Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
Of course..... he's promoting a person agenda lol. He's just using mathemtical proof, and provable concepts, to explain the nature of these games. Your silly argument about thosands of groups of numbers matching multiple drawings holds no bearing over the odds. What you're explaining is basically innevitable to find those patterns in a fair game, which no combo has better odds. If you guys don't get that, it's not our problem, nor is it his. You guys are just chasing a silly drea

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
I've never taken Jimmy or his math serious because it's all based on his personal agenda. He refuses to acknowledged thousands of groups of 28 numbers will always match five numbers in five consecutive drawings to promote his views it's impossible for some number combos to get better odds. We're just exploring the possibilities of using a statistical fact to occasionally get better odds. Jimmy gave the results of his Monte Carlo simulation. He claimed there were a few lucky players that don't

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
Wait a sec! I knew I recognized those odds. Isn't that the chart for the odds in a 5/56 lotto game with one ticket? How does that actually relate to lotto? Not to mention that it's closer to 1:1.6, 2:1 is with some exetreme rounding.

Divided WheelingReply
Wonderful idea splitting a large group of numbers into two smaller wheels, if your goal is to win 3 number prizes. Terrible idea if your target is a jackpot due to the poor odds of getting all the winning numbers onto one half or the other. The odds are the same as an all even all odd or all low or all high draw for the same number of numbers and the you still have to get all six on one line. BobP

Post your scratch ticket resultsReply
That VA ticket sounds like floridas BDB. Impossible to scratch. I dont buy the hot / cold story either. Other tickets scratch just fine. On a side note, I won $90 on $3 Bingo Night. I only bought 5 tickets too! I looked up the odds and its 1 in 6000 for $90. jee I can hit those but I can find a 1 in 195 Nugget ???? I call BS on the odds......

Do some number combinations have better odds?Reply
I'm actually quite for maximizing your value out of the lottery when you play. That is - to play combinations that have a higher expected return. I've already explained how that's possible, even if you can't beat the games edge completely - and how it's really only possible to any significant degree in parimutual games. And of course, it's impossible for flat payout games. Your claim that you had 10 times better odds has been refuted, and you claim it as fact. It clearly isn't, but you d

How many V-tracks?Reply
There are many ways to compose such vtracs. You propose to follow one and be happy. I won't get stuck to one or two and am busy putting together the pieces. The main point after defining your vtrac is to analyse how to apply. That is where the system really plays. It is all about taking decisions. It is obvious in a game like roulette that you can reduce 37 straight bets to 6 or 7 bets, or even 3 bets. That is not the point! The point is to find what the future outcome will be! With a rounded

Are the base jackpots really too low??Reply
I don't think anyone really thinks an amount is too low. Rather, they think it's too low based on what other games are at. SuperLotto is lower than MM so I can't use that as an example so I'll use Texas. Lotto Texas is at a CVO of $13m, compared to the MM which is at $13.6m. The obvious choice there is to play for the Texas Lotto as the amount is essentially the same but you have much better odds with the state game (1:25,827,165 compared to 1:175,711,536). I'm in the same boat as you in

No, see you guys are missing the point. The odds weren't reduced. Because any one of the other numbers (not from the 28) could have showed up. I don't get why you think crossing them off the list affects the machine that selects them. But if you think just taking them off a list reduces your odds, whatever, I give up. That's inherently fallicous, but whatever.

My sentence should have read hundreds of millions of tickets, not draws. And since you're playing roughly 100,000 tickets, I really don't think it would take more than 200-300 draws to get there (so like 2 or 3 years) but for a much more certain result I'd say at least 1000. I'm not actually gonna go pull out a statistics book to find the confidence interval math, b/c it's not like you'd believe it anyway. The point is that you'r assuming that you will definetely have a windfall if you b
