    While I doubt he enjoys gambling, it would be interesting to see Yumeko take on Kitten in a game of Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker.

    Technically since it's gambling anyone should have a fifty-fifty chance of winning.

    Correct. If you play Yumeko *fair and square* anyone has a chance at beating her - which is exactly what she wants. Its only when people start to cheat then she cheats herself, and that person gets screwed.

    Yeah, Mat Cauthon is probably the best bet. Considering his very presence alters fate, chance, and reality. And that he is known as a prolific gambler, able to arm and supply essentially a small army with gambling alone.

    Mega LOL.

    Yes, Mat would be great, but honestly, Rand would maybe be better? He's much more ta'vareen than Mat. Like, Rand walking through a city means a kid falling from a high tower lands on his head and gets up and keeps playing, all by chance.

    As stated before, anyone holding Coinspinner is going to be hard to beat, unless Shieldbreaker is in the house.

    Of course, put cosmics in the thing and that gets pretty shunted - someone like Galactus would laugh at the luck powers of Domino or Coinspinner or Mat.

    Well, Mat is the gambler of the trio. And while Rand's ta'veren-ness can have that happen, it can also have the exact opposite kind of luck at the same time. So, yeah.

    Oh, no doubt. I watched enough to get that. And she also seems to get off on it as well...
    But Mat Cauthon is a guy where luck is literally a quantifiable force that works in his favor due to being a ta'veren (a chosen one by fate). So, no mechanical cheating, counting cards, weighted dice, etc. Guy turns pocket change into enough to pay and supply an entire small army (which grows quite quickly over the course of the series).

    Hoid (Cosmere) would be a possibly good opponent. He does all sorts of long term planning, gambling with stakes high and low, and generally thinks many, many steps ahead.

    He is also thousands of years old.
