Hi all,
I am learning C# at uni, first year and we are required to make a shell game for our first assignment. I'm not looking for someone to help me complete the whole assignment, but rather just to help me with a little problem I have. When i run this program I expect the appropriate calculations from the if statements I have supplied, but instead ALL of the statements in ALL of the if statements are calculated and I dont know why. I checked and double checked curly braces etc. but nothing fixes this problem! Please feel free to check the code below and have a chuckle about my "beginnerness". Thank you.

P.S. to see what was going on with all the values I made another program that displays values as labels.Text. I will also include this code to make things a little bit easier to follow.

ok never mind guys,
after carefully examining my code and the text book, i finally found the problem. I was putting a ; after the if statement on that same line, thats what stuffed up my code :(. soo much for drumming into my head the need to put a ; at the end of every line.

solution for those who are interested

BAD IF STATEMENT
if (condition);
{
    method;
}

GOOD IF STATEMENT

if (condition) //"no ; here"
{
    method;
}
