keno odds

[niki014]

Hi, just wanna ask you how are the odds for keno picked up?
There is one think I don't get as well, odds of hitting 1 number ( playing 10 numbers ) are 16% 
but when you chose just 3 numbers the odds of getting 1 number are jumping up to 44%, shouldn't it be the other way around?
like playing 10 numbers means you chose 10 out of 30 should that be like 25% to hit 1 number?

Among all possibilities, you have a 44% chances to get 1 number, the 56% left are the odds of hitting no numbers at all + hitting 2 numbers + hitting 3 numbers. In the other case, the 16% for the one hit means that out of all possible outcome, there is a 16% chance that you will get a single of your number. The missing 84% comes from the odds of hitting no numbers, hitting 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 numbers. So don't really focus on the percentage in Keno, they can be very misleading.

Actually you should look at it this way: You have an X% chance of winning (I think it's 25% for all of them, but I'm not so sure) and out of that X% the percentage you wrote above are your odds of getting that outcome. So for example, you have 25% chances of winning, but you have 44% chances out of that 25%, which is roughly 11.5%, of getting a single number if you've initially picked 3 numbers. I don't if this cleared things up, but I hope this helps

there was a discussion in main not too long ago where it was stated that the odds of hitting the 100x multiplier was about a billion to one. it may have been @irawk0

I believe the math is like (10/40)x(9/39)x(8/38)x(7/37)x(6/36)x(5/35)x(4/34)x(3/33)x(2/32)x(1/31) or basically one in 1.18 billion bets 😛 That means even if everyone played keno on Stake 24/7 everyday and no other games we would've only maybe seen one of those all 10 hits so far, assuming everyone choose 10 numbers lol. Yea the multiplier does not do the odds justice at all, so I'd only recommend playing 8 numbers or less.

lol.. nikki here i will give you the stats for keno.. numbers from 1-10 ods of hitting green 0.1 percent hitting reds 99.9 percent. simple math really. lol.. sorry just bitter about keno and the cycle of red walls it provides no matter the setting or how many numbers you play. you still get trolled.. was playing 10 numbers which is the highest percentage chance of hitting numbers.. yet i can barely hit 3 numbers.. most 0-2 and the reds wow.. was getting 10+ reds so friggin often, it kept eating everything.. its insaneeee.
