I'm in for a 5er. Like Cookie said, just let me know the specifics....
Nice job taking on the group buy, Jeff. I can't get in on this one, though.![]()
Odds of winning humidor: 10.4% for 5ers, 6.25% for Kayakin.
Odds of winning DVD set (assuming a 5er wins the humidor): 11.6% for 5ers, 6.98% for Kayakin.
Odds of winning hat (assuming a 5er wins both 1st/2nd): 13.2% for 5ers, 9.09% for Kayakin.
If Kayakin wins either the first or second raffle, the odds for a 5er winning the next raffle prizes decreases by .5%
The raffle (if everyone is ok with this method) will work alphabetizing our aliases on this site, which I have already done up top. It would be so much easier to assign everyone one raffle ticket instead of 5, but since Kayakinboy has a three pack, we can't give him 3/5ths of a ticket. Yes, he does have less of an investment than the rest of us, but he also has less of a chance of winning the prizes. Mathematically, it makes sense; he gets the same odds of a favorable return on investment that we do, with equal probability and chance for gain.

How about I drop myself out of the drawing to avoid any drama that might occur. :thumbs:
Fine, I guess I'll play. Count me in.
