what is russian roulette against just plain roulette?
87231
Roulette is a game that uses a small ball on a numbered wheel and you win by guessing where the ball will land ... either by specific number, a group of numbers or color (red, black or green, which is used for 0 and 00).\n\nRussian roulette is played by putting one bullet into a handgun cylinder and giving it a spin. You then put the gun to your head and pull the trigger. You win if you get an empty chamber.

.001% Very small probability.

the .ru indicates Russia, source of much spam, internet scams, and general computer havoc. I block all email originating from .ru as it is usually just more crap.

I think the odds would be 1 in infinite. That's just because you could just any number, and you only have one guess.

Lotteries are a tax on people who aren't good at math.  Lottery software is double taxation.  You can't improve your odds of winnning something based on probability, no person or software can predict the future or better your odds.  The best way to win at lotteries is to keep your money.

Your logic is flawed. Say you always pick card #2. The first time, you'll have 14.2857...% (that's the same as saying one seventh) of the chances of winning the car.\n\nThe second time, with a new set of cards, your chances that the card #2 is the winner are again 14.2857...%, and so will every new time, because your chances are always 1 out of 7. You are picking one card out of seven cards that you are given.\n\nYour reasoning would be right if you could be assured that the car card will always be a different one (that for example, it will be in the first case #4, then #6, and so on). In that case, after the 7th. guess (if not earlier), you'd get the car. But the way you explained the game, nothing prevents the car from being always for example at card #5. If that is the case, always trying card #2 will make you fail every time.

It's completely luck. The pick three game is allot easier to win though because it's only 3 numbers. Therefore, if you play it 8 times a week you'll win more than the normal lottery. The only way that tracking numbers would be useful is if they used the same number balls and machine each time. If the same numbers consistently came up it might be because of defects in those balls, and by picking those numbers it would increase the odds of winning. However, I believe that they change all of that stuff all the time, which would make the number-tracking scheme useless.

A wise person once said ... the lucky are those who take opportunity and weigh the odds in thier favor.\n\nThose who manipulate the odds (loaded dice, marked cards) seem lucky but they are in fact taking an opportunity and weighing it in their favor; I don't condone or suggest cheating.\n\nBut if the odds of winning at something are 10 to 1, why not do it 10 times instead of doin it 1?\n\nTrue some may win on the 1 try but as the lottery slogan goes:\n\n"Ya gotta be in it to win it" and "Whether you think you can or think you can't... You're right"

G'day Deeky Ward,\n\nThank you for your question.\n\nThere probably are professional gamblers with systems that work. However, they are keeping their secrets to themselves. Once people work out the system, the odds on the particular horses selected by the system fall and it isn't as lucrative.\n\nBe very careful of buying systems off people who sell them. Either they don't work as advertised or the more people who buy them, the lower the odds.\n\nHave a flutter if you wish but it is unlikely that you will make a fortune from horse racing or other forms of gambling.\n\nRegards

Was it the card game "pairs"?

if the matches are decided in single set, and single set is decided in single game, and single game is decided in single point, and the point is won in single service... it will be too exciting..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nthe rules were created to enjoy the game beyond human errors.dont think to change that.

I believe the result is the same, assuming replacement.  This is because every event (drawing a ball) is independent of every other and it does not matter if you look at all 1000 results or some 100 of them.\nGood question.

For every winner, there is a loser.  Let's say we both play chess.  If you win, then I lose.  We can't both win.

Random Payouts. Psychologically your mind knows that the next hand, the next spin COULD be the BIG WIN. Some people get so into it that they are SURE they will hit big on the next spin, or the next hand, So sure that they can't put it down. That is when it becomes a habit like alcoholism or drugs. Gambling can be a gamblers cocaine!

How to win state and national lotteries.\nDo you want to win a BIG, BIG prize? Do you want to have all your financial worries sorted out? Do you want to win the lottery? The secret is very, very simple. Anybody can manage it. All you have to do is buy a ticket with the numbers that are going to be drawn at the next draw. If you do this I can GUARANTEE you will win the lottery.\n\n That's not exactly new information, is it?\n\nNeither is the idea that nobody can predict what those numbers will be. However, when a lottery machine selects the numbers this is in no sense a random action. It is 100% predictable. There is nothing stopping anybody calculating exactly which balls not only will, but MUST be drawn. Nothing stopping you. It will simply take a measuring and timing tolerance at the edge of possibility combined with a huge series of calculations.\n\nYou can measure the balls and know their properties. You can time the intervals between starting and stopping the contra-rotating tumble dryers. You can project the trajectories of every single ball and their interactions with each other. It can be done. But it would probably cost more than the size of the lottery jackpot to fund the project and nobody is going to be very happy with people standing around and timing the balls to that degree of accuracy, because one microsecond will totally disrupt all the calculations. The lottery ball machine is totally predictable and not in any way random, but exactly the same thing can be said about a woman. Both are determined and predictable systems, but they simulate randomness far more elegantly than true randomness would. True randomness is a willo-the-wisp entity, like infinity, the highest prime number and the function of half of the roundabouts in Warrington. Lottery machines are not random, but they are chaotic, and therefore, like the minds of women, very difficult to probe with the crude analytical tools we have at our disposal.\n\nSo, I can't tell you how to win the lottery. However, I can offer you some interesting advice that you might find helpful.\n\nYou have to be in it to win it\nThis is a very common slogan used by lotteries and football pools companies alike. What this slogan is saying is you can't dream of winning the lottery or the pools unless you part with your beer tokens. Of course they are right. If you never buy a ticket you can never win. But how many times do you dream of winning? Do you have to win every week to be happy? Of course not. You only have to win once. So you only have to buy one ticket, at some time in the future to be able to legitimately dream of winning a huge jackpot.\n\nOne ticket will do\nYour chance of winning a share in a big jackpot prize is very low. In the UK national lottery (now named Lotto) your chances of having a share of a top jackpot, by getting 6 balls out of 6 representing the numbers 1 to 49 are 1 in 13,983,816. \n\nNow most weeks people win, often several people share the jackpot. So it does happen. But if you staked £5 every week on those odds you would not have a realistic expectation of winning a share in a jackpot in a normal lifetime. But you knew that anyway, didn't you?\n\nSo you might as well get used to the idea that winning the lottery is unlikely. But it's also nice to have a dream, it is good for your mental health. So here is the secret: Buy a ticket. One day. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not.
