[Wow, I never heard of that one. I wonder how they figured it out - although it would probably look pretty funny every time the person got a shock! ] ....toddtodd, i guess it would depend on what the jumper cables were connected to (lol). the shoe's contraption was actually a mini computer (forgot to mention that). the shoe scam was only one of many. it was pretty interesting how they even catch these guy's. i will let you know if i catch that documentry again and see if they have anyth...

can you carry your lap top to the craps table? i did see a documentary about all the things that people did in las vegas to cheat. some pretty high tech stuff. like with the card game 21 these guy's would use these contraptions in their shoes that would enable them to keep track of the cards in the deck as they were dealt. they would tap their shoes so many times on the floor commensurate with the cards drawn. the device had the ability to give the cheater a little shock that would let t...

Hey George,I'll bet with your knowledge and ability to calculate odds, you'd make a great craps player! I totally love playing craps, but one of my favorite ways -- betting against the roller -- requires the ability to quickly calculate odds and lay the correct bet.

sedertree, thank's for setting me straight . even though i don't understand exactly how these games work, i fully realize that your picks are ahead. personally, i like being behind . i always like the odds against me. the higher and longer the odds are, the better. i am not predicting anything here, but it would be funny (at least to me) if i came from behind to win the challenge with my random picks. we still have alot of month to go yet. anyway i have a question. since your first n...

VisionDude,I know you're probably just having some fun.First, I want you to know that I'm not posting this with malicious intent towards you.The odds of hitting a straight pair is 1/100...Since the lottery has a 50% house edge you must hit a straight pair within 50 Draws. This is using one number only. Since we are using 8 picks for this challenge: One Formula100 / 8 = 12.5 DrawsTo make a profit from straight pairs you must beat the house edge by hitting within 6.25 draws. We are at Day 11 righ...

Well, George, we both had it right just in reverse order....390 came in and 1337 for Michigan....dang..........I really thought 073 had the edge.

I noticed Larry has your numbers in his workout today also....I believe that he has 073 in that order, too............I just got back from the store...I bought 073, 296 and 1 easy pick for the mega millions............I am always 1 off so I betcha one of yours will come in........What people don't realize is we are all independent of each other. I make it a point never to look at yours or Larry's numbers till mine are done. Wow, all 3 of us matched.......good sign.
