Not lotto, but regarding systems, I've seen this one dressed up as many different things, and a great example of sell the sizzle, not the steak.

The system is simply the old doulbre up to catch up. In the business these are known as Martingales, and those that sell them never tell people about house limits, that kill such systems.

One of the first hype jobs I saw on this was a seller in the Bahamas who created a yarn abiut his parents escaping from cuba and not having anything ldeft to pay... [ More ]

LOL!! I included that comment because it is how the lotto con artists escape prosecution for selling systems so bogus even system buyers become PO'd enough to try and turn the con men in. That's why I said mathematical because I believe there are other ways of improving one's chances that can not be proven or are balanced mathematically so no gains can be demonstrated yet are clear to anyone who gives it a fair review. Say you notice draws swing from trending high to trending low, never know wha... [ More ]

When it comes to lottery, remember the only mathematical way to improve your odds of winning is to buy more unique tickets. Any system that causes you to buy more unique tickets IS improving your odds of winning something.

Sales pitch sells.

Think of Robin Leach pumping up the guy living the lifestyle of the rich and famous with $100.00 in his pocket.

One of the reasons for this is the medical profession is also full of quacks.

From Chuck Shepherd's News of the Weird:

Under Britain's Depertment of Health guidelines, prisoners about to be released, and who had previously taken drugs but cured their addiction while incarcerated, are being purposely re-addicted by wardens. According to researchers, the former addicts will then be less likely to overdose when they get back on the street. Reportedly, more then 460 prisoners have been r... [ More ]

CT, the problem with all those pro's is that there are also cons which are never discussed. These marketers feed on people's hope and desperation and this is what sells stuff like that. There is only a small percentage of things on this Earth which are all good with no bad. In this same respect, too much of anything is not good for you.

Everything has its' drawbacks...everything.

You know it seems that whatever the biggest fear craze is at the moment the someones will put together a solution . Most of the time it is not the product that sells but the wording that is used in telling what the product will do. For example, erase wrinkles , roll back the clock at least 5-10 years , no more trying to figure out what #s to play , this system takes the guess work out of selecting #s , end the fear of losing forever! (well maybe not forever, but most of the time) LOL! Whatever t... [ More ]

I'm putting this in Discussions because it's not about any particular system, the mechanics of any system, and not even about lotto, per se, but the mentality behind this is what system sellers know.

This is from Chuck shepherd's News of the Weird:
