Determinism vs Randomness and ChanceReply
Jimmy, Inferior minds want to know: Why do you continue to play Powerball and Megamillions twice weekly when YOU know the odds? Why haven't YOU won? With YOUR vast knowledge of the odds, and abilities to calculate the proper trajectory and foot pounds necessary to kill a bear with a thrown tic-tac, is it really asking too much for you win Powerball with a system YOU developed? Have you tried buying a REAL ticket? Is it possible to show you a 'favorite' complete anything, withou

Statistics around the balance of even/odd and small/big numbersReply
Jimmy You know the only ones who reply to your post are me and stack. If we decide to quit then it will be as though you are talking to yourself. The nose dive my system took was in the bayesian predictor which is no longer being used. You are still clueless in stating that I am beathing the odds, I say that the odds are based on the randomness of the drawing and it is the randomness that is in question. My civic duty compaired to the scratchers problem is not comparable, I am li

Excel? How often do the bottom 5 short sums produce hits?Reply
Hi John ....... Good to know you are around to look these things over as well. Much appreciate it. Just started working on a chart ...and put together something here I think all of us will enjoy.....at least since we really began keeping serious records. It has haunted me for a long time that's for sure .....and now it might finally get done. There is a giant disconnect on these short sums and their hit rates. What do I mean? Well....think about this. Odds are Odds....and 10% of the

Statistician cracks secret code behind lottery ticketsReply
No they couldn't buy them out of order, but they could buy all of the tickets to get at them, assuming they thought it was a big enough winner. My favorite game used to be a scratch off named Holiday Gifts. I started keeping detailed statistics about every ticket from every roll that I purchased. For the longest time, I was making a consistent profit, and buying winners at the rate of 1 out of every 2 tickets I bought at that store. It was a relatively slow store, and I simply let other custo

Turn a Lottery Post loser into a Powerball WinnerReply
I don't feel anyone really got the meaning of this post - obviously by eliminating numbers or groups of numbers - you narrow down your pool - increasing your odds of trapping the right number when it falls within the restraints. While at the same time assuring you won't hit when it fails to fall within the restraints. But the real point was to examine how it's possible to decrease the number playable combinations, while also increasing the odds someone from a group would hit the right number.

Heads or TailsReply
There are 8 possible outcomes when a coin is flipped three times. HHH or TTT -- same side showing up 3 times in a row HHT or TTH HTH or THT THH or HTT The odds of a fair coin showing the same side three times in a row are 2 in 8, or 25%. Two more flips (total of five) brings the odds to 2 in 32 (6.25%, which is less than 10%) of showing the same side 5 times in a row.

$330 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears record highReply
KY Floyd Let's imagine the lotery sells 1 ticket for each of the 175,711,536 possible combinations. If 17,571 people buy 100 tickets each they'll cover 1,757,100, or a hair under 1% of the possible combinations... You are assuming that of those 17,571 people buying 100 tickets each there are no duplicates. You can't assume anything in lotto. ____________________________________ Any + game (i.e., 5 + 1) is actually two lotteries in one. First you have to have the 5 numbers drawn on

Ga Lottery Is A Cheat!! Specialy The $ 20 Tickets ,Printing Money With Blank Tickets !!Reply
I love all of you one post wonders. I think this poster is a bed-wetting blithering idiot. Did you even complete all 12 years of your government education? I want you to show me one thing that the government has done better than the private sector. Just give me one example, and I will hand you the keys to my car. You stupid foolish liberals, you actually believe that companies are evil if they make a profit. Do you actually think that if something is run by the government that it is actually fre

Do not get burned by this service station!Reply
Don't believe everything you hear on here. Un-cashed lottery scratch tickets belong to the purchaser of the books. If a seller goes out of business the lottery claims all their equipment any moneys due to them they may reimburse the seller for unsold lottery tickets to clear their debt with them. Stores that sell lottery enter into a partnership with the lottery for ticket sales. Some and i mean some places might get scratchoffs on consignment. As far as i know the lottery might ship bo

Harry Reid pushing to legalize online poker for American casinos, horse tracksReply
Bush had signed a law making transfers from banks to online gambling sites illegal. I am supposing that Reid is mainly interested in getting these casinos online because its what they want and if he wants their support this is a good way to get it. It would be good for anyone who wanted to play online because of not only the ease of it but because you can get better odds. Lets face it the pay lines that the states are using are obscene, they really should be paying out more given the odds.
