What are the odds
Are the lines you play giving you the best bang for your dollar? Note! The cNr calculations are done using the standard windows calculator set to scientific mode. I have gone over this several times to reduce errors but some may still exist. My left hand types faster than my right which causes hard to find errors in the number values. With that being said, here we go. I will keep this simple as possible so that everyone regardless of you math level will be able to understand it. I

how to calculate the odds of this
hi all , I am backtesting some systems and I would like to know if someone can give me the mathematical formula to figure out the odds of the following --- Lets say just for example Im playing 29.6 % of all #s and yet none of my #s come out for 17 consecutive drawings. Would the odds be 29.6% divided by 2,divided by 2 ,divided by 2 ,etc... 17 x ? thanks in advance , J

Can math and logic improve chances of winning a jackpot?Reply
The drawing results tell the real odds of winning the jackpot. It sure looks like you have two chances on one ticket to win the All or Nothing jackpot, but after they drawn the first number, one chance disappears so there really is only one chance. To win both of the two chances, a player must purchase two tickets and those tickets must have the opposite numbers. Players calculate their odds of winning the jackpot based on the number of chances they have to win as if each additional different

I need someone to calculate the odds of this happening
Have been a premium member for a year and just re upped . I have learned a lot in the past year from this site. Today I could not come up with some 3 digit numbers but wanted some action. I went to the store and told the clerk to give me 2 quick picks dollar straight. I looked at the 2 tickets and both had 334. I thought the clerk made a mistake. HOWEVER in Maryland the computer generated quickpicks have a QP on the tickets. My quesiton is what are the odds of having the computer pick the SAME n

Hmmm, law of averages perhaps ?Reply
Thanks for the reply johnph77Just like to ask your advice on what i term negative logic if i may ?Given that the organisers are obviously doing their level best to counter any trends that might begin to appear, if i have identified that the average gap between occurances of number 'x' is larger than 49, is it right to assume that in future draws the gap will be less than average simply in order to return the 'x' gap average back to 49 ? Or should i highlight this as a trend and calculate based o

How can I work out these statstitics...Reply
Calculate the average odds of winning the jackpot among those 10 lotteries, then compare those average odds with the odds of that specific lottery that you intend to spend 100 on (assuming you don't care about the jackpot prize value but only intend to win). If not all tickets cost the same, things get complicated. You can also just post the jackpot odds of those 10 lotteries and I or whoever reads this will do it for you.
