He must be a very eccentric person, at least judging from his writing.Soo

This is just one statement that she makes that seem to make good street sense but makes no mathematical sense at all because in a 6/49 game there are a total of 13983816 possible combinations and only 44 six consecutive numbers combinations which means there are 13983772 combination that aren't, but the odds of one them

Why is the Pick 3 so popular?Reply
Since the states report pick3 games as their most profitable game, the average payout per dollar taken in must not be any more than any other game. I think pick3 is the perfect game for people who like to gamble everyday and don't expect to get rich. If one makes up a list of 25 combinations, it will have at least several box hits some where in the country every day which makes it look like an easy game to win if you spend enough(spending enough to win doesn't mean you will win more than you sp

I would consider someone successful in this field if they won more than they bet... consistently.... with a reasonably affordable amount of lines to play (reasonably affordable will vary widely by player but I think $5 or $10 is reasonable.)As far as I can see, there has been nobody doing that on even a semi-regular basis. Many people do better than published odds by using more lines than is feasible to play realistically... or the pick 3 for example... all state picks don't count because it's n

A Modest ProposalReply
Forget it. If you don't want to bet .....you don't want to bet. I understand your reluctance. Just remember this......I was willing to put my money(double odds) where my mouth is and you were not. I also said it could be arranged to go to charity.....and make it legal so that's a cop-out. It's just the little comments you make that piss me off. Such as.... If you want to keep trying to devise a predictive system, that's your business. I don't care if you waste your time. I do care if you wa

radarmand, The reason you don't want to search is that it is a rare occurance and I'm glad you at least admit that much. Ever wonder why? Don't you want to know why it's rare ...or..... how often it does occur? https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/87083 Don't you understand that odds don't change but probability does? As far as who challenged whom first......read this thread. I believe that was you ....I know it was. As far as a bet (legal) ....we can donate it to charity.

CA Pick 3 winning combinations Strategy
The California State Lottery uses 2 seprate machines for the Pick 3, Hot Spot and Fantasy 5 lottery games.. One machine uses a random number generator and the other uses a mathematical algorithym. The lottery officials determine which machine to use based on a seperate machine number drawing.Predictability of any winning number combination is surely based on the luck of the draw. There is no program that can anylize past numbers and use those numbers to predict future winning number combinations
