NJ casino alleges famous poker player cheated in $9.6M winReply
Todd, Yes those sentences were in the news story but as I'm sure you're very well aware a lot of people just read headers ot thread titles and go no further yet spout their opinions. Also from the story: The lawsuit claims that Ivey and his companion instructed a dealer to flip cards in particular ways, depending on whether it was a desirable card in baccarat. The numbers 6, 7, 8 and 9 are considered good cards. Other bad cards would be flipped in different directions, so that after sev

Megamillions and Powerball GamesReply
Anyone Interested, In typical RL style, he takes a simple attempt by me to focus on one issue and changes it into a long winded discussion of different ideas. I really tried hard to present this as simply as possible, really hard. But I guess not hard enough. I thought I clearly stated that the Numbering on the balls, the Odds, and the Payouts of a hypothetical game were to remain unchanged, at least I think I did. You decide. My proposed change was purely cosmetic in that I suggested we colo

Why Do You Think Lottery Winners Always Take The Cash Option?Reply
I found this article online from 2012 and it made me rethink the annunity option: If You Win The Mega Millions Jackpot, Don't Take The Annuity! Yesterday, we asked readers how they'd take their lottery winnings if they won this week's Mega Millions jackpot. The choice is between a lump sum and annuity. Mega Millions describes the options: Annuity option: Provides annual payments over a 26-year period. For every $1,000,000 in the jackpot, you will receive approximately $385,000 per year

Have you tried some of the advice from these " lottery books" out there?Reply
I thnk I have the one you're talking about Shelby. The author is a financial planner and mentioned Kidnap Ransom insurance. _____________________ noise-gate, A pit boss once told us that after you're 'in the business' (casino) for a few months you won't be able to look at a book on gambling without thinking, This guy is full of it, too. I think that holds true for most books and information on all forms of gambling. Many are writtrn by players just trying to make more money to gambl

Widow and daughter will split estate of poisoned $1 million lotto winnerReply
That doesn't sound right, I think you may have been misinformed. I've only had limited experience with our own lottery customer service here in CA, but when I did I was not impressed. Sounded like I was calling into the DMV in Da Hood or something. Yappy and rude, and email inquiries take forever or are just ignored. I wouldn't take any answer I get from the front lines at face value. But anyway, I assume she meant to say you had to form the trust before claiming or signing the ticket. Tha

If you won the big one. Where would you NOT want to move to?Reply
That's right, ttech. Texas is very business-friendly, it's just that Musk wanted to bypass Texas franchise laws and sell directly to the consumer. That's all well and good on the surface, but it's a law that - for the most part- protects the buyer. The Texas franchise laws might seem unfair to a free market advocate, but look at how Texas does liquor sales. For example, Ridge and I could go partners in a liquor store here in town (prob. a bad idea from the git-go). However, Texas law

DC Lottery not paying winners during government shutdownReply
Hold up - what in the he** is wrong with these people? FIRE THEM ALL. They need to be booted out of snip office. You know, not just for the lottery bs reported here but for the ENTIRE FIASCO they're pulling on the American people. They need to be shipped out as soon as possible.

Odds of winning.Reply
You cut out some. The odds against a random day being a Sunday are 6 : 1. If I translate it to the opposite, that would be 1:6 or 1/6. There you get a conflict in comprehension and putting things right. The chance that a random day is not Sunday, or just the chance that any day is not a Sunday. 1-1/7 = 6/7. p(!Sunday)=6/7 6/7 is correct for mathematicians. A douzaine pays two to one, the dealer pushes two chips against one winning chip. There also is a nice article about b
