Odds
maybe you lay off the crack. i never said 3 would decrease the odds to 1:250,000. i said buying 2 tickets out of 1,000,000 makes your odds 1:500,000. maybe i should use smaller numbers so all you people can understand. EXAMPLE 1:there are 10 combinations in a certain lottery.you buy 1 ticket- ODDS= 1:10you buy 2 tickets- ODDS= 2:10 OR 1:5you buy 3 tickets- ODDS= 3:10you buy 4 tickets- ODDS= 4:10 OR 2:5you buy 5 tickets- ODDS= 5:10 OR 1:2EXAMPLE 2:there are 1,000,000 combinations in a certain lot

Powerball Power Play Number Almost Always 2 ?
Alright, here we go.
Throughout this topic odds have made an appearance and have been used to explain the occurrences of the various multiplier selections.
The Megaplier does have problems, but it seems to benefit the player more than the Power Play multiplier does.
For now we'll focus on the Power Play multiplier.
There are 3 different odds to work with: Stated, Calculated and Estimated.
The Stated and Calculated should always be in exact agreement with each other.

What are the odds?
JAG331 -Math is right, conclusions are in error.In a 52 ball pool there are 26 odd numbers and 26 even numbers. Odds of drawing an odd-numbered ball are 1::2.00.There are 51 balls left, 25 odd, 26 even. Odds of drawing an odd-numbered ball are 25::51, or 1::2.04. Cumulative odds, those of drawing two odd-numbered balls from 52, are 1::4.08.There are 50 balls left, 24 odd, 26 even. Odds of drawing an odd-numbered ball are 24::50, or 1::2.08. Cumulative odds, those of drawing three odd-numbered ba

That's wrong on two counts. Playing 10 combinations leaves 9990, not 9989....
Odds are based on to one....if the task is to pick one winning number out of a field of 10 numbers, the odds against your number are 9 TO 1, not 10 TO one....this if the odds are 9999 TO one (Pick 4) and you play ten striaght tickets, the odds against you are now 9989 TO one...
You're starting out with odds of 10,000 to one, which i

Lotto Relative Percentage Comparison..
Lotto Relative Percentage is the number of odds a game has divided by the payout for that particular tier (i don't know what's is called, i just chose to call it that way)...Example..if a 5of 5 for a pick5 has odds of 376,992 and that payout pays 25,000 then the Relative Lotto Percentage is 15.07% (376,992 : 25K= 15.07%)...
I think that the Lotto Relative percentage is what we need to look at to see if a game is harder or easier compared to another game, or to see which game is easier...

I think you are confusing odds with combinations.
Let's take pick 4. Odds are 1:10,000.
I buy ten tickets straight with ten different numbers for the same drawing.
1. My odds are now 1:1,000.
2. The probability of me winning is 1:1,000.
3. There are 9,998 combinations n

Buying More Tickets Does Not Increase Your Odds.
The 87,500,000 to one implies that odds have been halved. Not the case. Each ticket is up against 175,000,000 to one.
You explained how the odds in Craps are determined, chances of losing to chances of winning, but you keep on saying buying extra chances in MM doesn't decrease the losing chances or increase the winning chances. You even agreed Crap odds are reduced to the lowest common denominator but again are saying MM odds can't.
When a player buys two tickets for one drawing and says

Predicting winning numbers? Fact or fiction?
They are winning more versus program users simply because of the numbers of players. There are far more people that are just buying quick picks. That also means there are actually more losing though. The more people that play using quick picks that doesn't win is far far greater than the people losing that use a program. While there is a winner, two, three, or however many that do on a particular jackpot there will only be a handful of people that actually used a means to pick their numbers.
