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

Odds of winning.Reply
This is a pretty good explanation of odds and probabilities, from Wikipedia: The odds in favor of an event or a proposition is the ratio of the probability that the event will happen to the probability that the event will not happen. For example, the odds that a randomly chosen day of the week is a Sunday are one to six, which is sometimes written 1 : 6. 'Odds' are an expression of relative probabilities. Often 'odds' are quoted as odds against, rather than as odds in favor. For example, t

Are player odds and "overall odds" the same??
Lets face it. The reason the states calls it overall odds is because they know that intangible forces play a big role in the ACTUAL ODDS that a person will experience in the real life situation of playing the lottery. RIGHT?

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

Idaho Lottery - largest payout for least invested?Reply
The odds against winning $100 in PB is 13,644 to 1 and that's by matching 3 numbers plus the bonus ball. If you're trying to match 4 numbers to win $100 it's 19,030 to 1 odds. To win $300, you'll need an 3 of those hits. I'm not sure if there is a game with worse odds than PB. The odds against winning $300 in most pick-3 games is 999 to 1 playing a 50 cent straight/box ticket. As for scratch-offs and pull tabs, check the state lottery website and see the odds against winning $300. Most $1 scr

I need help with odds calculationsReply
Right, but just making the point that filtering out the 50s and previous draws or other numbers doesn't change the odds at all. Combine the odds of your conditions occurring with the odds of being right within your remaining numbers and you are back to the same odds you started with. Its more a mind thing than anything else. Taken to the extreme, if I filter out everything but one remaining combination of numbers, I have increased my odds of winning to 100% if my conditions have been met. Sti

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
I pasted the correctly calculated odds above. The odds are posted on the Texas Lottery website and only you know why it was necessary to calculate and show them here. Jackpots are paid for the extremes, so there are 2 jackpots. If there really are two jackpots, someone is ignoring the fact one ticket can only win one jackpot and believe it or not none of the other prizes with two chances to win can't win twice either. The odds are correct on the website (1 in 2,704,156) because once
