Monopoly Millionaires gameReply
considered the possibility that whatever network picking up the TV show may have paid for the TV rights which would offset the costs of the show? Any proceeds from airing would pay for the production of the show, but not the actual costs to fund attendees or prize winners. Because it is a Monopoly-themed show, undoubetedly, Hasbro will be getting the largest chunk of monies, since it is their intellectual property. In fact, I think their studio is the one producing it. I will have to further

MMC Game ShowReply
Grengrad: You re probably right I crunched that off the top of my head because I m not on the PC that has my sim software (I might run some sims and post charts later). Where I made a mistake was being hasty and as you said, not considering that the player does not discard old tickets/properties (as you would in a truly independent event), but use them in conjunction of making a set. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ve spent some time revie

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
They are on sale today. However, one big word of caution, for the $10 ticket: $1,000,000 Golden Holiday, the Florida Lottery website lists the odds on the $1,000,000 prize as 1 in 520,000. But there is a big typo, the Florida Emergency Rule which outlines the overall odds and payouts for each prize level lists the odds on the $1,000,000 prize at 1 in 1,520,000. That is a huge difference. I was almost going to buy whole a book of the tickets with those amazing odds at $1M until I realized it was

New multi-state lottery game launches SundayReply
Your estimate of tickets sold to $1 million prizes available is highly underestimated. If they sold 24 million tickets the number of Club prizes would be greater than 10 or 12 (closer to 23-24). The number of $1 million winners will depend on how big the jackpot is. At the maximum jackpot of $25 million there will be 16 $1 million winners. That's the maximum possible number of $1 million winners. As far as how many tickets are sold, that's gong to vary, but the fewer they sell the less like

Illinois Payback PercentagesReply
You might have to file a formal Freedom of Information request to get that info. Don't live in IL but it will probably be the ones with the best odds. Comparing 50 games in my state, the correlation coefficient of overall odds and game payback is 0.9, which means that the variation in overall odds explains 90% of the variation in payback. So a good rule of thumb is that those with the best odds have the best return. Not always the case of course, but without access to more information it's th

Best time NOT to play doubles is...Reply
Odds are your friend .......... 146 Single Box hit Sunday NEW YORK midday draw today. P.S. New York midday just had their 3rd double in a row today(Saturday). ODDS wise.... playing only Singles for Sunday would be a good bet. Getting 4 doubles in a row .....is more rare than hitting a Triple ! Odds against a 4th double on Sunday are about as good as we get ....in this bad odds game.

Should we boycott Mega Millions?Reply
I say you don't understand. You play against all other players in US, the odds of winning are the same regardless of which state you live in. It will happen more often that the player who wins live in California, but it dont change your odds of winning. MM is played in almost all of us states, imagine that there was only one state in US, would it change your odds of winning? No. Edit: also lets say California leaves MM, then statistics say that the second biggest states would have more winner

Maryland: 7/1 - 7/31/2014Reply
Also what you can do is track whether the sums are even or odd. Before yesterday's Mid 0213 Sum 6, the odd sums had hit 6 days in a row. It is not unusual for evens or odds to hit several days in a row. However, from June 20 thru July 8, neither hit more than 2 days in a row. The evens hit 2 days in a row 5 times, while the odds only did that 2 times. Clearly, the even sums were the hotter of the two. Now, I would expect to see it continue with the longer steaks again for 2 or 3 weeks after the

Do you think that $20 and $30 scratch offs should have 1 in 2 overall odds?
Do you think that $20 and $30 scratch offs should have 1 in 2 overall odds? I think if you risk that much money in one shot you deserve to have a 50/50 chance. CT lottery is total crap in that, they offer approximately the same overall odds on $3 dollar tickets and $30 dollar tickets. That does not make sense at all to players. Only to greedy lotteries
