How To Calculate The Number Of Bets In A Perm
We will show you by example:
Perm any 3 from 5 = 10 bets
Why 10 Bets?
This figure is arrived at by multiplying 5 x 4 x 3 =60
You then multiply 1 x 2 x 3 = 6
Then divide the greater number by the smaller:
60 / 6 = 10
Any 3 from 6 would be 6 x 5 x 4 =120
Again you multiply 1 x 2 x 3 (because it is a perm any 3) which gives 6
And you then divide 120 by 6 which gives 20 bets.
If it was any 4 from 6 you would multiply the 4 highest numbers: 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 = 360
And you would then multiply the 4 lowest numbers:
1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24
then divide 360 by 24 which gives 15 lines
So a Perm any 5 from 10 would go like this:
10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 (the 5 highest numbers multiplied together = 30240
Then multiply the 5 lowest numbers: 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 = 120
Then divide 30240 by 120 = 252 lines.
