🎯 Core result
- Chance of winning a single game:
\[
\frac{1}{201} \approx 0.497\%
\]
- Chance of not winning a single game:
\[
1 - \frac{1}{201} = \frac{200}{201}
\]
- Chance of not winning across 10 games:
\[
\left(\frac{200}{201}\right)^{10} \approx 95.2\%
\]
- Chance of winning at least one game:
\[
1 - 0.952 \approx 0.048 = 4.8\%
\]

📌 What this means in practice
- In a hall with 201 players, the odds are stacked simply because the pool is large.
- Over 10 games, you’re still fighting the same ratio each time, so the cumulative chance only rises to about 1 in 20.
