Tips
- Hedge your bets by wagering on high-risk options alongside bets that are more likely to win.
- There are 300,000 possible combinations of the "Count of the dropped coloured balls will be less than 2.5". This is one of the best betting options in terms of winnability.
- Landing five same coloured balls for a 1,000x payout is attractive - but is very unlikely. You only have a 0.0003% chance of success - try to hedge this wager with a more likely option.
- Betting on coloured balls not appearing also has a solid chance of winning
- For quick betting, input your preferred stake in the box - when it comes to placing your bet, you will just need to click "Place Bet"
- Don't want to wait for the next betting round? Head over to ongoing games like War of Bets or Bet on Poker to break up time between game rounds.
- You can see the last five draws in the game tab - but this information is generally useless as this is a randomised game
Results
