Money Matters 101Reply
Yeah, I have box hits and pairs galore but I always play for the str8 which costs more. Thus, the box and pair hits will not cover the losses here and it's the draw back of playing str8...miss one number and you're done. I like it, though, because it's where the money is. Listen, this isn't a BIG ME and LITTLE YOU type of thing where I just know so much, okay. It's really about the application of numbers in many, many ways which allows flexibility when playing. I study numbers all day...even

gambling onlineReply
I really have to disagree with you when you say an online lottery is a suckers bet. I did some research on this company and granted they are new but everyone has to start somewhere. Personally i think this is a great idea. The odds of winning a prize are pretty decent and when a lottery is paying out 80% of what they are taking in how can you complain. To help put this into perspective you can look at lotto 6/49 in Ontario for a local reference where only 47% of the money is put into the priz

Some States Consider Leasing Their LotteriesReply
I see an Enron style theft in the future if they are privatized.What if a Michael Milken runs one of these lotterys? I wasn't arguing or disagreeing with you, Mike. I only wrote my last comment because you mentioned Enron and Milken in the same sentence and he had nothing to do with the Enron scandal. Kenneth Lay Jeffrey Skilling were crooks who committed fraud and destroyed lives by lying to shareholders. Although I personally believe Milken was a pawn in one of Giuliani's political
