            saying 512-1 for 9 bets is the same as saying that the actual odds of one -110 bet is 2-1.

            Blax and donjuan - well said.

            odds and probability are different , though related, things.

            probability = 1/512 >>>> so the odds are 511 to 1

                  for 1 = 1207.27
                  to 1 = 1206.27

                        It seems we got a couple of guys who worked on the RX review of video poker play at ezstreet in this thread.

                          Just do a 9 team parlay of every combination of 9 (-110) games at $1 each. It will cost $512 but you are guaranteed to get back $336 at 5dimes.

                          It will cost you $176, but you would then be able to post your 9 team winning parlay here in players talk. See it not impossible.

                                    We decide what side to take... it is not handed to us. Not sure why noone understands this.
                                    thread should have ended right there.

                                      50%, you either hit 9 in a row or you don't, how hard is this to understand

                                          If anyone is interested, to get the same odds as winning the powerball, you woud have to pick almost 27 -110 bets in a row!

                                                LMAO I love when these threads get posted in both the think tank and players talk, the think tank guys star losing their minds thinking the unwashed masses have the audacity to enter their pristine shrine of self righteousness and pompousness.
