[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9088121, member: 7034611"] unless I am mistaken all the odds are the same… so saying ‘all the odds’ is a bit weird, unless you are thinking of e.g. betting on black rather than one number It still is an uninformed choice because you do not have all the information that is relevant to your choice, ie which number will come up. You could be Einstein and your choice still would be uninformed it seems we are not just disagreeing about what ‘meaningful’ means but also what ‘uninformed’ means ;) Whenever someone is missing vital information, they are uninformed. The missing vital information for this choice is which number will win. The odds aren’t helping with this choice at all… they are significant in the sense that they tell you that picking one number is as good as picking any other, unless you already know the outcome beforehand, because they all have the same chance of winning (and the same payout), but that is all they do. If one number had significantly better odds or a significantly higher payout, that would help with choosing a number, but as it stands all you can figure out is that there is no preferred one the word uninformed, that is why I am using it ;) [/QUOTE]
