Straight tickets
This is the basic most common type of
ticket. You simply mark your numbers and wait for the
draw.
You must firstly choose how many spots
you wish to play. Most casinos allow you to choose between
1 and 15 spots, and some even allow you to choose 20,
32 or 40 numbers on a straight ticket. You will normally
want to play 4 to 8 numbers. Below 4 spots, your payoff
isn't worth the average 30% casino take. At 8 numbers,
your odds are about 230,115 to 1. At 9 spots it jumps
to 1.38 million to 1, and at 15 spots your odds of hitting
all 15 are an unrealistic 428 BILLION to 1!
Your last decision is simply the amount
you will wager. Common straight tickets are £1.00,
although some are 70 pence or lower. You can also play
multiples of the base rate. For example, you could play
a £1.00 ticket for £5.00, and your winnings
will be multiplied by 5 times the £1.00 payout
rate. When playing multiples it is important to be aware
of the base rate; the casino will not pay more than
the aggregate limit on any one game. So if the aggregate
limit is $50,000, your payout will never exceed $50,000,
no matter how much you bet.
