Quelles sont les CHANCES?

Les chances de gagner sont très minces. En fait, elles vont toujours contre le parieur. C’est toujours la ” maison ” qui a la haute main et plus une personne joue, plus elle risque de perdre.

Votre grande chance :

Loto 6/49 : 1 chance sur 14 millions

Super 7 : 1 chance sur 21 millions

Pour gagner, il faudrait donc acheter un billet tous les jours pendant 20 000 ans.

Quale sono le probabilità?

Le probabilità di vincere sono abbastanza piccole. Le probabilità sono sempre contro il giocatore. La “cassa” avra sempre il margine, e più qualcuno gioca, più sono le probabilità di perdere.

La tua grande opportunità:

Lotto 6/49: 1 a 14 milioni

Super 7: 1 a 21 milioni

Alora per vincere: dovresti acquistare un biglietto ogni giorno per un periodo di 20000 anni

La probabilità di fare un incidente con la macchina o annegarsi:

1 a 20000

Cuáles son las PROBABILIDADES?

Las probabilidades o las oportunidades de ganar son siempre mínimas. Las probabilidades siempre están en contra de quién apuesta. La “casa” siempre tendrá la ventaja, y cuánto mas se juegue, es mas problable que mas se perderá.

Cuáles son sus Chances:

Loto 6/49:1 en 14 millones

Super 7:1 en 21 millones

Entonces para ganar- tendrá que compar un billete todos los días por 20,000 años

The odds or chances of winning are very small. Odds are always against the bettor. The “house” will always have the edge, and the more someone gambles, the more likely they will lose.

Your Big Chance:

Lotto 6/49: 1 in 14 million

Super 7: 1 in 21 million

So to win – you need to buy a ticket every day for 20,000 years

– Know the signs!

– Acknowledge the problem

– Help the gambler to set limits

– Provide moral support

– Cause and consequences are a great teacher – help the gambler recognize what they are really risking when they gamble, and what the outcome might be

– Beware of funding the problem with unrealistic bailouts, legal assistance, etc. – don’t be bullied by the gambler

– Don’t make excuses for the gambler

– Insist on honesty
