Default Re: Is playing PowerBall currently +EV???

It's not +EV, but you should play anyway because you want to.

Guys...who gives a rats ass if it's a -EV. It's a HUGE pot that doesn't happen very often and to think of this as either a -EV or not is sense less. If you play and hit it even if you split the pot who cares, your going to be rich as hell and won't need to grind out any game you gamble at anymore.

Play every hand as if you had to do it a million times.

Were talking the odds of Power Ball of 1 in 140 Million. If you averaged 250K hands of poker/ year then it would take you 560 years to make this -EV happen. Even then it would only be a sample of 1...LOL

Well, if you're in a rush you could just buy all 140MM combinations. Then you could make it -EV right away.

This is exactly wrong. Who gives a rats ass if it's +EV? When EV is dominated by a 8-digit jackpot, and your bankroll is not 8 digits, EV is a pretty irrelevant number.

8-digit jackpot ...

This isn't worth discussing if it's only 8.
