Your chances were 0, you buy a ticket, and now your chances are x. Where x is not infinitely greater than 0, it's x greater than 0. Pretty sure your proposition

Your chances were 0, you buy a ticket, and now your chances are x. Where x is not infinitely greater than 0, it's x greater than 0. Pretty sure your proposition implies that 2 tickets provide the same odds as one ticket (2 infinity vs 1 infinity).
I haven't gotten into the discrete math in many years. If you're right do you mind explaining please? I can intuit what you're getting at. 0 odds * inf < (odds with one ticket). Is that a decent description?
- web007 2y agoOdds for N tickets as odd(N): odd(0) = 0 odd(1) = X, so odd(1) / odd(0) = +Inf increase in odds of winning vs 0 odd(2) = 2X, so odd(2) / odd(1) = 2x increase in odds of winning vs 1
