I assume you want an update on DLM...I hit 4/6 on Florida Lotto Wednesday after adding a new feature to my application which is showing promise. I am also working on the columns issue and have found a new way to incorporate column ranges into DLM.Of course, the key would still be playing more picks per game to be effective but I limit myself to 20 per drawing - breaking even or better.I am feeling more confident with my system and will have a pool web site later this week.Tom DempseyQuote: Origi...

UCI1This is what works for me:-In a 6/49 Lotto it is possible in 8 Draws for all numbers bar 1 to have appeared once. They don't of course but you use this figure to decide on your short term occurrences. About 10 is the goer for this Lotto game.Within say the 10 Draws occurrences of 3 or more are Hot, 2 Warm and 1 Luke (no, not the Bible Luke but as in Lukewarm.) In the previous Draw is Prior and Outside the 10 Draws is Cold.Combined with this you have your long term Occurrences. (In 49 Draws i... [ More ]

Professional gambler? That's an oxymoron if I ever heard of one.About formulas. Formulas, by their very nature, don't work well because each draw, though admittedly interconnected, is still an individual dvent. The mystics believe there is a kernel of truth in every experience. The trick is to collect these kernels and make sense of them.Formulas, professional gamblers, easy short-cuts . . . these are the lures that take your money and drive you crazy.Orangeman

On the professional gablers topic:I once saw a documentary on television about a belgian professional gambler who earns heaps of money with it. The only game he played was Blackjack by counting the cards.The only problem for those wanting to become pro gamblers is that you already have to be rich before you begin. If you are not, you are gonna need a lot lot lot lot of luck to survive. This guy I'm talking about already had a big fortune before becoming a pro gambler.I believe that's reality... [ More ]

for lotto games, i play (not in any particular order) one set of birthdays, a few quick picks, and then a set or two of whatever numbers come to me that i think will hit.

DoctorEw220 — Mon, 24 May 2004 06:10:22 GMT

that seems understandable, except for the hot and cold numbers. i usually play my pick 3 combinations based on when they hit last. granted i've seen a pick 3 and a pick 4 combination hit on consecutive drawings, but i think the lottery secretly will sometimes pick combinations that have not hit in a while. it took PA a good long time to draw 214.
