Hmmm...you're right up my ally when it comes on this topic.

I personally don't have a question per se.

But, i think there's an argument that could be made for both methods. I guess, depending on which side of the fence one might be sitting when it comes on to either methods of number selection it can be very hard to convince either party that their method is better than the other person's.

I've been down that rabbit hole. Personally, i think whichever method works in order to beat the man at his game at any given time (although I may have a mechanical ball machine drawings bias) that's the one that should be utilized to its maximum benefit. Lol.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this topic.
Peace!

Thanks for your comment. I get a kick out of the notation on mechanical ball drawings in OH, where they always say (or write) this drawing was witnessed by someone from the Auditor's office.  How do these auditors watch random number draws?  HA!

I agree that getting anyone to switch methods is difficult, but we operate (especially myself) from a strictly unemotional view.  It doesn't matter if I win or lose any given day. It is just a spreadsheet where I have to fill in the results. Many lottery and many more gamblers in general get a high or buzz after a win.

They also get depressed or feel differently on a loss.

And because of this dopamine dump, they are on a roller coaster ride. From a biz hobby view, do I come out ahead at the end of the year?  So far, so good for over a decade. But to each their own.

As for balls vs computers, if we see any shenanagins from the random states, we'll make a note. As for methods; we find value from everyone, and mostly combine our oponion of best practices to the games.  Thanks again for your comment.
