I'm not a Keno player. What happens over the other about 16 tries, given a win of about 8 units over about 17 tries? Lose $0.75 over the other 16 tries?
You'll average missing the 2-spot 15.63158 games out of 16.63158 games. You'll average hitting the 2-spot once every 16.63158 games....which pays 8.3333 for 1.

8.3333/16.63158 = 50.1%.
Mission, while you're here, can you explain Mickey's explanation above?

I guess that another reason to have mathematicians explain stuff is that the explanations become universal. I don't know that he's correct, but, I do know that no one explains anything, that way.
