Systems say don't play like this....Reply
Odds don't change .....but the probability does. If the fla Pick 3 game had its normal draw on Monday and the result was 123...... The next day before the draw .....the odds for 123 would be the same as Monday .....but the probability would not be the same. If the the draws were 123 on Monday ....and 123 on Tuesday ..... the odds would not change just because it was now Wednesday morning. The odds would be the same as they had been all week.

How to Beat Powerball: And drastically reduce the odds (theory)...Reply
I said: If you divide 56,473.5 by 30 that would have given you 1882.4, multiplied by 15 HED/LED types (i said 15 to be on the safe side but i think is more than that, i think you would have eliminated like 20 HED/LED types leaving you with 10) that you would have been left with it would have been 28,236.7 and with 1 ticket your odds would have been 1 in 28,236.7 and not 1 in 150 million... Or if you had divided the 18,215 by 30 that would have given you 607.2 multiplied by 15 HED/LED typ

Need Help..Va's Cash5..25 cents..
I will greatly appreciate people's help...But i need help in figuring out the odds of Virginia's Cash5, the one for 25 cents..I know that the CAsh5 that cost 1 dollar, the odds are: 1 in 324,632...But this odds are because each ticket cost 1 dollar and you are paying 1 dollar for each combination...(which most of us can afford)....But what about the Cash5 that cost 25 cents and pays 25K, assuming you were playing 1 dollar...If you were playing 1 dollars shouldn't the odds be 1 in 81,158...This i

Which game is hardest...Reply
When I study a game, I just look at the odds shown on the web site. To me, they really tell the story. Of course pick-3 is always going to be the game to play with the least amount of combinations. However, I don't think any lottery games are easy, just some have more possible combinations, giving the player a less likely shot at winning with an equal amount of tickets. The less combinations possible, the better chances of winning. The more tickets you buy, your chance of winning increases

If I reduce the MM or PB number pool by half and play 3o2e/3e2o...(?)Reply
You could eliminate any numbers you want to, but what's the reason for eliminating them? Of course the chances that the same combination will repeat next time are slim to none. There are 175,711,535 other combinations that could come up instead, so that makes the odds that the same number will come up in the next drawing 1:175,711,535. It's not a coincidence that those are exactly the same odds as for any other combination. For any combination that you pick, and no matter how you pick it, ther

Little lotto and Lotto winning tickets sold at same storeReply
I wonder if there has ever been a store that sold two winning jackpot tickets for the same lottery drawing Selling two winning tickets to the same lottery drawing isn't that uncommon because a fair number of people buy two tickets with the same number. Perhaps 15 years ago two friends each bought a ticket with the same numbers for NY lotto at a deli in Newburgh and won. Having two tickets with the same numbers sold independently at the same store would depend on the game odds and the

Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
No, True Critic, although you are correct when using that formula. I was just showing KY Floyd that his theory about every time you buy another ticket you cut the odds in half isn't valid. However, I see your point, because I've seen this many times on math boards. JAG said a few posts back that this isn't getting anywhere, and I agree. The reason isn't because one of us is right or one of us is wrong, but that in a game where the odds are over a 100 million to one, buying 2 or 10 or even

Probabilty of Someone Winning a PB & MM Jackpot in the same Week!Reply
Percentages are not odds. Percentage, known in the gambling business as the per , is the house pc on any given game or bet. The lowest possible pc the player can go up against is a full odds bet on the Pass or Don't Pass on a crap table (or Come and Don't Come bet odds) - these are the only bets in the entire universe of legal gambling that pay true odds - and people still get slaughtered making these bets, but I digress... On the game of roulette, except for a couple of bets, the house

Lotteries long for 'jackpot fever'Reply
People are not getting desensitized to large pots. I contend a threshold has been met and whether the pot is $100, $200, or even $300 million the WOW factor is extremely high for most people. However, people are paying more attention to the deminishing chance of winning anything. Raising the odds has a negative psychological effect on the buyer which cannot be overcome by a slightly higher jackpot amount. This is excerbated by the fact that with higher odds people wait longer to get into the

The Pick 3 Benford MatrixReply
Wow, you are correct. I did a quick test to validate. I would be interested to find out what additional information you come up with after additional testing. Based upon the information given to this point, Im thinking a clever way execute the BL#s, after a hit, with about 2-4 Rootsums that fall within the BL skip parameter, this will give you about 75 - 150 #s to play for a straight hit. Im not sure what the reduced odds factor is to hit within 1-2 draws, but I think it pretty significant. Beca
