number being drawn above 25 is pretty high (my virtual fag-packet calculation makes it about 97.7%).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if he has the same number of customers irrespective of his restriction (which is a bit of a leap) then he&amp;#39;s just going to get clobbered on that remaining 2.26% of draws, and he&amp;#39;ll have his fair share of winners then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br
