From what I understand the game works as 50% chance to win with a proper house edge (I think 5% is still a lot) and not 1 in 3 chance. You do see three cards on the screen but you do not have 1 in 3 card chance, the game mechanics work as in you get %50 chance of winning (so you have 1.5 cards in 3 cards chance to make it clear) and whatever you choose is a flip toss so if what you select comes than you win and the graphics of the game is just for show, not for real results.

It is at least clears up the bad odds (which I still think is a high house edge but not as bad as we assumed) but it still requires a lot more explaining, many people believed there was a 1 in 3 chance to win on a 50% profit without you explaining it, so you have to make it clearer for everyone that plays.

But from the start, every game like this will never have 1/3 chance right because the odds as well and because of this make really huge house edge as well. But somehow people do like the challenge as well to think they double their coin easily on this kind of site. And btw about the Lightning, is it been stable already? Cause I heard there is still unbalance yet

Lightning is quite stable, I've been experimenting since last year and these days I almost never have a failed payment. And from thousands of my daily payments, maybe 1-2 fail. And there are nice wallets, bitcoin on-chain to lightning exchanges. And it's improving very fast as well.

It is stable of course from the first time I heard of that they are improving it really fast because like you said it is left on 2 fail but the problem is how about if on that 1-2 fail payment and it is a big money and it is gone without a trace? How are you going to fix that thing? You cant say that there is because the lightning blockchain is not stable yet right? This must be secure from simple things like that, many of them will not take this as a consideration right now

Some misunderstandings there.

1- Lightning Network is not a blockchain, it's a 2nd layer, payment channel network on top of Bitcoin's blockchain. Basically you lock up some bitcoins in a payment channel with another Lightning Node and bitcoins can go back & forth between you and partner node.

2- Payment failing in Lightning does not mean funds will be lost. If payment fails to route over the payment channels, then you will still have the bitcoins in your node. Your node will automatically try again and again until it finds a path to the target node.

3- Only potential cause for losing funds could be corrupt DB, disk failure that can not be recovered but you can manage those with backing up your Lightning folder. Or if you use mobile wallet, they already provide backups to Google Drive etc.
