Pick or Skip: Blur

Players take Blur in 31.9% of the 2331 offers it appears in; those runs win 28.9% against 29.8% for runs that passed, a pick lift of -0.9% over 679 decided runs.

Taken 744 times out of 2331 offers.

Pick rate when offered counts offers, not runs: out of every time the game put this in front of a player, how often it was taken. It is not the same number as the share of runs that end up containing it.

Pick lift is the sample-adjusted gap between runs that took the option and runs that passed on it. It is the fair way to rank choices, because raw win rates put the smallest samples on top.
