What do you think the odds of actually winning are?

With the amount of questions asked each day, I would say the odds are not that good to win. They are only giving away one trip a week with the grand prize trip at the end of the contest (14 total). Most likely most posters do not even realize they are automatically being entered for a trip they most likely don't even want, or cannot go to because they do not have a passport. The FIFA World Cup is coming right up, and it takes time to get a passport. I think any time a sponsor is giving away a prize, and you are entered without your knowing it by performing an every day function, they should give away a more universal prize...like cash.

You had a 1/3 chance originally.\n\nThere was a 2/3 chance it was behind one of the other doors. \n\nThese odds cannot change.\n\nYou are shown one of the other doors. It is not behind it. Therefore the odds it is behind the remaining door are 2/3.\n\nYou are twice as likely to win by switching.

There are 76,275,360 different possible tickets. Therefore if you buy one ticket your chances are 1 in 76275360. If you buy two tickets your chances are 2 /76275360 or 1/38137680.\n\nIf you buy 76275360 (different) tickets then your chances are 76275360/76275360 or 1! Hence you will definitely win.\n\n(Your odds are halved by doubling the amount of tickets you buy as long as each has different number combinations)

Let's see, they have very good chances.

I think the odds would be 1 in infinite. That's just because you could just any number, and you only have one guess.

diidy, how could the odds get worse when you buy more tickets?\n\nI think there are actually two answers, depending on whether each ticket is independent of the others or not.\n\nIf each ticket is independent, and there's no guarantee as to how many tickets there are or how many winners there will be, then think of it this way.  The odds of any ticket NOT winning are 299:300.  Therefore the odds of NO ticket winning are 299^n:300^n, where n is the number of tickets.  The odds of at least one ticket winning are 1 - the odds of no ticket winning, or 1 - 299^n:300^n, or (300^n - 299^n):300^n.\n\nIf there are 300 tickets of which 1 is a winner, then the odds of winning are n:300.

This question is asking the EXPECTATION for this game, which can be found by summing the product of each outcome with it's respective probability:\n\np1x1 + p2x2 + ... + pnxn\n\nThis gives the theoretical winnings or losings for the game.  If it's a negative number (loss) it's high risk, while a positive number (gain) would mean you're expected to win.  Of course, with any probability problem, the actual results will match up with the theoretical results only over the long term.

Win at what?\nJust fighting?  Like UFC?   You have slim to no chance.

It's just luck.  To many combinations to even think of having a 'strategy'.  I only play a dollar.  Hey, that's all it takes.  I don't have enough money to spend on trying to increase my chances of winning by buying more tickets.  A dollar and a dream.  Sadly, I think I'll run out of 'dollars' before I see my 'dream' come true!

According to the official FIFA World Cup website, Spain is currently ranked "5th" in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings.  Hey, that's the same as USA!\n\nOn bodog.com, Spain has 14/1 odds to win the World Cup.  \n\nSo to answer your question, I'd say they're chances aren't bad at all!  They certainly aren't a shoe-in, but don't count them out either!  Only time can tell though.
