That's always the case, Pac.

In a real world where they don't rotate tubes and sets of tubes, justice, trends, patterns, and methodologies might have a chance.

Computers or no computers, once you mess with the history of a tube and not reveal it's new position, then that's what I call Something to hide . If the only reason stated by the officials was that it was to rotate to prevent wear and tear, and made sure the machine was working right, with pretests, then why not reveal the winning number during the pretest, and wh...

No matter who wins or how many, the lotteries usually never pays out more than 50-60 percent of the revenue as lottery prizes. It may be different on some lotteries.

Any way, the lottery commision will get their money.

I have learned not to underestimate other peoples' foolishness.

It was asked can someone explain what do they mean by Liability

FWIW, I was trying to illustrate what it meant.

It seems no matter how many times we explain to people, they have this idea the lottery has some loophole that can be used to bankrupt it.

Yep,

Work up a program that have hit skip factors that come within a time frame you desire.

You do not need a super computer to do that.

Just organization of your numbers that fit what you desire.

Are you saying that if someone actually came up with a winning strategy for the pick3 games, they would be foolish to share it with the general public?

All states have a limit on the amount that can be bet on one set of pick3 numbers so it's unlikely that scenario would ever happen. Pick3 players usually reach that limit on special holidays or when a set of numbers appears in the news and everyone tries to play them.

The Georgia cash 3 liability limit is $10 million means that $10 million is the maximum amout they will pay out on a drawing, no matter how many people win.

Let's say you come up with a way to predict the winning straight number.

When you play, you would expect a $500 win for every $1 you bet.

You decide to share your idea with all the wonderful people in Georgia, by placing an advertisement in the newspaper saying what the next drawing result will be.

Those secondary prizes will carry you a long way, in jackpot games. I don't usually mention them directly as some folks think you are making a contract when you're just making a comment

When I made the hit-ratio comment about p3, I even included a straight every 6th win, and boxes as the other five wins. Most p3 p4 games don't have a 2 of 3 or 3 of 4 option. A few do, but most don't.

I don't consider hitting the jackpot a feasible goal using software and computing power. My goal has always been to try to hit the 4th, 3rd and perhaps even the 2nd prize often enough to make it worthwhile. 1st prize will always be reserved for the lucky one.

I'll buy QPs, too, until I think my work-in-progress is ready for prime time. My focus is p5 PB.

Computers, whether super or mere mortal, only provide speed. You still need the creativity. That resides between the keyboard and chair. The fastest of cars won't get you there, if you're traveling in the wrong direction.

For p5 jackpot games, you can be set even if your hit ratio (not prize ratio) is only 1%.

P3 players would have to do at least ten times better (and work at it every day... [ More ]

That's exactly my point. If using a computer could help any one win a lottery, all the computer power needed already exists in today's PC and there's no need to wait for the more powerful PCs of the future. The fact that players buying QPs do as well as players picking their own numbers means no one has a clue about how to predict a future random event by observing past random events using computers or other wise.

You can use all the programs you are willing to write.

The prize money paid to the winners ... comes from all the losers. The lotteries are not in business for your health, or to fund a bunny rabbit sanctuary, but for their own profit. No losers = no lottery.

And then of course are the players that buy a QP and hit the jackpot. They seem to do as well as those trying to predict, supercomputer or not.

Using a PC doesn't mean you don't have to use your brain, someone has to think up the logic to predict a winner and then write the instructions for a computer to follow.

A computer doesn't have a brain to do the thinking but when it comes to following instructions and crunching numbers it's superior and faster than the average brain.

Use your brain to predict the numbers it is far superior to the PC and much faster.

As I said:

There are many possible prediction logics, some just would be better in some way(s) than others.

How to develop prediction logics?

By research of course.

First you look at the draws then think and then do some stats work by hand, then study and think some more, then if you can make programs you make some research programs (Tools) based upon the ideas that you got when you took a look at the draws and made some work by hand amd looked at your workouts.

The desktop of today would have been a super computer 30 years ago. And yet today there are still lottery players using paper and pencil to predict the next winning numbers while they continue to wait for a personal supercomputer to come along to do it better.

Prediction logic is everything.

Without it a Pc is just a kind of paper weight.

It is not the computer that gets the number, but the right prediction logic.

There are many possible prediction logics, some are better in some way(s) than others.

Some are more accurate and some are less, some produce more numbers to be played and some produce less, you have to balance both, the best would be a logic that is more accurate and that produces fewer numbers than other prediction logics.

The label personal supercomputer is in regular use on the web, while semi-supercomputer is not.

These cheap personal supercomputers are comparable to real supercomputers available on the market 15 years ago.

Always considered buying or making my own personal supercomputer , but until now has thought it was too expensive. Armari Ltd. got some overclocked workstations they compare to supercomputers, including a Skulltrail version (the one with QX9775 processors).

I remember reading a post about creating your own personal supercomputer on this forum some time ago.

You can't get any closer than this I guess: Intels new Skulltrail plattform

Possibly you can connect several of these together to create a cluster and get even more computing power.
