Is that because the guess was LUCKY or was luckier because it was a guess? Maybe you could post some example combinations that can't win. BobPAre you asking me to crunch numbers?

Check each one of them out for yourself.2,3,4,5,8,9,10,11,14,16,18,19,37,34,38,39,40,43,45,48,49,50,51,13,20,22,23,13,24,26,29,31 and 47.

Feel free to post any legitimate suggestions on lowering the odds or improving your chances here on Lottery Post or rec.gambling.lottery I doubt anything really useful that hasn't been thought of already would be given out at a seminar unless you had to pay extra and then what seems like fantastic info to the people on either side of you might seem pretty basic after hanging around here.

Nothing here other than informal meets while traveling, usually to pinochle tournaments.The driving force behind conventions is sales, whether off the convention floor or as a showcase for a future offering. Any convention, then, would have to be organized by someone or a group of people with something to sell. It costs money to host a convention, and it isn't cheap - I've seen this while involved in the organization and hosting of tournaments, and the scale of those dvents is miniscule compared...
