General statistics/probability question and some questions about alpha research. The firm hasn't made money in two years, but expanding rapidly(there is something wrong there). Firm management predates American Revolution and seemed clueless how to hire. After the process was finished, I came out with a bad taste in my mouth . Stay away they won't be around for too long.

Given deck of cards A and deck of cards B, which deck would you rather choose from if you need to choose two cards of the same color on consecutive draws? Deck A is a normal 52 card deck, Deck B is a 26 card deck with 50% black and 50% red. What if we add deck C, which is a 26 card deck that comes from a random subset of deck A?
