This is a fascinating breakdown. Quite a few people have covered this ground before, but I've rarely seen the raw statistics of the game explored in such depth.

This is a fascinating breakdown. Quite a few people have covered this ground before, but I've rarely seen the raw statistics of the game explored in such depth. (Most commentaries I've seen, for example, start and stop at the probabilities of landing on any given space, perhaps coupling those with the expected ROI of improvements on X or Y properties. But those are only some of the factors in play, and you do a nice job going beyond them). Apropos of nothing, there's a really entertaining documentary called "Under the Boardwalk" that sort of flew under the radar last year. It's about the history of the game, and the national championships (yes, apparently there are Monopoly players who take themselves as seriously as chess masters).
