Is the 27,000 from 2014 alone or over the 6 years? This gives me hope in my pick 3 endeavors

Up about $27,000 from 2014.

Some big hits over the past 6 years.

Had a few 10k hits every year I think.

2010 had 20k and 10k + multiple 1k wins.

(My bigger wins come from pick 3 4 bets

Pick 4: Hit a pick 4 straight for 2700.00 back in February. 3 or 4 100.00 boxed wins and one 200.00 boxed so probably a little ahead on pick 4.

Cash 5: Spend 2-3 bucks a day on Cash 5 and never got more than 3 numbers hit on a draw so loss on Cash 5 as I expect most do unless you are lucky enough to hit a jackpot and mine is coming in 2015.

Scratch Offs: Only play scratch offs 1rst Tuesday of every month when the new games come out in NC. Usually spend anywhere from 20.00 to 50 or 60.00 de... [ More ]

it involves

if at the end of the year i haven't won my money back i start back at spot 1 but instead of $1 per draw, i spend the following .

step 1

spot 1 =$3 bet in 1 game for spot 3meaning i will $9 if that one game hits.

Well the only thing i got to say is I dont know if he actually did win that amount on 35 grand that i would be broadcasting it here drawing attention to myself....the IRS is lurking....and if he did win as he said then the IRS is going to take what 40% and if he has state taxes maybe another 10% there.

I watched lots of people bet $100 or more on one Craps, Blackjack, and Roulette outcomes, but there is a big difference in betting $100 on an even money bet or a 37 to 1 Roulette number and a 9999 to 1 pick-4 number. Player probably bets multiple numbers at around $10 a bet.

If they can win $490,000 for every $35,000 they bet, it shouldn't take too long before they can retire.

The more I think about it, the only difference between betting $100 or $3 on a pick-4 number is the payoff. The risk is the same because it depends on how much a player wants to spend and that should be relative to how much one can afford to lose. It looks like your pick-4 playing style is similar to mine with the exception of the amount of the wagers.

Reply #59

p4wanbi — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 23:09:02 GMT

Right thats small bet actually. A valuable bet depends on how much is in the pot and your very best hands compare to the cards on the table. So the value bet to me is that much of a bet.

Stack47 — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 22:55:59 GMT

When I saw where Washington State doesn't have a pick-4 game, I thought maybe your WA meant D.C.

Its the same theory as poker play, when you value bet is when you bet the most while assuring you have the best hand.

In other words, you're risking $98 trying to win $490,000, but the odds are still 9999 to 1. A value bet in poker is when a player has the best possible hand and makes a smaller bet hoping to get a call or better yet a raise.

Washington doesn't have a traditional pick-4 game and it would require hits on multiple days to win almost 1/2 million playing their Match 4 game. So they must be playing in another state's pick-4 game. My skepticism is mostly on the $35,000 in wagers, the I don't play everyday comment, and the significance of making five .50/.50 bets.

Had they just said they wagered $100 on one pick-4 straight combination every day for a year and got lucky, there would be less skepticism.

Well, even if you played VA Pick 4, the combination you stated (1-2-3-4) wasn't drawn in 2014. And it's only been drawn TWICE since 1991.

Or were you just using that as an example? Not meaning to be picky but bold claims require bold evidence.

There's really no such thing as 99% assurance in the lottery, unless you buy 99% of combinations. That's simple math. I've searched my own lottery and if you played the same numbers every draw for $75 a pop you would be out over $400,000 and counti... [ More ]

There is no way to play the lottery without risking losing your money, that is why it is called gambling. Some players may be better at risk management than others but they all are taking a risk.

LottoMetro — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 18:27:23 GMT

Okay, so basically you aren't hitting a bunch of different draws; instead, you're hitting the same set of numbers in single draws?

That is risky. The variance between wins would be pretty high. I mean, look how long some combinations go without showing. What's been your biggest drawdown?

P.S. Which game again? I've presumed WA Match 4 but the biggest draw payout in 2014 was ~$88,000. There was a ~$316,000 payout in 2013 though.

Reply #45

p4wanbi — Fri, 02 Jan 2015 18:19:35 GMT

U forgot to factor in the fact that all it takes is for me to hit one time with consecutive straight hit. For example, i can hit 1234 straight for $75.00 plus $10 of of 1234 for 50/50 wager thats total of 300k+75k+25k+12.5k so thats 412.5k. No winnings of lower than 1mil is to be on the news anymore. Look at each payout total of their lottery payout and then you will know.

Anybody can make a bold claim, but yours is pretty bold. How much did you win/lose/play in 2013 and 2012?

If you were playing WA Match 4 the odds of getting 49 hits in the number of trials suggested by your expenditures are so incalculable that it is impossible. Even more than 16 wins (32.7% of implied claimed 49 hits) has odds of nearly 1 in 400 billion. There's a 99.99% probability of having fewer than 8 wins.
