more reasons to skip this game

Right now, there are 15 numbers that are from the most recent 3 games that have not hit. That's 27% of the available numbers. And then we have 19 numbers in single age groups, that's 34.5%.

Ordinarily, 1 or 2 numbers would come from the 3 most recent games, but the problem is, I think it may be 3 or 4 numbers this time, not 1 or 2.

I can't get a good 'read' on this game, as there are just too many factors that are throwing my thinking out of whack, there are some other factors that are to be considered in every game, but in THIS game, those factors do not even exist. That's a first. That's what happens when you don't 'pick numbers', I pick scenarios regardless of what numbers are in those scenarios, and two of my major scenarios have NO numbers in them.

guesser,

PowerBall is a longshot game. The way I see it, the best time to put your money down is when you think the odds are not so good. (Actually, I think the odd are always the same.)

I think your REVERSE PB Challenge was not a bad idea. You just threw a curve ball when you started telling people they shouldn't submit certain numbers. Seems like you basically were looking to find out how and why people make outside number selections. Well, it's rather subjective which numbers are outside numbers. I'm thinking that you should just let people pick whatever numbers they want , but stipulate that they must include their rationale for each selection. Don't give up on your challenge, but you should realize that - according to one of the polls conducted - most people only spend 15 minutes or less coming up with their numbers. A good many also just play their lucky or favorite numbers. It's unlikely that many people can really explain to your satisfaction why they rule numbers in or out.

Good luck, aye'

BTW, what are single age groups?

"I can't get a good 'read' on this game"

That's the best reason in the world to skip a draw or two. Some people can 'read' into certain number combinations while others can't fathom them no matter how much time and effort they spend. It's just that way sometimes.... was with my Mega Millions predictions last night.

You'll get clarity on what you're working on soon!! Good luck!!
