How do I prove my state lottery's CGNs are fixed?Reply
Strange, seems contradictory to the poll you started, State lottery discovered corrupt! From what I can read in the poll/topic, it appears we'd have something in common. However, this reply seems to say otherwise. Hmmm...

Heads or TailsReply
Teamprofit's poll question specifically refers to a progressive bet on TAILS, which led me to assume that's what was being discussed throughout the thread. However, what you say here is correct.

Quick Picks can't match the power of Self PicksReply
It's not at all meaningless, and though you seem to have missed it, by bringing up election polls you're acknowledging with my point. Election polls typically look at thousands of voters. A poll of a few hundred has a margin of error that's bigger than the split in typical elections, and therefore offers no useful information. If you want statistics that are valid you'll need to look at a few thousand QP's and self picks side by side.

Mathematics and the LotteryReply
the consensus of the poll is the math exists...but where in the book is it...i have an idea but why fight to prove to so many people who only play devils advocate that it exists...it is not new math, but new computers... if you did not have a brand new computer when you were a kid then you will NEVER be able to find a new math...is a computer a new math? no its a new calculator...if you want to use a calculator, you can use A+ or some other dumb pick generator... you can use excel.

Now that I have 1,000 views in three days I got the 5 G's. And 0.97% of viewers voted on your poll; that's a very impressive figure and should be worth at least 10 G's!

What I meant in the second statement was you seem to get off by continuesly insisting that people who play the lottery using some sort of system suffer from a fallacy which is rooted in not having the nessary math skills or understanding. Those who do have the math skills then must suffer some sort of psychological disorder by trying to out perform the odds. If a person does come out ahead then they are fooling themselves thinking that they somehow had a possitive effect when it was a not

Modular Arithmetic Visually ExplainedReply
Using modulo function on pick3 game would be mod(10) since there are 10 numbers. On your data manipulation any result that is greater than 9 will wrap around. For example: pick3 lotto math for addition 6+7=3. To do this in excel using modulo function would be =mod((6+7),10) The same concept can be applied to any lotto game. Another example using pick5 from a poll of 36 numbers would be =mod((x+y),36). Thus if x+y 36 ,the result will wrap around.
