hello Gamb ler 667 =

most games are a combination of chance and calculation. we can use intelligence to a certain extent, but there is always the chance factor, 70% x 30%, well, well, because the numbers are irrational, abysmal and unfathomable, they constitute a good instrument, for the apprehension of something irrational.

if we use numbers to learn the irrational, we will be using irrational means to capture the irrational, being the basis of guessing, so 70% to 30% in the calculation

I hope we never truly solve it. If anyone ever does, kiss the large jackpots goodbye!

There is a way to find sets that will be drawn within a given period. But all the skill, all the programming, all the knowledge of patterns, sets, numbers, etc., requires some amount of luck.

I still believe some are born with the innate ability to put numbers together, while people like me have to work at it. So I put in the work and pray to get lucky.

Not being able to program doesn't make you dumb.

You never learned or didn't care to know. That doesn't make you dumb either.

The simplest way to do it is the way you're describing.

Input the pair you are looking for, tell the program where to look for the pair, and check it against the data file.

But you have to know (at least a little) about programming to be able to instruct the AI what to look for, where to look and what to do with the result.

Therefore, buying 50 tickets makes your odds of winning 1 in 5,844,026.76.

The probability of drawing one of the 286,357,262 combos your 50 tickets apparently eliminate is 98%. And probably why the jackpots are rolling over close to $1 billion. But you do have 1 chance in 5,844,026.76.

There's something in the water in Massachusetts, where a lottery player won a $31 million Mega Millions jackpot just one week after another player in the state won a jackpot of the same value.

On Tuesday, Jan. 24, one ticket won the $31 million jackpot in the multi-state Mega Millions game with the winning numbers 33, 41, 47, 50, 62, and Mega Ball 20. On the following Tuesday, Jan. 31, yet another Massachusetts player was the only ticketholder in the country to do the same. The winning numbe... [ More ]

Probablity is not absolute . 4 + 4 does equal 8. Not probably.

Wrong yet Again BoZo ..

All Math iz absolute .. Which provez, YOU aBsOlUtElY posess no skillz in critical reazoning..

4 +4 = 8 has nothing to do with probabilty or the definition

But it DUZZ.. They're related in that Math'z answerz are alwayz DEFINITIVE ... and it NEVAAH LIEZ..!!

I have never recommended or suggested to buy duplicate tickets.

Nobody here said you did. Are you one of those people that pretends people said something just to get attention?

That would be foolish and certainly would not improve the chance of winning.

Thanks for sharing some more useless information!

I can think of a couple of reason why buying more tickets or joining a group doesn't necessarily mean your chances are better . And you came up with the most obvious; buying tickets with the same numbers. The ChatGPT suggested buying more tickets can increase your chances but never used the term odds. Even the local croupier who said something like because only one combo can win the jackpot, buying more tickets decreasing the non winning combos by how many are bought , is still saying buying ext...

I agree with your definition of not necessarily and that is why I did not agree with the original statement.

There is mathematical proof with 100% certainty the chances of winning are always better when buying more tickets.

As a reminder, the original statement by Cmoore50 was:

Joining a group and buying more tickets doesn't necessarily mean your chances are better.

In Northeast Ohio and probably in most places, not necessarily usually means something is not a 100% certainty. But hey, I won't stop you from making any silly point you're trying to make.

I already knew math is not your strong suit. Now I also know that English is also a problem for you.

His use of the word necessarily implies the chances of winning may not be better. That is not correct. Extra tickets does result in chances may be better or may be worse. There is only one possible outcome. That is, chances are better.

Stack47 — Sat, 04 Feb 2023 04:39:23 GMT

Moore said doesn't necessarily mean your chances are better , you said that is 100% wrong , and then explained how they could be correct, (assuming the tickets are all different) . Is the word necessarily omitted from the Canadian dictionary?

Maybe it's because Allen and Cmoore didn't invite you to share strategies with them or is you want to be the forum critic

Joining a group and buying more tickets doesn't necessarily mean your chances are better.

That is 100% wrong. Buying more tickets improves your chances of winning. The more tickets, the better the chances of winning (assuming the tickets are all different).

That has been mathematically proved using both probability formulas and empirical evidence (Monte Carlo method).

I think that's a great idea. Playing together, but separate has always made sense.

Each person sees the game differently while using the same material.

Who knows? Small group play could become thing with groups posting predictions under a group name.

(I do agree with you AllenB, better to put it up later than to post it and have it shredded by people who don't understand the process and approach you are taking.

Yep, it's mostly semantics.

If I purchase 26 PB tickets each with a different bonus number, it's correct to say I have 26 chances to win the jackpot. And just as correct to say 25 of my tickets won't win the jackpot.

I'm sure if I got together with Allan and Mr B. and we shared our strategies fully. It would definitely help and we'd come up with a good plan of attack .

I'm In.

But we would have to stay off of this Forum at least until of if we actually came up with something.

We should Talk Cmoore.

Joining a group and buying more tickets doesn't necessarily mean your chances are better. How are these tickets constructed? What filters do they use? More money thrown at any draw could be just be more wasted money. Is it just quick pick tickets? I'd pass on that route also. You have to go it alone or join a small group that all have good data that each can share and then decide the strategy for the next draw.

Regarding locks, the Tyson Douglas fight;

What are the odds on Tyson vs Douglas?

The largest wager on Douglas was $1,500 at 37-1. The odds on Tyson peaked at -4,200, an almost unthinkable price for a fight , but one that was required to attract any kind of money on Douglas .

Tyson, -4200, bets on Tyslon were $4200 to win $100. Ask any of those people who bet on Tyson about locks.

You puy up $4200 to win $100?

Yeah, I thought it was a lock.

Current Powerball:

So even with an adveertised $700 million jackpot, considering cash value if anyone did shell out $292 million pluas and there was another winner (or more) they have shelled out over $292 million for 1/2 a ahre of $375.5 million, or less dependoing on how many winner... [ More ]

I rarely play Powerball and Mega Millions since the odds are close to 1 in 300 million for both games. Regular state lotto games are hard enough to win. Why waste money on the games with the worst odds. There are also some games in Europe with extremely high odds. The Euro Millions game has odds of approximately 1 in 140 million. I consider these odds to be comparable to Powerball and Mega Millions since the tickets cost more than $2.
