i should buy a lottery ticket

so i've been thinking about that, i'm lucky as fuck on runescape so i think i should buy a lottery ticket ... latest instance of my insane luck : lose 10 flower poker games in a row with the same person , lose 1bil straight up who's got da luck? i do <3

edit: hum guys ... the lottery ticket thing was kinda a ... joke i just couldnt believe i had lost 10 flower pokers in a row thats all xD

 

you had the same % every time you wagered so its not like ur luck stacks over

 

i did, but the odds of losing 10 times in a row is not 50% x)

the odds of losing 10 times in a row in a 50/50 game are around 0.1%

 

You have the same % every time, therefor you are wrong.

No matter how many times lose, the next time you have the same exact %

 

He's right. It's still 50% probability each time. No matter what.

 

So you have unlucky luck? I'm afraid the lottery is even less than a .1% chance.

Good luck OP.

 

i know lol i was being ... sarcastic lol

i know each time its 50% but , the odds of losing 10 times in a row is not of 50%

 

You don't sound too lucky...

Don't do it man

 

Try to find ways to help yourself quit gambling. Many lives have been ruined from by gambling. It's not something that you want to get into.

 

I hate gambling. Dont get yourself into it even deeper. Its a disease.

 

OP, try Google'ing gamblers fallacy.

 

You cant win if you dont a buy a ticket. I suggest staying away from Quickpicks put together your own numbers and see were that gets you. Even if you dont win the jackpot you can still win $2 or $7 or even another free ticket. If you are at a busy gas station or other place seling scratch tickets you can stand back for awhile and see what other people lose at or win and how much they win then make an educated guess to see if the next is a winner becasue the statistics are on average that 1:3.76 cards is a winner.

 

There's a big difference between probability and odds.

 

well ... im back to 570m from 70m today

edit: hum guys ... the lottery ticket thing was kinda a ... joke i just couldnt believe i had lost 10 flower pokers in a row thats all xD

but yea like some1 said earlier, what i meant was probability of it happenning not the actual odds.

 

There's no difference. They're just two different ways to express chance.

 

Just belted out some calculations and you were really unlucky to lose 10 matches in a row. There is 0.0009765625 chance of losing 10 h/c matches in a row. Very unlucky indeed.

 

ikr? but i already made back half of it, at 570m now from hosting 3 hours-ish

 

Least the lucks back now

 

Someone has to win the lottery
