Back in the day "Split the Pot" is a number-guessing game that challenges players to correctly guess all the numbers that will be drawn from a pool of selected numbers. The game adds excitement by offering different payout multipliers based on how many numbers the player guesses correctly and how many balls are selected.

There are two main modes of play: Standard and Advanced. Each has its own approach to betting and winning, but the core idea remains the same: matching selected numbers to the numbers drawn.

How to Play

1. Objective:

The primary goal is to correctly guess all the numbers drawn from the total set of selected numbers.



2. Payout Multiplier Factors:

The payout you receive depends on two main factors:

1. Number of balls selected (how many numbers you choose from the available pool of 25).


2. Number of correct guesses (how many of your chosen numbers match the drawn numbers).





3. Bonus:

In some rounds, you can draw a Joker. This Joker acts as a wildcard and can substitute for any number, making it easier to get correct matches.

Standard Betting Mode

1. Set Your Stake:

Determine the amount you want to bet for the round.



2. Choose Your Numbers:

You must select at least 5 numbers from a pool of 25 possible numbers.

The maximum number of numbers you can select is 24.

Important: You must leave at least one number unselected, so selecting all 25 numbers is not allowed.



3. Understand Payouts:

Your potential winnings vary depending on how many numbers you select. The relationship is as follows:

Fewer numbers selected = Higher potential payout (because it’s more difficult to match fewer numbers).

More numbers selected = Lower potential payout (as it becomes easier to match numbers).


Example:

If you only select 5 numbers, it’s more difficult to match all, so the payout will be higher.

If you select 24 numbers, it’s much easier to match them, so the payout will be lower.




4. Winning Conditions:

To win, you need to match all 5 numbers that are drawn.

If you guess fewer than 5 numbers correctly, you lose the bet for that round.

provided the wins for each odd using only 1rand could you statistically determine the best way to win the most
