Given four different tiles, the proability of getting all triplets is around (3/80)(2/76) (3/72)(2/68) (3/64)(2/60) (3/56)(2/52) * 4C1 = 0.0000000016% 4. By Game Theory, your previous opponent will reserve your targeted pattern tiles to reduce your winning probabilty. This point easily attacks point 2. 5. By point 4, Mahjong is a game to encourage being a non...
