Ladder game probability: why one result cannot reveal a pattern
One draw or route result describes that round; it does not prove a fixed preference for the next one.

Read the path
Probability claims need a sample size, generation method, and a statement about independence. Small records can look streaky by chance.
A rung swaps only two neighboring paths. Start at the top, follow each segment, and do not treat a crossing as a free jump.
Keep it clear
Use “likelihood under these rules” rather than turning a history into a guaranteed prediction.
