One point of view could be...The prediction pages currently enable freeloaders to benefit from other peoples hard work!!!Is it really so strange, that after working really hard to predict your numbers, that you want to protect them?Is it really so strange, that after working so hard to predict your numbers, that you want to reap the maximum return if you win?...assuming the worse case senario of other people using your numbers.

For myself, I have yet to post on the predictions forum only becuase I am new here and I'm just getting a feel for this place (which I am coming to rather like, btw).I have, on the other hand created a thread the other day where I have posted numbers that I feel relative to last night's and current midday draws and some of them have played.I am a Share The Wealth kind of person.

That way YOU are the only one who has the rear copy (with serial #). Depending on the state, I believe your front and rear copies would be sufficient enough to claim the $$$.

You actually bring up an excellent point with this, something that I hadn't thought of before.Some guys may want to TEST a new workout but dont want to post predictions because they dont want people to drop their money on a theory . It would be too cool if there was some way to inform others that you arent actually making the bet but testing..............I dont know maybe put a T by their predictions.

I never post the actual combinations I play since I will keep playing them until the jackpot hits. But if you keep changing the combinations then it wouldn't matter.

With Cash-3, Cash-4 the payouts are a set amount so someone copying your predictions doesn't matter. However if you look at the sheer number of predictions posted who's to know which ones are correct which ones are not???? Back to having luck on your side to bring about a win.
