Anonymous UK winner claims £122 million EuroMillions jackpotReply
If the AGA you're referring to is the American Gaming Association, it doesn't represent any state lottery. And the legislation Titus and Reschenthaler are introducing applies to legal sports betting. But NCAA, NFL, NBA, MLB, and other major sports organizations are against betting on their sports. Apparently there still is confusion about the Federal Government not having a National lottery and the fact Congress passed a Bill making gambling winnings income how much winnings before a W-2G is

Picking numbers. Would you rather be Good or Lucky and why?Reply
The gambling industry considers the only two things that can be beat consistently are poker and sports betting. In poker the players are playing against each other and in sports betting it takes a 52.6 win % to break even, because of the vig. Granted in the lottery (jackpot games) it only takes one win but there are very few people who achieve that. Any discussion of any form of gambling that doesn't include the Luck Factor is really lacking something.

I voted yes. It isn't the difference of opinion, that is the put down , it is the name calling, assumptions, and insults that aren't relevant to a subject that isn't neccesarily right or wrong from either perspective. For eg. If I think I will hit big on PowerBall, and someone tells me not in 10 million drawings, you idiot, you'll spend 20million and then you'll be geriatric and to old to spend the money......etc. Play Pick 3, you're odds are better, yes I know, but I want the jackpot, not s

NFL footballReply
I agree with this, from the standpoint that fantasy football and baseball leagues are a huge part of gambling, not to mention any other kind of sports betting that can take place online or in a casino. (Or with your neighbor.) Since there has not been a HUGE amount of gaming topics posted, every type of non-lottery gaming goes in this forum, making it very diverse. If something like sports betting (or anything else) were to become very popular, with many daily topics from several people, th

Are Secrets Really Worth Keeping?Reply
I was using a modified version on the Martengale system a while back when I was into sports betting, (Martengale +1) in effect adding 1 more dollar to each bet to recoup my losses and make $1 profit. Then I hit a bad streak, I chased one 7 deep, I was betting $512 to make $1 profit, and guess what? I got that one wrong too!!! even though the odds told me that it was 98.5% in my favor not to get 7 in a row wrong.....it can, (and eventually will) happen! That year I ended up with a 64% winning r
