[Squid Game] Question about a certain game. *Spoilers*

Why did the old man let the protagonist win the marble game?

If the old man had been forced to pick another partner, would the old man have also let the other person win?

a few reasons. the first is that he actually liked the protagonist and wanted him to win the most so he threw the game. the second is that the next few games would have been far too dangerous for the old man to play and he had to throw the game anyway since those next games would have killed him.
