Imagine there are 4,000 tickets but only one is sold, to you.
What is the likelihood that you'll win?

This thread has become a rev comps complaint centre. Their website is out there somewhere, as is their social media presence >>>>
Would be an interesting live draw as, I believe, unsold ticket numbers can't be excluded can they? So the none winning number will be back in the next draw so the odds would still be 1:4000 would it not? Even if there's 1 entrant in the comp. What is the likelihood that you'll win?

Anyway, hopefully normal service resumes and the thread doesn't need to change title to Rev Comp Q&A

Complete nonsense. Odds are reset on every draw so every time your odds are 1:3999. If there were 3000 numbers in the draw only your odd are on that one draw so yes you have 1:3000 chance. If its 4000 numbers with 1000 unsold then its still a 1:4000 and if one of the unsold numbers comes out its another go, again at 1:4000. That could happen a few times and agreed gives you 'another chance of winning' but at no point does the odds of your number coming out reduce so it does not become a 1:3000 chance of winning, That maths only happens if say you have 2000 tickets on a 4000 draw, you then can cancel that down to 1:2 chance on that spin of the numbers
I'll happily leave it there, you believe you are correct, anyone who understands how odds work will realise you are not. Thing is though Rev Comps used to criticise other companies for claiming the odds are improved and now do exactly the same in their texts.
You are both right. It depends what question you are answeringI'll happily leave it there, you believe you are correct, anyone who understands how odds work will realise you are not.

As the unsold numbers are not removed, Sandman72 is correct and the chances of you having a single winning ticket in each single draw is 1:4000
However
As the draws are redone when an unsold ticket is drawn, your odds of having a winning ticket in the series of draws that takes place is 1:3000 if 1000 tickets remain unsold out of the original 4000.
Odds of my ticket being drawn divided by the odds of a sold ticket being drawn = (1/4000) / (3000/4000) = 1/3000

Anyone get their postals accepted to revcomps for tonight?
I should have had 8 delivered today for various comps, only two have been added for draws later this week - can't imagine they will have been delivered on different days but we will see if any more get added tomorrow.vRSDave said:

Yes, 8 postcards processed here.
Do you enter different draws or can you enter one draw more than once? (different postcards obviously)RTPT said:
