Ishaan Ranade

Ishaan writes the pages about the rounds themselves on kwggame.app. His job is to take a rules screen — payouts, fees, period lengths — and turn it into one plain number a player can keep in mind: what comes back, on average, for every ₹100 put on a given bet.

Method: four lines of arithmetic

Every figure on his pages is worked through on paper before it is written down. For Win Go that means four lines: the share of digits that win, the payout, the 2% fee, and the result per ₹100. When a lobby's rules screen shows a different multiplier, he redoes the line with the new figure rather than rounding the old one, and he says plainly when a game's table varies from lobby to lobby so the reader knows to check.

He avoids the words that sell rounds — "trick", "sure", "pattern" — because none of them survives the arithmetic. If a page of his makes a bet look attractive, it is because the numbers say it is the cheaper one, not because it might win.

Why the price of a bet

Most of what people find about colour games is video, and most of that video is about winning. The question that actually decides a player's month — how much each kind of bet costs — rarely gets asked. Ishaan's pages exist to ask it and answer it in a form you can check with a phone calculator in a minute.
