Abstract
An approximation for negative binomial sums involving a minimum of arithmetic is presented. Because of the relationship between negative binomial sums and regular binomial sums the approximation can be used for the latter also and for any distribution related to the binomial (such as the beta and F). The accuracy obtained is surprisingly good.
