 SIR, 
 
 INDING you engaged in fo ufeful a Defign, 
 as than of preventing the Publick from being 
 impofed upon by the Deceits, that are lo fre- 
 quent in Gaming, I amrefolv’d to be yourCor- 
 reipondent. And as I am fenfible of the Difficulty of the 
 Task you have undertaken, as well as of your want of 
 Capacity for performing it, I think I can no way be more 
 ufeful to you and your Readers, than by laying open 
 from Time to Time, luch Miftakes, as I perceive you will 
 unavoidably fall into, not in the lead doubting of a Re- 
 
 A turn 
 
turn of the fame good Office, whenever I ffiall have occa- 
 fion for it. Therefore Ceremonies fet afide, as among 
 thole who refolve to be Friends, I fhali in few Words 
 acquaint you with the Reafon of entring into this Cor- 
 
 refpondence. 
 
 An Acquaintance of mine, who is one of thofe ufeful 
 Perlons, vulgarly call’d Stock-Jobbers (for fuch I ffiall 
 always efteem thole Gentlemen, who, by affording a 
 ready Market at all Times for Government Securities, do 
 thereby preferve their Credit, and keep up their Value,) 
 happen’d to purchale a great Number of Tickets in the firft 
 of the prefent Lotteries, at a conffderabl e ( Prcernium. Thele, 
 you know, immediately funk in their Value, upon voting 
 the Second Lottery, and my Friend not eaflly refolving to 
 ffiffer lo great a Lofs, as he mull have done by dilpo- 
 fing of his Tickets at the Market-Price, was determin’d 
 to keep them till the Drawing, at which Time there was 
 a general Expectation they would rile. In this he was 
 again difappointed, the Tickets being confiderably under 
 iVar , both before and after they began to be Drawn. Thefe 
 Circumllances very much perplex’d him, as having already 
 loll the entire ‘Prceminm , which he had paid for his Tick¬ 
 ets, and being now reduc’d to the Neceffity either of felling 
 his Tickets at about 8 per Cent, below ‘Par, or elfe of 
 running the Rifque of the Wheel. The firft he could by 
 no Means refolve upon, and to do the latter might very 
 much incommode him in his Fortune, in cafe of ill Succefs. 
 In this Exigence he turn’d his Thoughts upon infuring 
 with the Company at Mercer's-Hall , by which Means he 
 propofed to himfelf to take the Advantage of what good 
 Fortune might happen, and at the fame Time not to run 
 the hazard of a greater Lofs, than what he knew, he was 
 
able to bear. His Reafon indeed told him, that the Gentle¬ 
 men, who had lublcrib’d lb great a Sum as iaoooo /. had 
 no doubt confider’d very well of their Project, and had 
 it examin’d by good Hands, before they engag’d in it, and 
 therefore in all Probability mud make a reaionable Gain 
 out of the Tickets that were infur’d with them. But this 
 he was willing to comply with, for the fame Reafons, 
 that ufually determine the more prudent Adventurers in 
 Ships and Merchandize to infure their Effebts. 
 
 In this Juncture came out your Performance, which my 
 Friend, with many others, was allur’d by the fpecious Ti¬ 
 tle to purchafe and read over. But finding by your Com¬ 
 putation, that the Company were like to gain above 
 5300c/. out of each Lottery, in cafe they inlur’d the 
 whole, which is more than 10 per Cent, he now found 
 himfelf again at a Lois, and inclin’d rather to fell his Tickets 
 at 7 or 8 per Cent, difcounr, than to allow thole Gentle¬ 
 men lo unreafonable a Profit. 
 
 While he was under thele Doubts, I happen’d into his 
 Company, and as he had never made any Scruple of ac¬ 
 quainting me with the State of his Affairs, he unbofom’d 
 himlelf to me upon this Occafion, and defir’d my Advice, 
 Ihewing me at the lame Time your Computation. I 
 had not at that Time confider’d the Matter, but however, 
 upon running over your Scheme, I prelently dilcover’d le- 
 veral Miftakes iti the Calculation, by which I convinc’d 
 him, that you had carry’d the Advantage of the Company 
 much too high, and promis’d him, that, if he would ftay 
 two or three Days, I would examine that Affair more 
 particularly, and would acquaint him with the Refult. 
 When I had done this, I found the Company were fo far from 
 
 making 
 
making above io per Cent, that they could not propole to 
 gain more than 44 per Cent, upon their firft Propofals, and 
 not quite 34 upon their Second, whereby the Adventurers 
 were allow’d to keep their Tickets in their own Hands. Up¬ 
 on which my Friend, who, though he was not qualify’d to 
 go through with the Computation himleif, yet repos’d 
 a good deal of Confidence in my Accuracy and Diligence, 
 was immediately made eafy, and infur’d his Tickets with 
 the Company upon their laft Propolals, whereby he pays 
 1 6 l. xos. Inlurance-Money for every Set of 12 Tickets. 
 
 Now, Sir, as this is probably the Cafe of many other 
 Perlons, befides my Friend, I hope it may not be uufer- 
 viceable to the Publick, to prefent them with my Compu¬ 
 tation, by which I hope to oblige them and you at the 
 lame Time. But firft of all it will not be improper to de¬ 
 ceit the Miftakes of that Calculation, upon the Authority 
 of which you have had the Affurance to treat a Set of Gen¬ 
 tlemen of Subftance and Reputation, like fo many Sharpers 
 giving their daily Attendance in Committee, to take in ig¬ 
 norant People upon fuch Lays, as you reprelent to be ex¬ 
 ceedingly fraudulent and difadvantagious. 
 
 But before I do this, in order to lliew my good Nature 
 and Difpofition to agree with you as far as poffible, I lhall 
 allow you to take it for granted, thatinluring Sets of iz, 
 24, 48, or 96 Tickets, at different Prices, is equally ad¬ 
 vantageous to the Company. Though, by the by, I can 
 venture to allure you, that they make a greater Adantage 
 by infuring the higher Sets, than an equal Number of 
 Tickets in the lefler Parcels. But as I have neither Leifure 
 ror Inclination to go through with thole great Computa¬ 
 tions, I cannot acquaint you what is the exa£t Diffe¬ 
 rence, nor is it at all material to our prefent Purpofe. I 
 
I {hall therefore proceed to examine your Calculation 
 of the Advantage made by the Company in inluring the 
 Sets of n Tickets. Every one of thefe, you fay, is 
 entitled to two Benefits, and therefore, you fuppofe, that 
 they Jhall happen to be drawn exactly two Benefits in a 
 Set , upon which Suppofition your whole Computation 
 entirely depends. 
 
 By my Calculation, the whole Number of Chances upon 
 n Tickets, for drawing either all Blanks, or any Number 
 of Prizes not exceeding 12, is nearly 1177,000000. 
 
 Out of thefe the Number of Chances for 7 
 drawing all Blanks is S x 44 > 000000 
 
 For drawing only one Prize ' 586,000000 
 
 Only two Prizes 645,000000 
 
 Three Prizes, or more 701,000000 
 
 From which it appears, that 1 have almofl; as great a 
 Number of Chances for drawing only one Prize in iz Tick¬ 
 ets, as for drawing only two; and that I have a greater 
 Number of Chances for three Prizes or upwards, than for 
 two only Confequently you might more probably have 
 fuppos’d, that a Proprietor of 11 Tickets Ihould have had 
 three Prizes or more, than only two. By which the Rea¬ 
 der will eafily judge, what Strefs is to be laid upon a Com¬ 
 putation, that has no better Support, than luch a Suppofition, 
 
 Having laid this Foundation, for want of a better, y ou 
 proceed to tell us, There are 1711 Sets , that will happen 
 with one Brize of 10 1, and one of 15, or a greater in 
 each Set, and there will be 11334 Sets, that will happen 
 with two 10 1 . Benefits in each Set. 
 
 B 
 
 This 
 
This I fee no manner of Reafon for ; for admitting that 
 there fhall always happen two Benefits in each Set of ix 
 Tickets, yet certainly it will fometimes fall out, that two 
 Prizes of xy l. or upwards, fhall arife in the fame Set. 
 From which it follows, that there will be fewer than 17x1 
 Sets, that fhall happen with a Prize of 10 l. and a greater, 
 and more than 11334 Sets that fhall have two Benefits of 
 10 l. each ; and as often as this happens, the Infurers mull: 
 pav to the Adventurer 1 61 . infteadof 1 /. in order to make 
 up his Sum of 3 61 . 
 
 This you feem in fome meafure fenfible of in the third 
 Article of your Computation, where you confider what 
 the Infurers will have to pay to the Adventurers upon thofe 
 Sets of Tickets, in which a xy/. Prize fhall come up with 
 one of 10/. For there you tell us, that fuppofe all the 
 xyl. Prizes fall out fo> (which is very improbable , for 
 fome may and will happen with a greater ‘Prize) there 
 can btit 1408 happen fo , which , as the Company in this 
 cafe is to pay to the Adventurers but 1 /. upon each Set, 
 will amount to but 1408 l. 
 
 This indeed is very true, but then from the very Reafon 
 that you here give, why this Article can rife no higher 
 than 1408 /. it follows that the next ought to be confider- 
 ably enlarged, fincefor every xor. that you take from this 
 Head on account of axy l. Benefit coming up with a greater 
 Prize, you ought to add 1 61 . to the next, as has been al¬ 
 ready fnewn. 
 
 From this it appears, that even upon your own Suppo- 
 fition of two Prizes arifing in every Set of ix Tickets, a 
 confiderable Deduction muft be made from the y3ooo/. 
 
 which 
 
which you allow the Company for Profit. And if we re¬ 
 ject this Suppofition as arbitrary and unreafonable, it will 
 lometimes fall out, that four or five of the fmall Prizes 
 lhall arife in the fame Set, as likewife that one of the 
 greater Prizes lhall fometimes fall in with one or two more 
 of the fame, or at lead with two or three of the fmaller 
 ones. In all which Cales the Fortunate will be Gainers, 
 and the Company mult makegood the Deficiency to thofe 
 Adventurers who want their Proportion. 
 
 You own indeed, to do you Juftice, that it is not Ma¬ 
 thematically pojfible for the Benefit Tickets to arifie fo 
 jufily, as you had before luppos’d; but then you tell us, 
 that what Benefits fall Jhort in one Set , will exceed in ano¬ 
 ther. Which Reafon is fo far from doing you any Ser¬ 
 vice, that it is the very Foundation of my Argument againft 
 you. For where the Benefits exceed in any Set, the Ad¬ 
 vantage is generally the Proprietors, and the Company is 
 oblig’d to makegood the Lois, where-ever they falllhort. 
 
 You come now to confider the Matter more exactly, 
 and to make it as plain as poffible to every common ‘Vn- 
 derfianding , to prevent ‘People's being gull'a of their Mo¬ 
 ney , and becoming Bubbles , as the ufual Term is amongft 
 Gamefiers. In order to which, you premife the Company’s 
 fecond Set of Propofals, whereby the Adventurers are to 
 pay 1 6 /. ioj. Infurance-Money for every Set of iz Tick¬ 
 ets, to allow the Company no Pramium out of the Prizes, 
 and ro keep their Tickets in their own Hands. Your Ob- 
 fervations upon thefe are lb extraordinary, and fo far from 
 being plain to my Underltanding, that, for the fake of thofe 
 Readers who may have more Penetration than my felf, I 
 lhall give them here in your own Words. 
 
[ IO ] 
 
 They tell you. That to accommodate fuch Perfons, who 
 choofe to keep their Tickets in their own Hands, and pay 
 no Praemium on their Prizes, that is, to allow the 5 per 
 Cent, you may pay 27s 6 d. prefent Money each Ticket, 
 that is, 2 s. 6 d. per Ticket, in lieu of the 5- per Cent, on 
 the Prizes : So that then your Infurance of 12 Tickets 
 will coft you 161. 10 s. for which they agree to pay you 
 36 1 . if no Prizes, or if Prizes, to make them ups 61 . that 
 is as much as tofay, they will lay you 19 1, 10 s .to 1 61 . 10 s. 
 which is 13 to 11, that the Adventurer will have one or 
 more Benefits in his Set; if he has none, then they lofe 
 their 19 1. 10 s. for with the 161 . 10 s. they are to pay 
 them for their Infurance, and their 19 1 . 10 s. makes up 
 the 36 1. they are to pay : But if he has any Benefits, 
 they are to have them, to help 'em to make up their 19 I. 
 10 s. So they lay the Adventurer but 13 to n, and take 
 his Benefits, as far as is fufficient, to make up the 19 1. 
 10 s. Whereas, the Bett is, as may eafily be demon ft ra¬ 
 ted, 1932,641711 to 244,140(525’ which is above 7 to 1, 
 that any Adventurer has one or more Benefit Tickets in 
 12 Tickets. How is it pofftble there fioould be fuch Fools 
 to bett their Money with thefe Gentlemen at fuch Difad- 
 v ant age ? For if they had a mind to lay more Money upon 
 the Lottery', they had better go to White\r, or the Groom- 
 Porter \r, where they will find Gentlemen enough will en¬ 
 tertain 'em upon a more moderate Lay ; nay, they’ll be 
 glad to lay 13 to 9, that they have two or more Benefits 
 iit 12 Tickets, and the Adventurer to have the Benefit 
 of his own Prizes, which is much better than 13 to 11, 
 
 This latter part of your Advice, I confefs, is very plain, 
 and very kind to us Citizens, and no doubt every prudent 
 Man among us, that is inclin’d to Gaming, will think him- 
 1 felf 
 
( ” ) 
 
 felf very much oblig’d to you for recommending him to 
 Places, where he may meet with luch civil Ufage. For if 
 the Gentlemen at White's, and the Groom-Torter’s , will 
 take him up, upon his laying 9 to 13, when the Bert is a 
 little more than 8 to 13, it’s plain, that upon equal For¬ 
 tune, and fair Play, he can’t loie full 7 per Cent, of his 
 Money upon every Stake ; whereas this Jharping Commit¬ 
 tee of 'Directors are fo unconfcionable as to lay him no 
 more than 13 to 11, according to your Computation, up¬ 
 on a Bett, where the Odds are above 77 to ii ; by which 
 he mull lofe above 31 per Cent, of his Money, as may 
 eafily be demonftrated. Which makes it very natural in 
 you to wonder, that there Jloould be Juch Fools , as to bett 
 their Money with them upon fuch Difadvantage. 
 
 But my great Difficulty is, that I am perfe&ly ar a lofs, 
 how to Bate the Wager between the Company and the Ad¬ 
 venturers; and therefore, dear Sir, thenext Time you ap¬ 
 pear in Print, be fo kind as to inform me, and the reft of 
 your gentle Readers, how I can lay another Perfon 13 to 
 11 upon a Wager, and yet lofe my Money upon both 
 fides of the Queftion, which, as you have ftated it, feems 
 to be the Company’s Cafe. 
 
 To make this Matter as plain as poffible, I beg leave to 
 put a Cafe or two. I infure iz Tickers with the Compa- 
 panyat 1 61 . ioj. upon their laft Propolals. If I have no 
 Benefit, they pay me 36/. that is, they lofe 19 l 10 s. 
 If I draw a great Prize, or a Number of imall ones to the 
 value of above 361 . they get my 16I. 10 s. and fo far the 
 Thing looks like a Wager. But if this were what you 
 meant, you Ihould have laid the Company would lay 13 to 
 11, that the Adventurer Ihould have one or more Benefits 
 
 C 
 
 in 
 
( 12 ) 
 
 in his Set of iz Tickets to the value of above 3 61 . againd 
 his having no Prize at all, which would make a very diffe¬ 
 rent Wager from that you have flared. 
 
 But let us fuppofc, that I get one Prize of 10 /. only in my 
 Set of iz Tickets. Mufl not the Company then pay me 
 x 61 . ? If they do this, it’s plain they lofe 9 l. 10 s. So 
 that, whether I get no Prize, or only one of 10 /. they 
 mufl be Lofers. If 1 get a Prize of 25- /. they gain indeed, 
 but ’tis only 5 /. 10 s. inflead of 1 6 1. 10 s. which they 
 ought to gain by your Wager. If I get two Benefits of 
 10 /. each, they gain 10 s. If one of 10 /. and one of 
 2.5 l- they g ain *5 k los - if three of 10 /. each, they get 
 10 /. 10 s. So that, of all the feveral Cafes we have put, 
 there is only one for the Company’s lofing 19/. 10 s. and 
 only one for their gaining 1 61 . 10 s. In all the other 
 Cafes they gain or lofe different Sums, aud confequently 
 you have dated the Cafe in the mod ablurd and confus’d 
 manner imaginable, which you had undertaken to make as 
 plain as pojfible to every common ‘Vnderfianding . 
 
 I pafs over your Calculation of what the Chances of the 
 Benefit Tickets are worth taken feparately, againd which I 
 have nothing to objedt. Nor have I much to fay about the 
 Inferences you draw from it, as not feeing how far they 
 can be ufefuland beneficial to the Proprietors, or the con¬ 
 trary. I mud only take notice to you, that, when you 
 fay, the fimall ‘Prizes will be of no Advantage to the 
 Proprietor, in cafe he injures , and that, if he has not a larger 
 ‘Prize, he had better have none , you are guilty of a great 
 Midake. I allow you, that, if his Share of thofe Prizes 
 amount to lefs than 36 l. he may pofiibly be fomething a 
 lofer by theDifcount upon the Prizes; but I beg you will 
 
 confider 
 
( 13 ) 
 
 confider likewife, thar, if he gets fo many of them, as to 
 make up more than 36 /. againft which there is no great 
 Odds, he may be a confiderable Gainer. 
 
 I hope, Sir, by this Time, I have convinced you, or 
 your Readers at leaft, that you are no way qualify’d for 
 thofe great Undertakings you pretend to, of paying the 
 ‘Debts of the Nation, and thereby excelling the Famous 
 Mr. Laws hhnfelf of determining the Chances of Cities 
 and Countries taken , Fleets and Armies destroy'd, or of' 
 Deace andJVar . Which Jail appear to me to depend up¬ 
 on 10 many Caufes not reducible to any Calculus , that, I 
 confefs, I ihould defpair of feeing them brought to any 
 Certainty, though De Moivre himfelf were to undertake 
 the Computation. 
 
 I come now to prefent you with my own Calculation of 
 the Advantage upon infuring Lottery-Tickets, and hum¬ 
 bly hope, that if you difcover any Error in if, you will 
 afford me your charitable Affiftance to fet it to rights, as- 
 you lee I have done by yours. 
 
 I have 244,140625" Chances our of 2176,78x336 for 
 getting no Prize at all in a Set of ix Tickets, lb that the 
 Probability of my getting no Prize may be exprefs’d by

 And accordingly, in the firft Place, in cafe he is inclin’d 
 to inlure his Tickets at Mercers-Hall, I advife him to put 
 in his Tickets in Sets of iz Tickets each, the larger Sets 
 being more to his Difadvantage, than the fmaller. In the 
 fecond Place I caution him to inlure upon the Company’s 
 fall Propofals, thofe being more advantageous to him than 
 the firft, by above f per Cent. Which Advice, I hope, 
 will convince all the World, that I am not brib’d by the 
 Company to this Undertaking. Aud therefore I charge 
 you, as you value the good Opinion of your Readers, not 
 to drop any Infinuation of that kind, in cafe you favour 
 me with an Anfwer.
