Painful lossesReply
Gary Does loss of sanity count, I would volt PB and MM because of the odds, I don't know why anyone would even play these games. PowerBall with it's 1 in 195 million plus odds is a black hole and Mega Millions the same. You could play $100.00 worth of tickets for each draw and it would take you 19,142 years to purchase enought tickets to win based on the odds however even if you could purchase all these tickets over this amount of time you would have never had more then a 1 in 1,9

$6000 straights in IowaReply
I like the way Massuchsettes' game is. Especially the pari-mutual 63%, and kind of the actual game. I'd wanna play like this.... 0123 012x 013x 023x 123x x012 x013 x023 x123 All box. If you got all 4 numbers right, you'd get a pretty nice prize, and if you had 3 right you still get a pick 3 box. Of course that's a 4.50 cent box bet. I also like how you can pick pretty much any type of bet to play. If only Pick 3 and Pick 4 games allowed us

A Leisurely Look At Horses And Their Human AssociatesReply
Hey Jimmy, Welcome back, sorry with the inadverdent slow reply but biz has kept me busy + weekend racing $$$ selections. Your writing proves you are an earnest investigator. With that in mind permit me to share som further straight forward thoughts to save the talk- mind you I am not intending to change your way of thinking. Players do overcome the odds 1% table games 2 % racing/sports books. Is beimg done but not with conventionals systems or math as the game providers do not intentona

What is a lottery system? What distinguishes a lottery system from guesses, dreams and quick picks?Reply
Stack I been trying to catch up with this post. Here's what I don't understand, If QP's are better then SP's then where's the math to prove it. We self pickers are asked to prove our picks are better by people who offer no proof to support their claim. Hmmmm. Maybe we should be asking what makes a QP so darn good and what is the math behind it. Maybe we can get them to post there QP before the drawing and we will see how well they do. I would tell them to keep the dollar in there

Forbes: Tonight's $312M Mega Millions lottery is a sound investmentNews Story
Editor's Note: Tonight's $312 million Mega Millions drawing takes place at 11:00 pm Eastern Time (8:00 pm Pacific Time). The winning numbers will be published at USA Mega (www.usamega.com) and at Lottery Post's Lottery Results page. Playing the lottery is a fool's errand. Everyone knows it's a losing gamble, that the house wins and that, especially as jackpots increase, the odds of winning are slightly lower than the odds of getting struck by lightning twice. (Just ask this guy.) In tonight's

Determinism vs Randomness and ChanceReply
Jimbo! Dude! Homey! El Diablo! You answered half the questions. Or maybe one. I can't remember. Either way, you answered what you answered and that's good enough for me. No, I don't live off lottery winnings. I wouldn't want to work that hard! Tracking numbers, marking Xs on paper and filling out playslips would take too much time away from playing fetch, which, with a black lab, the odds are very much like playing lottery. I'll never throw that kong one more time than he will retrieve it,
