not. 70% of the time you will bust.

Everytime I've seen it. 70 isn't good enough. So if I'm first I'm spinning again.

There's also 6/20 chance that the person behind me spins better than a 70 and a 6/20 chance that the final person spins better than a 70. Don't sound like good odds for me.

It's a tough position to be in because the other person will spin twice if they come up short. Lots of combos could come up to trump you. However, you can't win if you bust and odds are you go over.

Take the best chance to win.

Well if the odds are good that somebody will trump you then what's the point in staying? The goal is to win the game. And you probably won't win at 70.

Better to have a chance than likely no chance at all.

Are there stats available to illustrate what numbers win? It's a different game to consider if 70 success considerably less than 50% of the time.

Good theory, but if you've already won something big, chances are you're not spinning first. The first spinners are always the ones that won the least.

No way I spin again if I'm the first to the wheel and spin a .70.

The only stat I know of is 100% of the time when Weagle25 is watching, 70 or below loses.

Just have to play the odds.

Let's say 70 only wins 35% of the time. It's still better than the 30% chance of not losing outright on the second spin. A 30% chance of simply improving your odds.

Wouldn't spin again. If for no other reason then it'll force the people behind to likely take additional spins and overspin.
