BobPI'm sure the above reply must have something to do with number crunching but i don't understand the statement.You implied because you could either win or lose the odds were 50/50. The two outcomes have different odds of occurring. BobP

JAG,You're very good with the analysis of odds and probabilities.For all practical purposes, there's nothing wrong with rounding the numbers. I only mentioned that for puposes of clarification in explaining the dual matrix effect.Are those 1:10,584 odds based on the assumption that a complete wheel of the ten numbers is used?C'ya next challenge,aye'

Sedertree -The Wizard of Odds (Michael Shackleford) has been in the odds business for years. His main slant is towards card (mainly poker) and casino games. Good information in his specialized niche. We exchanged links a couple of years ago - I don't know whether he still has the link to my site on his page but I maintain the link to his. Seems like a reasonable person to deal with.gljohn

Most jurisdictions are set at 50% or slightly more.How did you come up with that? I went to the Barnager odds calculator to determine all the odds and amounts. It may not be accurate in case, but it's free so I can't complain. I did put in 50% for the overall prize pool, maybe you're thinking of the top prize being 35.5%.

Win D,Well based upon past history, even while there's no guarantee, the play is a good one since it reduces the odds. After all, that's about all any of us can do is reduce the odds, since there's no method that produces the winning combo on a specific day.I've reduced my own combos down to twenty, so maybe I'm cutting it too close. (what else is new? LOL) -- Tried to send you a PM on it, but got bounced as your inbox is full. You are such a popular person.
