You know as far as Wining at Lotto: Luck vs. Intelligence goes, this thread sure has me wondering why no one here using that intelligence has ever got lucky and hit a big jackpot!

Her picture don't do her justice tiggs but then a face like hers don't need justice, it needs mercy.

When she smiles it kinda puts me in mind of the great outdoors and falling leaves cuz her teeth look like a rake.

She's a little on the plump side too, tiggs. People round here say she's so fat it takes three dogs to bark at her.

So keep that in mind.

No, my Keno winnings add up to about $800 . So I'm still in the red.

But the reason why I've been doing this is developing a working method.

It's a work in progress.

Many of us on this board, consider this a study and a learning process.

and I don't think that there is a method or system that works all the time.

It's like trying to learn a Dance that changes every minute. sometimes you get it right and sometimes you don't!

I believe everything that exists is the direct result of prior intelligence (a mind behind the creation).

On one side, we have the balls, the machine, the numbers on the balls, the person spinning the wheel, etc.

All are the result of prior intelligence.

On the other side, we have the lottery slip, the person (mind) filling in the bubbles, the ticket itself, the money for the ticket, etc.

Again, all are the result of prior intelligence.

Let's hope that 23 wins was a good payoff cause a dollar a day for 3 years is over 1000.00..Good LUCK the rest of the year because that's what it is is luck..

I've been playing Keno for about 3 years now

Just a dollar a Day is how much I've spent (usually)

and I usually play one combination of hand-picked numbers (usually spot 5)

I have had 23 wins so far..mostly small ones. and numerous hits that didn't result in a payout..

I must say that I enjoy sniping numbers with only one shot! and I do believe that my wins were the result of Intelligence at work.

Lotto winners have stories to tell, when we listen to what they say;we agree that maybe it was their good FATE reward.I have played many years and never had 5 of 6# or 5 numbers in a 5number game. 30 years later I still play to win and I will have my good Fate story to tell. I also wonder if one has to be prepared to win big money at one time; I can recall instances where the winner ends up being a victim of misfortune,so you wonder did that person really win.

Bee that as it may, the day I start bowing down at the Alter of Luck that is the day I stop playing this game-

I have Played Pick-3 and Pick-4 long enough to know that most of my wins had nothing to do with Luck and a lot to do with how well I was taught by my mother and Grandmother in what to look for and how to be a keen observer of the digits and it's Patterns..

Not always. In millions of instances, luck is luck and that is that. Take someone who is going to go to a casino and studies up on a game. They get to the table and get slaughtered while someone who doesn't have a clue walks away with a score.

A 36 year old good looking blonde was at a roulette table. A hi-roller present was on a winning streak and gave her two $100 chips and said bet your age . She put the chips on 26 and passed out when the ball landed on 36.

Still in order for you to have the winning raffle ticket you need the lucky raffle ticket so there is luck involved...The lottery don't need luck they are winners before any drawing..

Stack47 — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 16:31:44 GMT

State lotteries have raffles where they know for a fact before the drawing, some players will win $1 million. While you may consider the winners very lucky, the fact remains, somebody was going to win.

Why would scientists even examine luck as being a force when they know for a fact some players were going to $1 million

Stack47 — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 16:24:51 GMT

Poker skills are about reading the other players, knowing how to play your hand, and understanding the odds. The best player in the World can get unlucky with bad beats but overall their skills will allow them to win more than they lose. The World Series of Poker is known for the main event where this years winner got over $8 million. He isn't a top pro and it's actually been years since a top pro has won the main event but the World Series of Poker consists of over 50 tourneys and you'll find t... [ More ]

Luck and intelligence guarantee nothing. They are at best factors like skill and knowledge. Starting places in the various rat races we all run in every day.

When your wheel gives you four or five winning numbers on one line, it is luck that takes you to six.

Think about it. 6/49 and you have five of the numbers, that's 1 in 44, not bad odds really yet there are draws with plenty of five number winners and no jackpot winner. Almost as though there are limits to casual luck, that take... [ More ]

We all know about the Luck part.But what about the Intelligence?

How much of a role does Intelligence play in winning at the Lotto? (what percentage?)

You dont have to chase the lottery to show you are intelligent, an intelligent person will not chase the lottery instead he/she will push for legislation so as create a nice game that anyone can try and win be created...Yeah if you crack the lottery you might go in history as one exceptionally intelligent person like a genius, but many

But we have to remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder pumpi.

What you consider beautiful and what tiggs considers beautiful maybe two different things.

For instance, tiggs likes wimmins with hairy legs and mustaches. Do you?

Fully agree.

I play in Lottos 649 and noticed long, long ago that there are patterns in numbers, despite all the randomization. I analyse these patterns for short term trends and apply statistical methods for selecting numbers that are more likely to be drawn in the near future (believe it or not it's possible). Since I've started doing that my luck significantly improved. It looks to me that good number prediction methods and luck are somehow connected.

I believe in luck.

I also believe that random numbers can develop patterns which if carefully studied, noted and strategically applied, can enhance your luck to a degree.

Regarding poker, years ago there was actually a court case in California about if poker was a game of skill or not, and the decision was it was indeed a game of skill. The reasoning was that if a given number of people played continuously for the same number of hours they would have ben dealt an equal number of good and bad hands and it is how they played those hands that decided the winner.
