Roulette wheel vs Lottery

in busy •  7 years ago 

No prizes here. I'm just going to explain how silly the lottery is basically. Many people take part in the lottery yet see a roulette wheel and a casino as a plain gambling and a bad thing.

There is a 1 in 13,983,816 change of winning the UK lottery, with tickets costing £2. The average Jackpot is also roughly £10 million. The odds of winning at the roulette wheel is 1/37 if betting on a random number. If you win you get 36 times your money back. If you bet on black or red its a 18/37 chance to double your money.

If you start with a £2 stake in the casino, assuming the casino is happy to let you win as much money as the lottery jackpot, one win gets you £72 at the odds 1/37. Two wins gets you £2592 at the odds 1/1369. Do that 5 times and you get £121 million at the odds 1 in 69 million. Do it 4 times, then place two bets on black or red, and you would get £13.4 million at the odds 1 in 7.9 million.

Here you can see you get an extra 30% for a casino at only 57% of the risk. The upside to lotteries comes in that you can get lesser prizes for getting a lesser amount of numbers. However I don't believe this balances the odds of winning in your favour over a roulette wheel. With a roulette wheel you can also walk away if you happen to win 3 numbers in a row.

I'd never try to win millions on a roulette wheel myself even though I know the odds are better and I have even done the lottery. I have no idea why this is the case but it's true of almost everyone. Let me know what you think about people doing the lottery over a roulette wheel in the comments.

Lol just accidentally promoted some gambling

I pretty much broke even. Think I lost 0.004sbd after 6 attempts.

I now bet on https://melbetappbd.com/mobile-app/ through a new device. Thanks to the Nintendo Switch Lite, it's the latest addition to the Nintendo Switch family. It is a compact and lightweight console with built-in controls. It supports all games that can be played in portable mode. The console is great for those who play away from home and want to play online or local multiplayer with friends and family who already have the flagship Nintendo Switch model. With the purchase of such a device, I spend all day and night in front of the monitor. Best of all, it's easy to use. After downloading a few apps to my account, I've essentially forgotten what a phone is.

Ah, the eternal battle between the roulette wheel and the lottery. As a Coloradan who occasionally ventures to the glittering oasis of Las Vegas, I've had my fair share of encounters with both. The roulette wheel, with its mesmerizing spins and tantalizing odds, offers a thrilling experience of instant gratification. On the other hand, the lottery teases us with dreams of life-changing jackpots. Personally, I've dabbled in both, hoping for that elusive stroke of luck.
