Straight vs Rambolito in EZ2
Sa madaling salita: Straight = eksaktong ayos, mas malaking premyo. Rambolito = kahit anong ayos, mas maliit na premyo pero mas madaling tamaan.
Example: you play 07 · 18.
- Straight: you win only if the draw comes out in that exact order. Odds: 1 in 961.
- Rambolito: you win if those numbers come out in any order. Odds: 1 in 481 (when all numbers are different).
Your real odds
Sa madaling salita: maliit ang tsansa — maglaro lang ng kaya mong mawala.
- Straight: 1 in 961
- Rambolito (all different): 1 in 481
