Hi, all:

Who has read Nate Silver's book about prediction science such as

"The Signal and the Noise: Why Most  Predictions Fail – But Some Don't. New York: Penguin, 2012. ISBN-13

978-1-59-420411-1."?

I'm not sure if the book is useful for predicting lotto #s? 

I will greatly appreciate any point and idea about it. Thanks.

Best regards,

lb

    Without ever reading the book, I know that some predictions will be correct because even randomly picked combinations are correct about as often as the odds on the play slips predict.
