That could also be said like this:

You either win or the house does the house does the house does the house does the house dcoes the house does the house does the house does the house does the house does the house does the house does the house does the house does the house does, ad nauseam...

(the house in this case being the lottery)

The perfect example of 50/50 odds is the coin toss.

Spare the unqualified contempt the banal, faux-intellectualism. Those that are truly intelligent know that it is their obligation to help those that are less educated. Not to pontificate from a rock of arrogance. The anal cavity remark suggestive violence certainly provides us with a clear picture of your sexuality Doug...Or lack thereof.

The perfect example of 50/50 odds is the coin toss. Either heads or tails or 1/2. However, the perspective is right because there are only two possiblities. They are winning or losing. A or B. However, there is a much better chance of losing than winning. Placing a bet is not a rational choice because keeping your money will ensure that you have it.

If the odds are 1: 200, the real chances are more like 1 chance of winning something, 199 chances of losing.

You can stuff it back up your anal cavity from whence it came. Too tuff to deal with little human? Too bad.

Just a little hard on her, huh? Adjectives such as ingnorant, uneducated, simpleton, are really uncalled for, no need to bite her head off. You knew exactly what she meant. And in the end, no matter what the game is, there are just two possiblities, win or lose. Be nice and maybe more people would Post in this area.

This is a false perception. Typically, this is common among those who don't understand Probability and Statistics; anything beyond plus and minus is outside their comprehension, so they simplify it to some value like 50/50 or even something like 9 times out of 10. The words for describing people like this are Ignorant, Uneducated, Simpleton, etc. The only way to remove those labels is to educate yourself. It's simple and it's right in front of you; you just used it to get here. Now use it to res... [ More ]

I've always seen the lotto as having two possibilities, you either win, or you don't.
