so in infinity wars when Dr.strange gives the stone to thanks in order to save tony, he hints that it was the only way. But what if the snap had killed Tony? Did Dr.strange bet the fate of the planet on a 50/50 chance? and how did he know it's this certain outcome before he knew who exactly disappeared?

He looked into the future before he made that choice.

yea, but he had no control over who dies and who doesn't, so it was just a gamble

Well I imagine if he was looking into the future then the people have died and knows who survives.

It's Dr. Strange. He can do it over and over and over and over....etc. Until he eventually finds the one he wants.

It's hinted that Thanos has some ability to control who gets snapped. Some.
That's why Dr. Strange goes all out with the magic when fighting Thanos. To make himself seem like a bigger threat to Thanos' plan than Tony.

But Thanos didn't count on Captain Marvel.

He knew the snap wouldn't take Tony .

It couldn't. Dr. Strange didn't select a reality where Tony was snapped.

Thanos does have control over who get's removed and who stays. He specifically promised Tony that half of humanity would survive, implying that whole species could just get wiped out. Thanos also promised Strange that he wouldn't kill Tony if he gave him the stone. It would be kinda shitty if Thanos spared Tony, only to kill him in the resulting snap.

In a huge number of realities Thanos would kill both Tony and Strange and laugh about it as he went to dinner. But, I know, in order to have a future movie we have to assume that Thanos abides by his promises. Because all Marvel villains abide by their promises.

Comic Thanos, or the MCU Thanos?

I have another Question...
Did Gamoras people go through another massacre?? So their population essentially became One-fourth??
So the snap was unfair for the species Thanos already attacked!!

Yeah tarot he did promise
@coldpasta it's been several years since he did the first one. Also, how long does Gamora's people live? A long time? What's their birth rate?
He also did that to several other races

Groot was the last of his kind

Technically its never stated in MCU that groot is the last of the flora colossus. In the comics there are many of that species and groot isn't unique and there hasn't been anything in any of the movies to contradict this.

At least the directors stated that Howard the duck survived the snap

@coldpasta not only that, but the Asgardians got wiped in half in both the beginning and end of the movie

Strange looked into the future to make the choices that gave the best chance for life. The Supercarlinbrothers made a video in it which explains it all @internet https://youtu.be/woiBsYv1qDs
