This only prints when the user enters 'q', not when the below for loop ends.

Now, after the loop, print the win statistics since they will only
print once the loop exits. If you do that, and the user hits q, the
stats will print twice. I would change your for loop to:
while 1:
 ... #your code
 if humanSelection=='q': break
printStats() #print win/loss numbers, you must make that function if you want

This way, the player can go as many times as they want, even over
1000, and the stats will always print.
