Is there a winning system?

Wow! Now I too am guilty in this outcome as well!

Faith and absolute dedication is thee ticket.

But one thing here is that when I come across someone else's system, I check it out and return to the one when I had first won. Then I add whatever I have learned to my original system.

Now I have learned something new today and it is a favorite number that I have employed to my system that has improve its outcome in predicting what we all are looking for........ and that's thee almighty grea... [ More ]

Hope you won't mind me waving my own flag.

I agree that the best way to get some idea of where a particular lottery game is going is to determine where it's been.

I've offered two schemes in the Pick 5 forum that are very useful in determining where a lottery has been, and a means to make some educated guesswork regarding future events.

Generating gap sequences based on actual drawing results presents multiple data streams one can use to select numbers for a wheel.

Hi All!

I love this thread! I have been playing all kinds of systems for years and, ya know, when you hit, you hit. Sometimes its spooky, I get an eerie feeling about some numbers and those will hit. I know its crazy, but my right hand itches when I win and my left when I lose. Now I was a philosophy major and I know that it is completely illogical (Cartesian, cogito, ergo sum????). Be that as it may, I feel that whatever system calls to you do it. But also don't be afraid to try som... [ More ]

Totally agree.... I'm guilty of this as well. There have been times I've found pretty tight patterns that hit rarely but provide very few numbers. Of course as soon as I switch to another method I see my previous system hit.

Find a system that hits all the numbers and stick with it (even if it's 1 out of 50 times).

I have one more observation to add to this post. Most of us, myself included, skip from one system to the next, over and over again, looking for that elusive perfect winning system . Just like anything else in life, I believe that if we spent all or most of our time continuing to work on our favorite system, win or lose, we would all learn how to tweak our chosen systems to the point where we would know it intimately and know what to look for daily in order to hit as often as possible.

I guess the question at this point is...

What is that you are doing or think should be done to create that elusive winning system?..Something hopefully different from what you normally see posted here.

When I think of systems, I ususally don't consider an intuitive as appplicable. It's not reproducible by anyone,it has no structure, and there's nothing to analyze ( to figure out what you can try, to do bettter next time).

I'm not putting the method down. If it's working for you, by all means, use it. However, it's not really what I looking for in this thread.

Any other ideas or thoughts

I don't believe in systems per se. What I do believe in is that you can selectively; methodically pick your numbers in such a way that you can grind them together for maximum effect . What you need is a record of past draws and a flowchart with which to pick your numbers and go for it. In the case of picking #s for all states...it isn't hard to swallow that in some instances that the numbers chosen from one individual may result in numbers being drawn in a state a thousand miles from the stat...

confirmation bias

It is the peculiar and perpetual error of the human understanding to be more moved and excited by affirmatives than by negatives. --Francis Bacon

Confirmation bias refers to a type of selective thinking whereby one tends to notice and to look for what confirms one's beliefs, and to ignore, not look for, or undervalue the relevance of what contradicts one's beliefs. For example, if you believe that during a full moon there is an increase in admissions to the emergency ro... [ More ]

Cool responses, BobP I think hit the right note on this one. Thank God I have the means to beat those outstanding odds against me. My head and my intuition is my winning system, and I found that it dosn't work for alot of people simply becuz one may not be able to relate. Depending on how you play and where you play at, is the system your going to use...and what system greatly helps your game, may greatly hurt anothers.

With each state's lottery being different, I don't understand how or why people take a set of numbers and then play them for all states. What type of system is this? No offense intended to anyone who plays this way, but I just don't understand how this works. Is it just luck?

There is alot of good replies......THANKS.

A couple that come close to my approach..

1) Every lottery is different....I totally agree. If you do detailed analysis of historical picks from different lottery games or the same game from different states this is an obvious FACT. It is one of the reasons I've stayed away from betting all States with a set of numbers.

2) Is your system picking more of the wrong numbers rather than the right numbers...This something I monitor very clo... [ More ]

Hi Lottolaughs;

Well as again..... you had posted a well said comment!

I too have told myself this... that what we all are searching for here is right in front of our faces..... but the trick here is to decode it and understand it characteristics. Some of us are a bit impatient, but some of us other peoples will learn :)

So anything new on this pick 4 system that you have perfected?

The Pick-3 is a negative expectation game so a mechanical system that always does the same thing every time can not win often enough to play at a profit.

You must either successfully pick the moment to use the system at the point when the wins appear or you must add your personal input based on gut feeling or such. For example, betslips pays about 90% compared to the state's 50% so if you divide the numbers into two equal groups based on some sort of criteria you can track, a system becomes... [ More ]

Good thread. I only play pick-5 so I can't speak about pick-3 games, but I agree with what lottolaughs said about each game being unique. After reading about all of the different systems, I still find my way the best (but I'm still looking for the better one .) What works best in my case, is ruling out all numbers that won't come up . I've been thinking about starting a thread on this idea, but essentially it comes down to the question, which is easier to pick the winning number or the losing... [ More ]

As EXCALIBUR suggested, it's not whether your system can win but the number of combinations that it has to pick before it picks a winner, especially with pick3 games. With jackpot games, your odds of winning something is usually better than 1:100 but the payoff is usually one or two dollars, while many pick5 games pay something 1:10 times, usually a dollar.

I am looking for a system that offers the most for the amount spent, I can't afford to spend a lot so getting lucky has to be a factor.... [ More ]

Great thread, have been pondering some of the same questions myself.

Here is just a thought of mine.

Print out all your state's past results for the game you are interested in. Now think about what you are holding in your hand. A lottery system that's already been written.

Each state, each set of unique drawings, each a different lottery system.

The system is writing itself each day after every drawing.

Instead of forcing our systems to comply with it, why don't we study ha... [ More ]

I have been watching a handfull of predictors here at LP, including myself and when we post the same or almost the same picks for the pick 4 games, i have seen that those picks are best to play.

On the pick 3 the question is not if you can get the winning number, but In how many numbers played can you get it, How often and Will you make a profit both in short and long terms?

In other words, Will the system be profitable?

Because of course you can win, but Can you make a profit?

Too bad that people just can't work together for so many bad reasons, so we just have to crack the games alone, at least some of us are learning how.

Hi Shawn;

Interesting way to pick your lottery numbers.... but as you can see here as well you are using your psychic intuition here.

In which it is all fine..... when we all here at the LP, go to work using what we all feel what we believe that our system is thee greatest, (and it is) we tap into our psychic intuition and this is what gives us what we all are looking for.

Thee almighty WIN!

Your way is a helluva lot more simpler and I hope that I did not discourage you in any way or... [ More ]

Is there a winning system?

JKING — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 19:41:20 GMT

Hi,

After frequenting the Lottery Post for some time now, it appears nobody has really cracked a good system to beat the lottery. Some ideas get recyled countless times, mathematicians say our is the only way...and it goes on and on.

What, if anything, has helped you win more?

What, if anything, is the most useful element in any would be winning system?

Have any of us really learned anything here to create a winning system?

Any thoughts are welcome.
