Can anyone figure out the strategy of how to play with roughly 66% probability of winning on each bet? It can be done in two games of my choice. One bet has a 16% chance of losing the other has roughly 35% chance of losing. Risk, however, is not 1 to 1.

Hell, that's easy. Just fade my picks in the WoV picks game. You must have seen my W/L record.

Correct with option 3... play any 2 of the 3 blocks (1st 12, 2nd 12, 3rd 12) . As far as option 2 goes, you dont have a 66% chance of winning on every roll.. laying 2 to 1 with probability of 50% over a series of rolls until either hits.
