Conditional statement produces unwanted action in Android App

I have the following code for the user to pick a winner between four options. The variables p1, p2, p3 and p4 are determined by a compare method prior to being used here (the value is always between -3 and 3, 3 being a winner). The problem I'm having is that sometimes, and only sometimes a WINNING evaluation returns the toast for a TIE. I've include the variables in the toast message, only to make sure the correct value is being passed. All values are correct. So I'm at a loss. Can anyone give me any ideas why this might be happening? It seemed to be only happening when one player evaluated to 3, and another to -3. So I 'artificially' inflated all variables by 3, so that same scenario would then return a 6 and a 3. But the problem persists. The only thing I can think of is it may be a buffering, or cache issue. But all the variables are re-initialized to 0 on each pass by an onClick action. Please help. Thank you.

    public void EvaluatePlayer1(View view) {
    if(p1>=p2 && p1>=p3 && p1>=p4){
        if(p1 == p2 || p1 == p3 || p1 == p4){
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), p1 + " It's a tie.",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }else{
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), p1 + " You chose the winner!",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
    }else{

        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), p1 + "You chose a loser!",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

    } }
