Suppose I have 21 balls, 4 are black, 4 are yellow ,4 are red ,4 are orange and 5 are blue. How many ways can I get a pair? 2 balls of the same color?

16/21 of the time you draw not blue with the first ball and need the same color 3/20. 5/21 of the time you draw blue and need another blue 4/20.

16/21*3/20 + 5/21*4/20 = 68/420 = 16.19%
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

4*combin(4,2)+combin(5,2) = 4*6 + 10 = 34

Forgive me if I just analyze the Pairplus by itself and not fuss with the base game. In that case, the answer to your question is 384x the bet amount.

Hand Pays Combinations Combinations Return
Mini royal in spades 384 1 0.000045 0.017376
Mini royal 96 3 0.000136 0.013032
Straight flush 40 44 0.001991 0.079638
Three of a kind 30 52 0.002353 0.070588
Straight 6 720 0.032579 0.195475
Flush 4 1096 0.049593 0.198371
Pair 1 3744 0.169412 0.169412
Other -1 16440 0.743891 -0.743891
Total 22100 1.000000 0.000000


For every extra 100 bets in the meter, the return goes up by 0.79%.
