I think this is your problem.   You rule is very strict which might
make it always correct,  but we are talking about random play-outs
which are far from correct anyway.    I think your rule is too strict
and making many results change from what they should be.    Your random
play-outs are basically moving into eyes that AnchorMan won't.   (Yes,
I know that it's occasionally wrong, but it's right much more than it's
wrong.)

I would suggest that you at least TRY the common rule most of us
use and see what happens.   For a simple test it doesn't have to be
fast, just correct.   Then you will know for sure whether that is
your problem or not.
