BW Lucky Numbers

Am I right or wrong in thinking there is more than adequate value to be playing 3 lotto numbers at 450/1 with Betting World. Unless I'm wrong the probability of guessing 3 numbers right is 56.66/1.

Now I've never seen our bookies to be generous with odds, but unless I'm wrong it does seem like they are being so here.

I also remember hearing that the Lucky Numbers were Betting world's top earner too. Which is interesting.

I usually play numbers when I'm low on cash to punt and sportsbet properly. But am I right in thinking there is enough value to be worth playing them ?

Worse form of gambling ...but when your lucky the rewards are big..

ps some bookies take more on a powerball draw than they do on the July

Interesting stuff. Guess a lot of people must like how the odds look on paper.


Does feel like an exercise in futility a lot of the time.

Any fixed odds will be better than the payout for getting 3 correct numbers
must consider that you are choosing 6 numbers to get 3 correct with the lotto
the odds of getting 6 correct from 49 is just short of 14 million to one
the odds of getting 3 correct from 49 are just over 24000 to one
will just have to think of the formula for getting 3 from the 6 numbers?
Mark are u still awake

I was just going by WIkipedia's lottery mathematics. I'm no actuary lol.

I was just going by Wikipedia's lottery mathematics, must have misinterpreted the 57/1 chance of connecting with 3 numbers. I'm no actuary/statistician lol.

I got 2/3 numbers on 2 of my lines. So close lol.

The true odds for predicting 2 numbers is 56/1.

Can u give me calculation
The odds of picking 2 correct numbers from 49 is 1176/1
The difference is that you only need 2 of the 6 numbers and that is what I don't know is how u calculate?

Ok 56 X 21 is 1176
I am happy

The true odds for correctly predicting 3 numbers for the SA Lotto is 525.4/1
