Would you bet £50 in a casino or buy lottery tickets for the pick 3 (of 6) ticket ?

Question

would it be better to bet it on 50 'pick3' lotto tickets in which you need 3 numbers of the 6 drawn to win £450... or just take it to the casino and bet on blackjack/roulette etc mainly fir entertainment ?

Answer 1

I believe their is higher entertainment value at the casino.  In addition, games such as blackjack and poker require some skill in addition to luck if you want to win.  That makes the casino a better chance to make money.

Just remember, in the end, the house ALWAYS wins.

Answer 2

Black Jack at the Casino or Bingo more chance of winning!!

More exciting too!

Answer 3

The house edge on most games at casinos is usually 5% or less. If you play blackjack correctly according to basic strategy, the house edge is less than 2%.

This means you will lose the money more slowly. Another way to say it is, your money will last longer so you wil lbe able to play for a longer time.

The true odds in 'pick 3' are 1 out of 1000. If the 'pick 3' pays out 450 for a bet of 1, then the house edge is more than 50%.  It would take an enormous amount of luck to beat the odds.

If you place bets on 50 different numbers, you are reducing the odds of winning to 50 out of 1000, or 1 out of 20. Unfortunately, you will also reduce the payout. Instead of paying 450 for 1, it will pay 450 for 50, or 9 for 1. Still a losing proposition.

Answer 4

casino.......though in reality most people would waste their money on the lottery dreaming of winning against fantastic odds against
