I suppose English Harbour has three options -

1.) Ignore it, and pretend nothing happened.

2.) Claim it was a software error.

3.) Claim the results here are bogus, and their games have always been fair.
#3 was the worst option, in my opinion. They probly should have gone with #1.

It's important that the frequency distribution of the cards in an adequate sample set are evenly distributed for each position in the doubling game.
I can't make any sense out of this.

It sounds like they're trying to imply the results could be the due to poor picking. ??? If so, they don't understand probability.

Either that, or they're just stringing together mathematical-sounding phrases, in the hope that it'll lull or intimidate the reader.
