hypersoniq,Just a tip: don't tell the goalie to watch the eyes - tell him to watch the player's hips. The hips will turn the direction that the ball will go.

I disagree. If I read the thread above, I see that OpenMinded makes a very good point, and makes no personal attacks. Also, this is not a poll.

There are many people who believe these theories are directly applicable to the lottery, so you should keep an open mind.On you just delete it response, my comment was to help you understand the policy for the future.

I would have to agree with OpenMinded. Please don't paste the entire contents of someone else's Web site here. Webmasters generally do not take kindly to that.

Goose,My suggestion to you would be to click the link to the website, and read the information there. If, by chance, there is something interesting to you and you would like to SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS with others on LotteryPost, then return to the posting and copy and paste a SMALL PORTION that information with your thoughts. Don't take the time to copy info. from one site onto this one, especially without giving reference to where you got it (you're claiming it as your own when you do that - you k... [ More ]

For example, consider a matching pennies game in which a soccer player can either kick to the East side or the West side, and the goalie can either dive East or West. Suppose that a match (the goalie dives to meet the kick) gives payoffs of 1 to the goalie and -1 to the kicker, whereas a mismatch gives -1 to the goalie and +1 to the kicker. Each player wants to be unpredictable, and the only Nash equilibrium for this symmetric game is for each player to choose each direction with probability... [ More ]

Hypersoniq,I whole heartedly agree. Just so happens, last week I said that I was going to play the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6. Those numbers didn't come up, but it's cool to know that things like that do happen.Seeing myself getting closer-OpenMinded

This is a good read, thanks for the link!One thing that is a possible guideline of what NOT to play are numbers that people will just pick without analysis... 1-2-3-4-5-6, very popular... the other day on the PA cash5, 1-2-4-5-37... there were several hundred 4 OF 5 prize winners, also, same game a little while back... 05-10-15-20-25 or something like that... several HUNDRED top prize winners reduced the 100k to a few hundred bucks... Identifying and avoiding these common thread numbers might
