1 in 400 million?
Many people say the big jackpot games Powerball and Mega Millions are due for a matrix change. The last time the operators of these games changed the matrices, the jackpot odds went up to their current state of about 1 in 300 million for each game (give or take some millions). Idea 1: What if the group that runs either lottery wanted to make a new matrix resulting in 1 in 400 million jackpot odds. What matrices would give those odds? I ran a script to generate some possibilities getting a

Craps Pass Line With Odds Bet - Casino AdvantageReply
Yes, the odds bet, sometimes called free odds , is universally paid according to the true probabilities, without house advantage. However, before making this bet, you must make the Pass Line bet first, and that has a 1.414% house advantage. The casinos vary in how much you can bet on the odds as a multiplier of the original Pass Line bet. For example, a casino that offers 10x Odds on a $10 Pass Line bet will let you bet up to $100 on the odds bet. As an example of how odds or free odds func

Craps Pass Line With Odds Bet - Casino AdvantageReply
I believe the majority of people playing this game (would it be ungracious to call them chumps?) make one or more of the many other possible bets that have a much greater casino advantage (some even 10%). They might as well be playing the lottery I presume that's why the casinos continue to offer the game. A whale (big-money gambler) coming up to a table betting $10,000 at a time on a Pass Line then taking 100x odds bets ($1M) would be a risky proposition for a casino. In case you're interes

Craps Pass Line With Odds Bet - Casino Advantage
For those with an interest in Craps, a dice game that is available in just about any casino with table games, I have worked out a simple formula for % casino advantage for the Pass Line bet (which is probably one of the most common bet in Craps) coupled with a side odds bet. Briefly, the initial Pass Line bet has a casino advantage of about 1.414%, but in most casinos an additional (side) odds bet (after the Pass Line bet) can be made, and the odds bet is paid at true odds (no additional casino

Craps Pass Line With Odds Bet - Casino AdvantageReply
there are no systems that will increase player odds If you have $10 on the pass line and the point is 5, the odds remain the same until the settlement is made; you'll either win or lose $10. Players can increase their payoff odds by taking free odds because the house has no advantage on that extra bet. Lots of Craps systems are based oh hot or cold tables which in reality is making conditional bets on either. If you guess right, you'll make a profit, if you guess wrong back to the ATM.

Arithmetic Complexity in Texas All or NothingReply
There is a miscalculation in the odds to win. Based on a play line-by-play line basis, there are two opportunities to win a prize. For example, to win the top prize of $250,000, in one play line there are two opportunities to win $250,000, either match 0 or 12. This changes the odds from 1 : 2,704,155.00 individually to 1 : 1,352,077.00 overall to win the top prize of $250,000. Likewise, all the other prize amount odds are different as shown below. Here's a break down of the
