But does it really matter? If you selected another number on that basis and then 1 2 3 4 5 6 won, you would still be kicking yourself as splitting the pot is better than no pot at all.
- Etherlord87 5y agoIt does really matter. It's certainly better to have x% chance to win y, than x% change to win z, for z < y. Psychologically, if you assume you lose (and you're "kicking yourself") then avoid betting on popular sets, because it's better to miss a chance to win $100 000 (10 way split) that you would get by betting on a popular set, than to miss a chance to win $1 000 000 that you would get by betting on a unique set.
- UnFleshedOne 5y agoYou have the same chance of hitting right combination if you enter 12345 or a random number chosen by a wall of lava lamps. But you have lower expected return since more people will use 12345 than your particular random number. Expected return being size of the pot you can win multiplied by probability of winning. It's the first number that is lower when everybody has the same bright idea at once.
