More like tens of million to one. Billion to one nobody will play because payouts will be very rare.

some people bet every draw, maybe only after 30-40 years hit something really big.

if you bet only rm1, difficult, unless you bet on jackpot, but even jackpot, if you bet system 20, even win jackpot, also not much.

Of course. You can't have both ways. Lower probability, higher payouts, and vice versa.

We use expected return/value to make comparisons between probability and payouts to find what is the best value for money.

Like why some prefer to play slots while others play baccarat in casino.

Slots have lower probability but can one shot win big, whereas table games higher probability but hard to win big with small bet.

That's why number games appeal to the public more. The majority of people prefer to risk a small amount for the miniscule probability to win big.
However, in the end only the casino or house wins, due to the law of large numbers.

In short, more people prefer to have 1% chance to win RM100, than 50% chance to win RM2.

i think most people play slots, because they don't know how to play other games.

just my opinion though.

Yes, simplicity is also a factor. Like why there are no craps tables in most casinos any more.

Games must balance simplicity, fun, reward and risk. It's an art by itself.

The system will check which numbers and how much bought.

Then generate a different number.

It will still payout to winner or else nobody will bet. Like a gambling machine?

if expected value all negative why play at all lol only play positive expected value games.

btw aren't u in Germany? lots of lottery games there

cool story brah

Nearlee

I play system 6. All 3 companies.

What are my actual odds of winning?

ALL lottery games are negative value. If positive then there will not be any of these games on offer. People will find out and exploit it.

Take blackjack for example, remember the MIT guys who counted cards. They were working with about 1 or 2% positive value. But they could identify when it's positive, so they bet big when value is positive.

In short, positive value games in lottery are non existent.

That's the reason I rarely play these kinda games. Only once in awhile like the Eurojackpot when the pot goes up to max and trickles down to the lower levels.
