Competition Odds

Online Competition Odds Calculator

I made this calculator specifically for people who participate in online car competitions like Dream Car Giveaways, Rev Comps, Redline Competitions, etc. People like me!

The purpose of the utility is to inform the player exactly what odds they have of winning and what impact buying additional tickets would have to their chances of winning.

I enjoy participating in these online car competitions myself — it’s a (sometimes) fun and (hopefully) affordable way to take a shot at winning something pretty special. However, understanding the real odds of success is crucial. By using this tool at CompetitionOdds.com, you can uncover the true probability of winning and decide which competitions are worth your time and money. Knowing the facts might change the way you approach these giveaways, helping you focus on the ones that give you the best chance of success.

  1. First, select your preferred currency before entering the number of tickets the competition organiser is selling.
  2. Enter the cost of each ticket, for instance, if the ticket cost is 89p, enter 0.89.
  3. Enter the percentage chance you'd like to have. For instance, if you want to see how many tickets you'd need to buy to give yourself a 5% chance of winning, enter '5'.
  4. Adjust the slider to indicate how many tickets you want to buy (or enter the number manually).
  5. Click the "Submit" button to calculate your odds and see the results.
  6. Note: After you hit Submit, you can use the slider to see how buying more tickets would change your chance of winning!
