That's not what those numbers mean. It's the likelihood we should have seen them by now given the chance of each individual rolls combined. It's calculated from the negative binomial distribution given the probability of getting a super yahtzee or any yahtzee and the number of posts. It's definitely not saying the next roll will have a 56.6% chance of being any yahtzee.
Haha, you're welcome Zorg! And yeah that's what I meant Emmber, that's the gambler's fallacy. Similar to flipping a coin twenty times and it landing on heads 10 times halfway through, then thinking the next one must surely be tails to even the odds despite the chance remaining 50/50
Yea - see a lot of people say "only x times more to go". It's pretty funny. It's quite possible we'll never get a super yahtzee. I don't know about that Zorg. I just like maths.
Well you've got an 18 in 46,656 (1 in 2,592) chance of getting onto my signature. ; ) 1 each for a Yahtzee (6) - 6 for matching a 35 - 6 for matching a 7.

Curse you @Mat_Yuren. This is your fault I'm here.
I went to a zoo that only had one animal. A dog. It was a shih tzu.

Yeah, I said that earlier. :) But if I thought we needed 40000 rolls to get the result I wouldn't bother rolling at n=15000
