  Not sure if any of you bought the Dave Todd Lottery theory but I got it and wanted to get other feedback.  I thought it was interesting and realize it's based on statistics.  I think it would favor those willing to spend a few more bucks each week or a pool of players because it sounds logical but costs more than the $3-4 I usually spend at the 7-11.  I'm unsure if I can take advantage of it.  Did anyone else buy it?  If so, what did you think.  Thanks.  Oh here's the link to the site if you didn't see it.

  First of all, when I clicked on link, GeoCities had a pop-up for a porno link...ugh!!!!!! Turned me off right there.

  Second, he only wants checks payable in cash.  He says it so we cannot take contributions as tax-deductible charity.  Stupid explanation.  He wants cash so he doesn't have to claim it on HIS income tax. Should report the guy to the IRS.

  Third, he gives information only that he is a math statistics guy...does not give any explanation on how his system works or how many numbers you have to play.

  Fourth, he does not have shareware or demo.........nowadays you almost have to have that; people have been bitten too many times by lottery software. They are out there a dime a dozen.

  Freddy, play it on paper first.  Do not spend your hard earned cash on this so called system.  If a system hits once it will hit twice......like I tell my husband, "oh well, tomorrow is another day" and it is.  If a system is good, it will repeat itself.  Personally, I think you got snookered. I think it had a money back guarantee........do it on paper for those days and I would advise you afterwards to get your money back.

  Thanks guys.  He did get it to me quick so I guess my worries of a complete scam were wrong.  He had many ways to play but his first one dealt with the assumption everything is random.  Picking numbers based on the fact is came up more in any lottery is stupid he said.  Then he said if you play every number once you automatically turn a pick 6 into a pick 5.  Like if I had 8 tickets with 1-6, 7-12, 13-18, etc.  and random if you will then I automatically have the first number called regardless of the number.  At that point, I only need 5 of 5 on that card.  It does make sense.  He said I improve my chances X amount by doing that and I could repeat that process.  That is why I think it might work but I need more cash to implement it.  He has other things but I guess it would be unfair to say more.  Maybe I went too far already.  Sorry:)

  Thanks again for the feedback.  Good luck all.

  Freddy,

  No need to be sorry.  I just gave you an opinon, that is all.  I could be all wet. I am not always right.  Just do it on paper first, please, before you spend your money.  We all dream of hitting the big one; it just isn't that easy to do.

  Good luck to you!

  Sounds like Dave's system is similar to a program I wrote some years ago in GWBasic.  I still use it to pick my combinations but it has its drawbacks.  I used it to pick the 15 combinations I posted for last night Megamillions drawing and the first five numbers of the combinations contain all 52 numbers at least once.  To get a good mix of numbers, the program using default parameters avoid picking repeat combinations of 2's until most of the combination of 1's have been pick and avoid picking repeats of combinations of 3's until most of the combinations of 2's have been picked and there lies the problem.  Last night it matched  3 in the forth combinations which pays $7, however to match 5 it would have to repeat the combination of three in the fourth combination and normally it has over 50 picks before it starts repeating combination of 3's.  Once I ran it out to 260 to compare it's picks with a list of 260 combinations posted by Lottocheatah for Powerball and it had 11 small wins for $50.  I can change the parameters in the program but the best I've done so far it to match 5 of 6 in the Ohio lottery for $1500 in April.  Since all the winners has been among the first 10 combinations I seldom play more than $20 worth of numbers.  Hope you have better luck with Dave's system.
