Having trouble with these complicated sentences please?
Could you please help me correct these sentences?
- There is a bigger chance that he will get off at this stop than at that one.
- We got into a fight, but our relationship soon went back to the way it was.
- There has to be something in it for you for you to accept. He doesn't do anything for anyone if he's got nothing to gain by doing it.
- The train passes through these 4 stops without stopping. (is "Pass through" the correct phrase?)
- They engaged in activity which Full Tilt defined as "accessing or compiling information on other players beyond that which the user has personally observed through his or her own game play" (the underlined bit seems off?)
Thank you

"Beyond that which" is confusing. It should refer to "information," but "to observe information" is not a common collocation. As you read on, it begins to sound as if it refers to "other players," but that would require "those" instead of "that."
You "acquire" information.
