Hi,

I'd say....Don't worry about all the math being thrown at you until it proves something. Ever run across someone who tries to use alot of big words but doesn't really know what they mean? Go and grow with your own system, bet reasonably, and improve your system by using elements your comfortable with and that pan out against historical facts. I'm not going to say that I'm absolutely right and that everyone else is wrong......It's just one opinion.....take it or leave it....your choic... [ More ]

We have mathamatical equations listed here under many different threads, on basically a gambling website. No, it's not absolute - mathamatical results are, but picking winning numbers is not, but as you said - and as I have said in the past - it points us in a direction. But lots of things point us in a direction, ya picks yer poisons.

Math is what it is, it can help you, it can clarify things for you, it can point you in a direction, but it cannot, however, pick numbers for you.

At this point in my life, most of my math skills are fairly rusty, but I find the presentation of mathematical analyses to be helpful, interesting, and challenging. Much thanks to JADELottery, johnph77, and all the other math adepts.

There is math, and then there is gambling. Math doesn't gamble, math quantifies. Math gives us interest rates, decay rates, probability, the area of a circle, the speed of a train, the length of a footbal field. It can't predict the future, it may get us close, but it is not absolute, if it was, there would be no lottery. No matter what, every time you make a bet, it is a gamble.

You both have good points, and I apologize.

It's under the 'Mathematical' forums for a reason, I shouldn't even be here.

Do I have a clue what any of these posts mean ? Nope.

Will I ever ? Nope.

What is the level of my math expertise ? I'd tell you, but you wouldn't believe me.

I can do 'computer math' as well as anyone, binary, octal, hex, that's about it.

I sure wasn't expecting anyone to hold my hand and lead me thru these equations, all I was

wondering is what... [ More ]

Patience is part of the equation. Good luck on explaining all of facts given.. Giving examples of numbers and seeing proof that the system works is what most want before learning it. Which is reasonable. I consider the mathematic section here at LP is for those who are math minded.. It is good excercise for the brain..

The same with the Phimatrix.. excellent.

As i've said in another post, All I ask is have patients.

I'm not tying to upset anyone or try to make everyone feel like simpletons.

I'm releasing this information in this way for those who do have the mathematical background to understand it.

Sorry about the replys though, sometimes people get a little too impatient and want all the answers just laid at their feet.

It's going to take time to explain so everyone can use the information.

JADE - all I am saying is, help us out.

Almost nobody understands what you are doing, judging by the lack of replies under most of your threads.

Give us some examples of what you are trying to convey so us simpletons might get a clue.

It isn't that I don't 'like' what I see at all, I just don't understand how to apply it to the possibility of projecting

number choices, that's all.

Plug some real numbers in and make some projections for tonight's Powerball or next week's P... [ More ]

Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG):

log(1 - DC)

N = ----------------

log(1 - p)

DC=Degree of Certainty

p=Probability

N=Number of Trials

There actually is a 2+2 Method called Grandma's Two Plus system

This was taken directly from the book. (which I have no idea since it no longer have a cover or back - old and dogeared) I use the chart that came it and it is a section of a complete book.

The method used to calculate this system is easily expressed. We begin with the number two (2), then add 2 plus 2 which equals four (2+2=4); finally, we extend this equation to include one last factors and place them together. Subsequen... [ More ]

you're right though, 2 + 2 isn't necessarily 4 when:

When one of the 2's is imaginary, then it's 2 + 2i.

When one of the 2's is hyper-infinite, I = 1 / 0, then 2 + 2I.

When the 2's are a color, then 2r + 2g = 2y or 2r + 2b = 2m or 2g + 2b = 2c.

nice observation.

SORRY, but with all these algebraic mumbo-jumbo threads that 98% of us don't understand - what they are and how they work, let alone how they might pertain to lottery choices, I thought I'd post a tongue-in-cheek thread.........

Have a good day everyone.
