This is a very interesting article that takes a very deep look at probability. You'll have to read it for yourself and see what you get out of it, the author is emeritus professor of statistics at Cambridge. He is the author of The Art of Uncertainty and How to Navigate Chance, Ignorance, Risk and Luck (Penguin, 2024). My comment, does this wave good bye to a lot of lottery systems and theories?

The article discusses the usage of a probability concept towards complex things, like science or life events. I prefer to use the term likelihood rather than probability in those cases. A lottery drawing is so incredibly simple, there is no question that the probability of an outcome can be calculated precisely. Even for more complex games, such as blackjack, the house edge can be calculated exactly, but only for the first hand of the deck. To estimate the house edge for the average hand
