Math Question
Post Body

So, If I had a graphing calculator Im pretty sure I could figure it out, but with keno:

So normal Keno is an 80 number board where you pick up to 10 numbers (weā€™ll just state the max for the sake of the example) and then 20 numbers are drawn at randomā€¦

On stake though the board is halved to 40, you still pick 10 numbers, but only 10 numbers are drawnā€¦

So my question is, how much worse are the odds of (will pick 6 and 7 for reference [higher end hits] ) hitting the same amount of numbers on Stake?

To the layman (without an understanding of factorials and probability); it seems either like the ā€œsame oddsā€, or ā€œeven betterā€ as you have 10/40 rather than 10/80 numbers and the ā€œboards halved so the called numbers being halved makes senseā€. But it doesnā€™t work like that an I know some of you math people on here probably can do it easier than I can (really donā€™t want to pencil out 80x79x78x77ā€¦/80x79x78x77ā€¦- 20x19x18x17ā€¦. Etc.)Thanks in advanced if you answer the question; greatly appreciate it šŸ™
