When is there a positive expectation for playing Mega Millions?
There is a concept I learned while playing poker called Expected Value and it basically means that for any bet you make, there is an expected long-term distribution of results that, when condensed, give an overall value. For example, lets say if I bet $100 on a poker hand and I have a 55% chance of winning, my EV is positive because over the long run I expect to win more money than I put into the pot (despite the fact that on any given hand I win or lose the full amount). It is my understandi

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
I'm with you in experiencing bad luck recently. I bought 25 $2 Gold Rush doubler, or $50 worth. I only got back $6/$50 spent. I was traveling down in South FL for work, and decided...why not get a few scratchoffs? Needless to say, that return sated my urge and makes me not want to play for a bit. @ Jasefan - I think you're smart to just buy 1 or 2 at a time. Really, that's all that's needed for big wins. I think if I countered the amount of times I've won $500 and $1k, the number of times I'v

I used to win moreReply
I can't find the $600 ticket on the site either but it is still listed on their top prizes report as still having 385 top prizes left. Not sure why it's not being sold anymore. That is weird but not surprising. As for the other ticket there are 50 tickets in a roll which makes the odds (6.9) pathetic. Potentially, every seventh ticket may be a winner. So, for every seventy dollars spent there's a slight chance that you'd win at least $25.00. Fifty tickets (cost is $500) in every pack, whi

Visual Basic Programing and MathReply
With the latest version of Visual Studio you would still be able to program in VB and it will import your current projects (be sure to make backups). Some syntax has changed and new functionality has been added, but the core of it is essentially the same and well with the upgrade. Unfortunately there is no way to predict what the winning number for a specific drawing is going to be. The only thing you can really do is look for high probability patterns that limit your choices to a number of c

RL's DMP-HT lottery tool is ready for downloadReply
Hi all The steps is a great little tool and can be used in many different ways. Lets say that we are looking to select a digit to play in Cell-P1. You can combine the steps with the stats and maybe come up with a better selection or at least reduce the list of possible choices. Again let's say the stats analysis points to digits 2-3-6-8 as the best choices given the data. Switch to steps and set step-1 to (w) and step-3 to(w) then do a analysis on step-2. If you think step-2 will

Understanding Lottery StrategiesReply
Even a broken clock gets the time right once a day so given the volume of people who choose the quick pick option versus those who execute a strategy it is no surprise that more people win from quick picks. I wasn't offering a new strategy, I was pointing out how to evaluate a strategy to help people avoid throwing money away on as strategy that in the end will cost them more money than they will ever win. Basically the exact point that you were making. People make the same mistake with th
