well said, and when you get good, learn another. A platinum membership helps.

I really doubt anyone can pick 49/6 with any kind of consistency, because if you could, you could make a living at it, playing that set of numbers a hundred times for a 100x payout.

And that's the inherent problem with any system: it will help only so far, it may get you a really decent set of pool numbers, but even at that, the pool will be rather large.

I can give you three pools of 5-6 numbers to choose from and be relatively certain one each from those pools will hit, but which one... [ More ]

Hello, cobalt 179 in lottery game can mathematically predict up to a point

Then there is the chance. example in a game 49 / 6 one can predict with some confidence up to 4 numbers the other two are random chance and that is the basis of games, you can see an example, you do

100 bets on each game 46/6em will hit 80% of 3.4 or numbers on a card distributed only two or three cards, the ideal would be one of four random numbers, the other two are random, the base of the game is to predict mathe... [ More ]

I really enjoyed reading your response....this is something i've been thinking bout for months.

Instead of working on cracking the lottery, just find something that works every now and then and use money managing skills to make a profit.

I've thought about it so much but I haven't been able to find the right amount of numbers or right sysem to try out.

I need to calcuate the odds of everything I have in mind but I can't get around to getting the correct numbers...

Most of the systems I've read are ideas about finding ways to predict future hits. A tic tac toe workout might produce several box and a few straight winners within the next 3 or 4 weeks and Power Trails may do the same. The basics are understand money management and how much it will cost to make a profit or a small loss playing those methods. Do you really want to wager $25 a drawing to win $10 a month later?

Step one should be determining how much you can afford to wager and if the system c... [ More ]

And I can tell you as a 'longer term' member here: the reason folks don't want to share 'systems' is because as soon as you share it publicly, you get ten people on your butt to shoot it down, some to tell you how much of an idiot you (the poster) are, and I am no different.

Some people are just normally frustrated after trying someone's system and not getting a hit so they rant to the persons who post those systems rather than blame themselves for believing winning a lottery would be so easy... [ More ]

Cobalt: her books: they are ancient, and as I keep saying over and over and over, yes, some folks won with her 'system' - MAINLY in the 1980's, a few in the 90's, that's a LONG time ago.

Let folks look at the absolute basics first, and then let them get into the intracacies of skips and sums and all that other stuff that doesn't work any better than any other system (if it did there would be a few LP members that should have won by now. The best I can come is 4x5 - 12 times.

Imagine,

Here are some items to think about, the next time you play your game. I will list a few for you!

Prime numbers, odd numbers, even numbers, repeating numbers, sums with and sums without the powerball or the mega ball, low numbers, high numbers, odd/even with low/high, pairs, trips, quads, consecutive numbers, sum range and sum root played together. There are also lucky numbers that you can play! These are just a few examples.

Please remember, that when you play a game, you have... [ More ]

I gave some of the basics earlier, and of course the drawing of 7/9 proved me wrong - or did it?

I said I play the 'odds': what is more likely to hit than another, and here is what I found today:

Games where the first number below is the number of 'odd' numbers and the second number is the number of 'even' numbers that hit:

5/0 all odd: two (2) and one of these was July 9.

4/1 four odd/one even: ten (10)

3/2 three odd/two even: eighteen (18)

2/3 two odd/three even: fifteen (15... [ More ]

In addition to single number analysis, it will be quite informative to analyze a combination of the numbers drawn by placing them into groups of 2s and 3s, (with and without the PowerBall) thus creating pair/duo analysis and triad/trio analysis.

'done properly'???

Working with a filtering system there are large gross filters and smaller refined filters. They are best used in a proper order because a large filter can take you to zero when performed after the small filters. Some cancel each other out, like selecting only neighboring number pairs and then filtering out odd sums.

WTH does that mean?

ANY of us that have been students of the sport (and it IS a sport) can tear apart anyone else's 'system' - mine included so there is no debate there.

Every drawing presents new ways to defeat old 'systems', all you can do is play the percentages and hope for the best.

Now, HOW you decide what a percentage worth playing is is up to you, I outlined mine in my first post above. Yes, I do more than what I posted above, but if I posted everything I l... [ More ]

That's kind of a crappy answer if you ask me, kind of condescending.

OF COURSE people look around and learn, but you have to start with absolute basics somewhere, and then you go from there.

It isn't as though systems can be combined to make a super system. In most cases unless done properly one system or method blocks another. If you want to take a look at some building blocks of simple systems often called filters, google Lottohat and from there the Pick-3/4 version and download the demo just to see how these things work when taken in order. Remember every number removed lowers the cost and equally the chance to win. You could also take a look at the Lotto-Logix book a few lines d... [ More ]

Smart Lottery Players are well informed and select their Lottery Numbers carefully by Examining Patterns, Frequencies, and Trends. All of the above can be learned from the Forums and other Websites that cater to all the US Lotteries.

Some real rough basics to get you started:

Powerball.

White balls 1-59, 70% of the games have two numbers hit from 1/29, and three hit from 30-59 - OR VICE-VERSE.

You generally want two 'odd' and three 'even' numbers - OR VICE-VERSE.

You generally want two, and sometimes three numbers that have not hit in the last ten games. History proves that.

There are exceptions to the above, but overall, about 80% of the games are like the above.

Everyone has their own way of explaining or fashioning a lottery system so it's hard to tell exactly what the basics are that make up lottery systems is. One suggestion is to go to the Lottery Systems forum...change the Show Topics from box in the upper left hand corner to All History then at your leisure go through each and every page to see what may be of interest to you. I've done this several times over the years and learn something new every time :) Happy Reading

I have read some of the members posts over the last few months in this section.

I would like to learn more about what are the basics that make up lottery systems. I've learned through here about 2/3 3/2 when picking lottery numbers. High/low in the spread. The problem is there are scattered tips here and there.

I'm trying to look up past post by members who talk about their systems, but it's hard to due with long time members who have so many posts.

Is there any specific thread or blog,... [ More ]
