Sometimes it's better to go against the odds?

By definition that's not true, unless you are trying to lose. But I'll leave you to your unorthodox strategies.

And yes, it's an exact probability model. All you need to execute it is a random number generator like a die yourself, and it will be accurate.

Of course it doesn't predict the future, because it's probability.
