Not sure if he was serious(even if he was I don't think he'd admit so), I'm however not really suprised, I've seen far more stupid comments on this forum by other people LOL

Maybe he was drunk when he wrote that :X Anyhow, he's still new to the game... this might be the reason behind his post.

Rather than give you as belittling response, I will educate you in some statistical concepts.
number of outcomes = 2
A quantified chance of desired outcome is not the same as dividing 100 by the number of possible outcomes. Quantified chance is a weighting applied to each outcome that determines the possibility of that outcome to appear. Each outcome in a FAIR game of chance has the same weight - which would indeed be 100 / the number of outcomes. However in a game such as this that weighting is far higher on the losing outcome making the chance of a winning outcome far less likely.
An example of this is a lottery having 2 possibilities - "Win Jackpot" or "No Win" :
Now using the 100/2 rules is it likely that the numbers 7, 12, 13, 38, 40, 47 will have a 50/50 chance of winning the jackpot? That is like saying you have a 50/50 chance of being struck by lightning on a sunny day while riding a subway.
Do you see the difference between number of possible outcomes and the odds of getting the desired outcome? They are far from the same.
