The groups were not the problem with the last setup, digit 6 hit twice which knocked out one number
and digit 2 was set for a min/hit of one which removed a second number. One group was blocked that
removed the third. These three settings killed the setup and produced only a couple 2+0 on a single
line. So far from the test I have ran it's not looking to good for the lower prizes with these games so
I am lookng into different type setups, I thinks it's going to be a all or nothing sort of play. What we
need is a setup that requires the fewest settings that reduces the sets the most and then play it for
a 5of5 and hope we hit some lower prizes along the way. Even the reduction tools are not working
that well with the 5-56 matrix. As far as playing other games each person can do that on their own
and since most of these games split 17 ways would pay a very low return it's not much of a incentive
to switch. I will play the 6-44 once in a while but only when the JP cash value is over 1 million. There
are no rules that prevents pool members from playing these smaller games but I think the pool will stay
with the MM game with the occasional 6-44 play.
Playing in the pool gives me a better chance of hitting a 5+0 then playing my 5-39 by myself. It cost each
of us $1.00 / 17 = .058 or around 6 cents rounded for every ticket purchased. The ratio between MM and
my 5-39 is 3,819,816/575757=6.6 to 1 meaning that I would need to play 6.6 MM lines to get the same odds
as my 5-39 offers for a single line. With the pool play I get 17 lines for the same cost of a single 5-39 line
so 17/6.6 = 2.57. I am over 2.5 times more likely to hit a MM 5+0 then I am to hit my 5-39 for the same
investment plus the chance of matching the BB. If I win MY 5-39 then most of the time I would win more
money but if pool playing the 5-39 then I would win less. $250.00/17=$14,705 and the average 5-39 JP
is around 125K so 125/17=7,352. Playing my 6-44 has odds of 1 in 7,059,052 but it plays 2 lines for $1.00
so the odds for a one dollar play are 7,059,052/2=3,529,526 so hitting a 6of6 has better odds than matching
5of5 playing MM. The 6-44 starts out with a cash option of $500k which means that it is better that MM both
in payout and odds but there is no bonus ball option. This is why I suggested playing the 6-44 until the MM
jackpot reaches a level equal to 1 million per member cash option. The 5-39 is a great game to play but not as
a pool. In reality playing the 6-44 is best overall if not looking for a life changing amount as most of the time
it pays arount 1.4 million cash value so 1,400,000/17=82,352 per member before taxes so around 56K is the
max one could expect to win, it takes around 20 draws to reach this level after it is hit.
