What Does It Take To Win (Mathematically Speaking?)Reply
Thanks Rick. Might not the intuitive side of human thinking, the 'whole brain' thinking be as usefully employed toward identifying the why and how mechanism provided such a thing exists as toward attempting to intuit the results of the next draw? I agree with you that whole brain thinking is a neglected discipline. But whole brain thinking involves analysis as well as intuition. Can it be called whole brain thinking if a person abandons one in favor of the other? Or if a person favors one ove

RJOH - The public motive behind government involvement in lotteries isn't out of step with the motives behind the people who exploit the fact it exists as an institution to make money from it indirectly. Government lottery operations are there to persuade the population to voluntarily contribute money to ultimately be spent by governments on government priorities. In order to do that the lottery administrations have to maintain enough of a level of security in their methods and operations to pro

50/50 TheoryReply
RJOH, what you say is true dealing with the odds of the game. But it is also true that one either wins or loses. YHou already know when there are only two possible outcomes the chance is 50/50. Even with a 1:4 chance, the individual still has a 50/50 chance because he/she will either win or lose. Those are the only possible outcomes, since the lottery doesn't offer ties. Do those odds change for any one individual because 50 million people hold tickets? Not at all. Since those people a

RJOh, Time*treat said the odds of flipping the same side 3 times in a row is 2/8 or 25%, which is wrong. You said the odds of flipping the same side 3 times in a row is 1/8 or 12.5%, which is correct. But yet, you said you agree. Your post makes it appear you agree with time*treat. --Jimmy4164
