But what if you are allergic to dust, Coin Toss? I guess I should assume fairy dust is hypoallergenic

Of course, why do you think she carries that 64 oz bottle of Free and Clear

Physical laws are what controls the mixing of a set of ordered balls into a random result. You're probably willing to believe that waves washing up on a beach are the result of physics. Do you believe you could put a drop of water in the middle of the Atlantic and tell me which beach it will wash up on

I believe that it is pretty much a case of Murphy's Law, If something can go wrong, it will. Like when you make money-less predictions that always come out good, but then when you actually put money down on a prediction, it comes out bad.

Cards, dice, roulette balls, keno balls, and lottery balls know when you're making a make believe bet or actually beting real money.

The trouble with make believe bets is the bettor is tempted to believe he won if he comes close and real bets don't work that way, close don't count.

When I want to test my make believe number picking skills, I post my picks on the prediction board because it's as close to real as make believe can get, close don't count there either.... [ More ]

I don't believe physics, quantum or otherwise, has anything to do with the lottery. It's a game based on chance and randomness. Physics is the opposite.

Oh no Luminus!

Don't say anything like that about the Lotto Fairy or she'll never show for you!

Just accept the fact that she's very, very fickle and does everything on a whim

It's always easier to win 'mind bets' than live (real) bets- but of course along with that, if you bet your ind you lose your mind!

Cards, dice, roulette balls, keno balls, and lottery balls know when you're making a make believe bet or actually beting real money.

Thus the saying they all have eyes, ears, and no heart.

The same goes for horse racing and sports betting.

'Woulda, shoulda, coulda' has built more casinos - and any other type of beting parlor - than anything else.... [ More ]

This is like quantum physics. Those of you who know the experiment where the electron gets shot at a wall with two holes in it and somehow goes through both holes simultaneously. But when someone puts a camera next to the holes to see how this is happening, suddenly the electron only goes through one.

Yes, thats just like Schrodinger's cat, Once the observer gets involved, the experiment changes it's behavior.

What you're talking about is the experiment to prove whether light is waves,... [ More ]

Okay, this is just too strange and frustrating. Many, MANY times I've done test games without spending money and have won decent money in the Take 5 lottery. The most I've hit was two 4-number combos in a single game.

Now, just last week I hit $50 for a 3-number combo two days in a row. So, thinking everything is under control, I play the third day. After all, third times the charm, right? WRONG! I got shot right back to the 2-number combo lane as I've been on for the majority of this t... [ More ]
