Re: [vpFREE] Re: An Old War Horse

Well, its easy to get frequencies from the Wizard of Odds Keno Calculator. But from scratch I use the John Scarne method.

First we determine the total number of combinations that make a 5-spot out of 80 numbers:

80X79X78X77X76/5X4X3X2X1 = 24,040,016

Then we have to determine the number of combinations that make 3 out of 5:

(20X19X18/3X2X1) * (60X59/2X1) = 2,017,800

Then we divide the total combinations by the combinations that make 3 out of 5:

24,040,016/2,017,800 = 11.91

If you check the Wiz's keno calculator you will see that he has the same number.
