Non-Mathematical tracking chartReply
Bottom line - it's a 'to each his own' situation. Agreed. Reading your methods just makes me really 'confurious' at times. This is my own word I constructed and have applied for a patent. If you Google this word, it will come up but it's comprised of the words confused and furious. My version combines confused and curious. Only minor changes are required to 'legally' create one's own patent. In my opinion, just about every method posted here involves a great amount of mathematics, odds, p

U.S. Supreme Court overturns federal sports-wagering banReply
Bookies aren't going to like this at all. At some point in the late 1980s Delaware flirted with sports betting. Instead of going to the actual lines makers though they had state employees guess at what the odds should be. Word of this got out in Nevada and wise guys were flying to Delaware to profit from the skewed odds, and profit they did. This will get interesting if it catches on though. It's said that the point spread only affects 1% of football games. Most people who bet it say t

What do you know about "normal statistical distribution"?Reply
therefore 1/3 : 2/3 ratio is already good enough It depends on how precise is good enough. For the number of unique numbers that are most likely when rolling a die 6 times it's plenty close enough, because anything between .59 and .74 will get you the correct answer of 4 when you round to the nearest whole number. By the time you get to a roulette wheel with odds of 1 in 36 it's only good enough if you're happy with an answer that's close, but not correct. For a roulette wheel with 36 po

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Hey TikiMan, Nice run on the GR #1249...those 100s are nice and the $500s really help the bankroll. Glad your running good on that game. As far as EMTAdam goes, it was just a matter of time before someone on this forum got sick of the lies and phony jackpot claims. Guess i just had enough of it all and decided to express my views and see what happens. On a much more interesting subject, you posted some nice info on $5 scratch off #1338 CR....odds of 1.32M to 1 to hit $250k which given 60

Gaming the lottery was this couple's retirement planReply
Great article! Thanks for posting it. As for it incidentally showing how purchasing a huge number of tickets doesn't get you a jackpot even in a statistically easy game, check out lottoreport's ticket comparison page 16,381,736 tickets were sold for last night's Mega Million's draw. Nobody won obviously. The article's point was that having a rolldown week drawing with no jackpot winner gave you a $1 ticket that statistically was worth more then $1.00. That was Jerry's Eureka moment. It's n

How much is enoughReply
bobby, I tend to agree with you in your initial post. You're putting way too much thought into the game in general but, when I see where you mention a $5200 winning ticket, it all becomes null and void if that's accurate. I mean, you just don't fix what's not broken. Know what I mean? To be clear and honest, though, I question the total investment up until that particular win happened. That said, I believe you had maybe a 1/10 of that $5200 invested which makes it a top notch win. But, how repea

Michigan Lottery's gamble on new website doesn't pay off on first tryReply
I also noticed that they ruined the past winning numbers interface. On the old website you could enter a range of dates and display the winning numbers for several draws. On the new website the interface is a calendar and you have to click on each date. So if you missed a week of draws you can no longer see the whole week at a time and you have to click several times to get all seven days one at a time...I guess this was done to discourage people from buying multiple draw tickets. In Michi

$445 MILLION: Mega Millions raises jackpot on huge salesReply
what are the odds of someone winning both jackpots in the same week? Most mathematicians would probably tell you that it's 1 in 88,412,922,115,818,300 (or 0.000000000000001131% if you prefer), which may or may not be the correct answer. Somebody with a better grasp might say there really isn't a correct answer. It is the correct answer if the question is what are the chances that one specific person will buy one ticket for each game and win both. If it's about one specific person and the

I am CONVINCED only way you WIN BIG if they let you win!Reply
The set of winning numbers is a subset of the set of winning formats. Therefore, if you pick the winning numbers, you have also picked the winning format (which is what you are saying with One day I may guess the winning format and pick the exact winning numbers. ) But since there is no prize for picking the winning format but not the winning numbers -- i.e. {winning formats} minus {winning numbers} -- it means nothing. In Roulette, you can actually bet on formats (which is not what it's c
