the percentage actually remains the same, if you have 1/50 chance in two stores, it's still gonna be 1/50...instead of competing with 49 others, it will be with 99 others, yes you have an extra chance but the number of the odds also increaseThat's the problem, you are not contributing any "knowledge" to anything or anybody.I'm not trying to sound intelligent. I was just contributing my knowledge to the situation. But since you have a masters in math, tell me how I am incorrect my G.
You are spewing absolute nonsense, and doing it in a way that implies "actually guys, this incredibly simple concept that is common sense to everyone with half a brain...you are all wrong about it, and I am right about it because 'exponentiate', and transitive properties, and blah blah blah"....
When in fact, you are the one who is dead wrong and displaying a disturbing lack of common sense. And trying to spread it to others, and that is not OK.
So do you honestly need me to explain to you why entering 2, or 3, or 10 raffles gives you a better chance of winning then only entering one?
By your "logic", if I buy 1,000,000 lottery tickets, and you buy 1, then you and I have the same chance of winning that lottery?
Obviously that's insane.
Using your example, but applying actual math and common sense, if you have a 1/50 chance or winning each raffle, and you enter each raffle, then your odds of winning are then 1/50 + 1/50, which equals 2/50. Which is exactly twice as much as 1/50. Which is exactly what common sense would indicate: that if you enter two raffles, your chance of winning is twice as good as if you enter one raffle.
In the future, just know that if you are so unbelievably wrong about such a simple concept, you are probably equally as wrong about other things as well, and you should think twice or do a little research before attempting to "educate" others.
10 estwat time four these? the 0ld 8est? or 10?
lmao I wasn't going to reply because clearly this guy missed the entire point I made, but since you broke it down to him maybe he'll understand. Clearly if you buy more than one lottery ticket, you're giving yourself more than one entry in the same pool of entrants, which is EXACTLY what I stated in my original post. But it's whatever. I'm off it. Not arguing a point with a guy who doesn't even know what he's talking about. In other news, the one and only raffle I entered just came through! We really are all eating this release famthe percentage actually remains the same, if you have 1/50 chance in two stores, it's still gonna be 1/50...instead of competing with 49 others, it will be with 99 others, yes you have an extra chance but the number of the odds also increase
if you go to 10 stores, and theres a 1/10 chance you win in each one, it will still be 1/10 overall.
now if it was ONE single global raffle, then yes, more entries will increase your chances.
a lottery played by millions is still one pool of lottery.
You guys are both correct; just arguing two different sides of the same coin.I really feel bad for you people...
If you don't understand, that if I go to all ten of those stores, and you only go to one of them, then I have a significantly better chance of winning than you do, well then I truly feel sorry for you.
Enjoy going through life with that level of intelligence.
bro, LISTEN!! This is my last time on this topic. Try to keep up. If I were to enter a raffle with 9 other people, I have a 1 in 10 shot of winning. If you were to enter 10 raffles, each with 9 other entrants in the pool, then you have a 10 in 100 chance of winning. Which simplifies to 1 in 10! Aka me and you would have the same exact chance of winning! Yeah you have 10 entries in 10 independent pools, but you're also competing with 90 other people, compared to me, who's only competing with 9 other people. There are two laws at work here. The law of proportions and the law of probability. If you still don't understand, then idk what to say. Go ask a pre-algebra teacherI really feel bad for you people...

Actually the guy talking about the equal chances is mostly right. The only way one would effectively increase his chances in a raffle system is if that person has more than one entry in the same pool. If you're just entering multiple pools than your chances are only multiplying themselves. Instead of a 1 in 50 chance with one pool, if that person entered another pool then his chances would only exponentiate to 2 in 100. Which are the exact same odds he had with just one ticket. Law of definite proportions my friends. And that's assuming all pools have the same number of entrants which they probably won't.
this is definitely incorrect. the probabilities aren't added in this way, they're multiplied because each raffle is treated as an independent event. adding them into one pool is not how it's done.
