Of course there are always plenty of combinations which don't pass the mentioned rules hence form a reduced set of lines. The whole purpose in using our strategy is not to generate random combinations, but deterministic combinations washed by both generic and specific filters. When we overlay our wheel on the filtered combinations, we are further reducing the total number of combinations we play. Syndicate or single player participation is entirely one's preferred choice and restricted by the... [ More ]

My point was that it's hard to pick any combination randomly that conflict with any of those rules, that being so what is the value of those rules? I was under the impression you were posting rules for the single lottery player to follow when buying tickets not for your syndicate to buy tickets.

A predatorial lottery syndicate scheme uses different rules because its organizers are trying to make money off the participants rather than winning a lottery.

Rjoh:

These rules/filter strategies are comprehensively described in the new book How to win more strategies for winning a lottery win by Norbert Henze and Hans Riedwl . We have only recently purchased the book and have been back testing the simpler rules against our syndicate filter strategies. As you can imagine we are in the early days of verification and not yet prepared to program all these rules into our existing strategies.

As you will note, I have been asking LP players for their... [ More ]

Have these observations helped you win anything? Do you have any observations that will help a player pick a winner. I have observed:

Item #1 : Buying a bunch of lottery tickets is no guarantee of a win

Buy only what you can afford to lose, because 99% of the time you will.

The following items need explanation:

Item 4: Never pick the hottest or coldest numbers.

This refers to all the hottest or coldest numbers. One of the playing strategies which many players adopt is choosing 6hot or 6cold numbers based on the numbers winning frequency over past drawings. For example the Canada draw 1221 June 12,1982 players would have chosen 7(Freq =171), 31(Freq=190), 32(Freq=171),34(Freq=171), 43(Freq=167),and 46(Freq=166). All these numbers were hot, but normally there i... [ More ]

The above depends on the lottery rules(legislation) one is participating and individuals preferences.

Nearly all lotteries follow a parimutuel payout system or parimutuel system combined with a fixed payout for the lowest category prize. On average across the board 45%-55% of the draw ticket sales is allocated to most prize funds. The rest of the sales is divided among good causes, government taxes, retailers in commissions, and towards operating costs for the lottery corporations.CASH only... [ More ]

You also should have added:

Never play a game that isn't lump-sum or doesn't have a cash option;

Never play a game that returns only 40% (NY Lotto).

No need to wait too long for the big un . Gotta be in it to win it.

Have you read the wheeling vs randomly under the lotto logix articles http:\\www.lotto-logix.com, the issue which you correctly point relates to my original concern that random selection of any kind leaves many holes in the coverage space, but overtime balances out when compared to a full wheel. We have been using many EXCEL wheels for sometime and nothing beats the 100% wheel. Thank you for the information regard... [ More ]

Another typrical example of lotto players weekly preferences to follow patterns, and shapes across the board.

In games like PowerBall and MegaMillions which are multi-states games, each state have their own card(board) design, a combination that forms a pattern on one state card would look like a random pattern on another state card, although I have noticed several times there were tight combinations that were limited to just a couple of lines on the cards.

Absolutely Todd,

Our local syndicate once joined an online pools syndicate which shall remain nameless, after participating over a one year period we hit (1x5/6,3x4/6, 16x3/6's) , the reduced returns are not even worth mentioning. Worse still the high capital outlay by each syndicate member did not help.

I(we) are of the camp that online pools syndicate should be better regulated by government national and international lottery regulators with effective legislation. There is no protection... [ More ]

Jacques,

Glad to hear your comments on syndicates (pools). They are NOT more profittable, as you said. In fact, if you get lucky and your numbers hit, they make you much LESS profittable.

3) Never choose a combination of numbers from winning combinations of previous draws.

This is true about 45% of the time. I have had luck with it, but have also been burnt by it.

If you get even ONE. But yeah tell that to that lady in my state who won back to back million dollar wins via a scratch off. The only reason you do not want to play numbers in a sequence such as 10 15 20 25 30 etc, is because the odds of sharing it... [ More ]

BobP — Tue, 28 Mar 2006 05:14:24 GMT

A shared prize is better then no prize at all. If the path to winning includes something you've been told never to do, spend the extra dollar unless you are afraid you're only entitled to one big win in your life and don't want to waste it on a shared prize, in which case you better be willing to wait your turn for a long time.

I would advise splitting off from playing what many people are known to do, including playing a popular software at the defaults with the obvious wheel.

I thought y'all would like to share some of the following frequently asked questions :

(1) Is it profitable to play all the number combinations with a syndicate?.

Apart from the rare occasion that a syndicate deliberately goes out to buy every ticket such as the Australlian Syndicate which covered every combination and won!. I believe the answer has to be a definite no.

The issue is worse when one joins an online syndicate (usually at crazy prices), we all know the dangers in parti... [ More ]

I don't play the 6/53 game because of the high odds. I'll play a quick pick here and there, but that's about it. I play the Fantasy five game, but most I hit was for 4 out of five.

The high odds of Lotto are almost 23 million to one. It's like taking 26 quarters and throwing them up in the air and all of them landing on heads. Try that with only 5 quarters and you'll be tossing for almost a day before they all land on one side.

I really haven't sat down and implemented all the rules above... [ More ]

Thanks for the responses - Glad to be onboard.

The proposed rules/filters are presented for discussion.

RJOh,

So I assume you have not signed the petition to eliminate computerised draws!.

The main point to note is that there are plenty of never do rules , but few which have had extensive statistical back testing as presented by the authors of the book. I believe these rules can be worked up as a set of first pass elimination conditions prior to applying the many public domain

All living things are walking computers, because they are wade up of millions of combination. Our DNA for example can be expressed in numbers. Nature is the ultimate player , because it had millions of years to draw the winners and it made a very good job, balancing our features. For example, one feature is centered, like your noose, two features are very well balanced, each one on a side, at the same level, like your eyes. If you have ten features, they are in p... [ More ]

If we created a database consisting of all the possible combinations and used the never do list to eliminate combinations, how many combinations do you think will be left?

Sounds like a system to me. Has anyone tried this

Pacattack05.

Item (3): Statistically every number has the same chance of being drawn as any other number.

The main reason for staying away from combinations of numbers from previous draws is the apparent popularity of such combinations is that others will choose such numbers. hence lower payout. Agreed single numbers will repeat from a given history (say 3-5 draws), But the real question is ,how many draws on average will useful combinations repeat (3+ No's for Div 3 Prize+) from previou...

The odds of winning a lottery are such that you could make up a list of a million never do and they would right almost 100% of the time, just buy a quick pick and you won't have to worry about the never do list.

(3) Never choose a combination of numbers from winning combinations of previous draws

(9) Never choose a combination by playing with numbers.

I don't agree with those two.

3. There are nubers that repeat from the last 3 to 5 drawings often.

9. In order to create a combo, you have to play with numbers. How else are you going to choose what numbers to include?

The rest of the list makes sense though.

I say....Good show!
