What gives you better odds to win? One time with everything or chances spread out?

With the Xbox360 contest should you put all of your numbers into one drawing or break them up into smaller groups but enter more drawings?

Any stat people out there that know?
 
Well, I remember The Dord (a winner of a 360) made a thread in which he spoke of how he won and used the odds to his advantage -- but I think it was deleted, magically, as I don't see it in his profile or anything like that.

I think people were saying that if you enter, say, twenty codes into one ten minute slot (that doesn't have a lot of entries as it is), and another twenty in the following ten minute slot (that, too, doesn't have a lot of entires), it doubles your chances -- but I'm not so sure about that actually doubling your chances.

I'm just banking up a large number and unleashing them into a slot with 100 or less entries at an obscure time and day. I think I have 30-some unused. I'll probably wait 'til I have over 50.
 
It depends really on how many codes you have. If you have like 10,000 the put them all on one because you will peobably win but if you only have 3 codes then your chances only increase a negligable amount if you pool them together - I'd try 3 separate contests.
 
Chances are you will lose no matter what. So do you go to the blackjack table and bet your 300 bucks on one hand for one big loss or do you make smaller bets so your money last longer, thus bypassing the big disappointment? It's your call. But for what it's worth, I won with 4 codes.
