Answer This...

And here's the proof that common sense is not so common.

It's a free bet - the cost to play is zero - they are by definition both excellent bets because the expectancy on both is an infinite multiple of the risk.

 

Yeah, but the question is, which is <i>better</i>. But good point.

 

(a)
Card #1 = 13/52 chance
Card #2 = 13/51 chance
Card #3 = 13/50 chance
Card #4 = 13/49 chance

(b)
Card #1 = 52/52 chance
Card #2 = 39/51 chance
Card #3 = 26/50 chance
Card #4 = 13/49 chance


I'd say B looks easier

 

What a stupid question of course its B thats takes about 1 sec to work out

 

That's the best answer I have seen!

Commonsensical all the way.

B is the best probability of prevailing.
