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

10X odds are 1:43, not going to see it much with those odds.

JTP Odds
Greetings! I suggest you edit the odds information on Florida Lottery's Jackpot Triple Play game in the lottery results section. Florida Lottery apparently does not understand the difference between odds and probabilities. Since every JTP ticket has three lines, they have decided that the odds per ticket of hitting the jackpot is one-third of the actual odds. Lower tier prizes for this game are similarly calculated.

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

Considering the ChatGPT said chances and not odds, maybe I shouldn't mention the difference between how odds for and odds against are calculated.

Florida Fantasy-5 PlayersReply
BTW - a normal bias is a fifty fifty split between odds and evens. In the last 30 drawings there have been 150 balls/numbers drawn. A normal bias would be zero if 75 odds and 75 evens had been drawn. But right now we now have a bias of 11 more evens drawn than normal. (The current split is 64 odds vs 86 evens in the last 30 draws. 86 is plus 11 to 75) The current bias of +11 evens has been holding at +11 since 9/14/2022 when it was +12. Prior to 9/14/22, on Sept 11th it was +16. (very ra

Ontario Lottery launches a new type of instant ticketReply
The overall odds of winning any instant prize in the game are 1 in 3.19 , while the odds of winning one of the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 20,000. It's all about the odds. Florida Lottery's $20 Triple Match scratch-off offers 1 in 2.85 of winning any prize (a little better than the Ontario game,) but odds of 1 in 888,166 of winning $100,000 , much worse than the Ontario game. At the $30 level (since Florida has no $25 scratchers) odds of winning any prize is 1 in 2.93 (also better than
