I don't blame anyone for anything, because when it's all said and done, the randomness of pure LUCK reigns supreme.

You can bet your patutty if someone had a foolproof system, the lottery would be dead.

I am of the absolute belief that a 'system' can get you 3 numbers consistently - but the other 2 you need ? PURE LUCK for one, if not both of them. Maybe a 'system' can even bag you 4, but not all 5.

At what point do you attribute winning to 'a system' vs. 'the luck of... [ More ]

RJOH:

You might be correct that some have posted theories and become offended by negative remarks. You and I, as much as anyone else on the board, ought to be aware that ego's a major piece of LP.

On the other hand, you've chosen a twist in words in a... [ More ]

I hear you. That's an excellent reason.

Seems to me so long as a system's flawed enough to keep a person from getting a big win with it, sharing ain't a problem.

For Pick 5 and Multi-State Jackpot games nobody's going to believe it, anyway.

At least they won't believe it until it's demonstrated by a several-win series on the prediction board, or by an actual 2 each win series of real-money wagers, that it works (which you'd probably not be motivated to announce).

V-tracs for Powerball? I suppose it must be so, since the thread-label is 'Powerball Theories'.

I'd only been familiar with v-tracs as a pick 3, pick 4 tool. The folks using it seem to be doing middling well on th... [ More ]

Mightn't be a mystical or metaphysical law, or even old man Chaos at work. There's always the Coincidence Coordinators trying to get their two-cents into things and confusing the issue.

Maybe they're hand-in-glove dancing with the lady who mustn't be named.

But if there's a system somewhere in the potential numbers behavior arena that allows a person to predict them, seems to me there's also an awfully good reason for not doing any 'sharing' there is to be done on a forum such as this one... [ More ]

What ever happened to the idea of sharing? Should it be to share but keep the good stuff to yourself.

I tend to agree with this. If you've got something really good maybe you should just keep it to yourself after all. You can be generous in other ways to your friends.

The meaning of the mystical law is probably: Keep your system secret.

And we probably should, for many different reasons.

I've had a few theories about playing the lotteries, even got lucky and won a few bucks once or twice but I never won a jackpot with any of them. The trouble is I always knew what I should have done after the drawings and doing it later never seem to work.

Systems, theories and the pregognative leaps the people on the Mystical Forum love, mightn't be all that different from one another in this respect.

As an example, Colin Wilson writes of a Peter Fairley, science correspondent for (British) Independent Television who covered the Cape Kennedy space launches. He was temporarily afflicted with blindness, and after his recovery began having precognitive 'flashes', many of which involved horse races. He bet them and won and won for a while. The... [ More ]

I thought I had invented a good system a few years ago.

The first week I delivered the bet slips I won a 3rd division and several 4th divisions, the second week I won several 4th divisions and 5th divisions, the 3rd week I won about ten 5th divisons.

Then on the fourth week the dry spell set in and had several weeks without any division wins at all.

After about 15 weeks with the system I had to stop because it would start to lose money. I had to use the money won to pay off some debt so... [ More ]

Yes, I know dry spells happen, that's part of the randomness of it.

What I was asking is, have you ever had a theory or system that, as soon as you discuss it with someone, it fails ?

It's one thing to discuss a system with someone and have it fail a week or three later, but with me, as soon as I tell someone that a certain scenario cannot or has not happened, it happens. This is why I made the crack a week ago 'look at the numbers I am playing and play different ones'.

Guesser:

I believe it's something seems to happen frequently. I've seen a lot of folks commenting about it during the time I've read threads on LP. It's been a while since I've noticed such a thread, or blog entry, but I recall quite a number a year or so ago.

Someone, JAP69, I think, or maybe Hypersonic, once commented on his blog it seemed the numbers were 'running away from him'. When there used to be discussions on the Mystical Forum instead of just predictions and dream interpretat... [ More ]

Hi guesser,

I'm guessing that perhaps you just ran into a dry spell. It's hard to hit consistantly with any system, no matter how good it is. I wouldn't feel too bad, just relax and the numbers will come flowing back to you.

Another thought I'm having is that when you're excited about something you tend to be on edge and sharp, a little tense and caught up in your enthusiasm. You're in the zone , so to speak. But now that you've let the cat out of the bag to your friends maybe a little... [ More ]

guesser — Wed, 05 Jul 2006 04:43:22 GMT

I had some pretty darn good theories in play, I was getting money back on about every game night, I back-tested it for 6 months, it was GOLD, I told a few friends about it/what to look for/how to decide what numbers to play, and the very night I did that, I've won almost nothing since then. Almost 2 months now. I can't possibly be alone in this...
