I guess he also does not like that feature Todd provides.

And the other guy begging him to badmouth him as well in whatever way suits him. Lol. I guess we know what he likes!

Unbelievable and sick. And such low self esteem. But such interesting psych 101 case studies.

Stack seems like somewhere along the way, there was a fork in the road. Not going back to find it, so I'll just respond to your last post.

I see predictions and sharing as a huge part of the board. The game forums are a great place for camaraderie and friendships. Ideas, whether it is a personal recognition or something you saw, read, or heard is a big part of picking numbers (unless you play QPs). So it would seem everyone would be interested in ideas that could help them produce a winner... [ More ]

Speaking of badmouthing .......

constantly over obsessing on numbers and how you understand various number theories better than every other human is not healthy

And they can't be talking about me because I'm only average 1.6 posts a day. Wanna bet they are really talking about someone averaging 22.7 posts a day for 13.4 years?

Personally not only do I have nothing against anyone predicting and sharing their picks and ideas in the forums, I encourage them.

The way he obsesses on one sentence in various threads for months at a time, shows it is both a self esteem issue and ocd .

That is why he has all the time in the world to highlight hundreds of sentences from various members and pretend to give a professorial response. He fools no one.

He was so jealous that the other member was so much better liked than he could ever be.

I've always thought the best way of showing probability is as a percentage. Many NCAA basketball predictors give the round by round probability of teams advancing. With basketball sports betting there is a money line and a point spread. While St. Mary's would be considered the odds favorite over Gonzaga because the point was minus 2.5 and the money line favored St. Mary's; bet $120 to win $100. Some could use that info to say St. Mary's was a 6 to 5 favorite with an 83% probability of winning th... [ More ]

Read where the odds of winning a PB jackpot with 100 tickets is 1 in 2,922,013,360. The odds are fixed regardless of the number of tickets purchased and the confusion here seems to calling chances and odds the same thing.

10,124,224 / 292,201,338 = .0346481096537621 (3.46). That's the REAL math.

10,124,224 / 292,201,338 = .0346481096537621 (3.46). That's the REAL math.

Calculated on hand held calculator, and computer calculator, just to compare.

Yep, both had the same answer.

BTW, location of manufacture didn't matter.

PB sold 10,124,224 tickets for the Wednesday drawing and about a 1 in 29 chance of a ticket winning the jackpot. Probably more accurate to say there was a 3.4648% probability of a jackpot winner but either way someone will say the fix was in .

Some have interpreted your explanation to mean buying extra tickets does not change the odds of winning.

To clarify for anyone that misses the obvious, buying multiple tickets doesn't change the odds of the game . The odds of the game are always determined by how many possible outcomes there are and how many favorable outcomes there are, and those odds are reported based on having one chance. Buying multiple tickets gives you more chances to match the favorable outcome(s) and therefore incr... [ More ]

You consider yourself qualified to tell others what is of value and what they should value?

We had a member like that. Lantern.

Someday maybe you'll hear about lantern. You and a few others remind me a lot of how he and his acted.

That's why I call you sock puppets. No reasonable, intelligent, thinking person could read what the mathematicians, statisticians, and people working in ASM say and still refuse it. Not a peep on refuting it. Just outright refusing it.

Looks like someone follows all my posts. And still jealous over my very popular pinned topic on state lottery anonymity? The owner of this site and Kate certainly have been very appreciative for all of this research. But again, you would not understand class.

Maybe someday he can create something of value. Insecure people become jealous very easily.

Yep, back in the old days, I don't recall arguing about something so trivial as the odds against winning a jackpot only a very few people win a year. Saw where someone started a thread about Steve Player systems and while he had some weird and expensive stuff, some were very interesting. Threads like that don't interest those that hijack threads and believe the wit and wisdom of old lottery players is quoting Marilyn Monroe.

And we thought psykomo was weird.

Too kind Stack. Sorta makes me nostalgic for the good old days.

Lot of good people sharing and posting new ideas back then. Spent a lot of fun time shooting the breeze, learning, and trying to program what they had in mind. Together, we wrote Somers12 in about 20 minutes one night, posted on Box and two years later it was still being downloaded.

The Sal Yodada Pick 3 programs, we got humorous and still had a program that worked.

Actually for 19 years (more than 7 years before you appeared) Gary has helped many LP members with their ideas of how to win lottery games and creating software programs. Next time someone asks why don't they post any more? we can use your post as an example and the obvious reason why many of the real lottery players no longer post.

They need to get a job or volunteer in their community.

Have at least three people here that believe PB and MM draw more than won combinations or multiple unique combs can win the jackpot. Wonder why they feel compelled to spread false information?

Do you think they work for Fox News

You know what they say sock puppet. Nobody made you read it.

You're punishing yourself.

So scroll on by. You won't be missed.

Oh, and get a job or volunteer. You won't have time to be offended.
