Todd,Since you are only talking about a few lines, why not play both systems on paper for a month and see which one does better? You may decide to stop playing altogether.RJOh

Hi Todd,This is how I see it.......The odds against picking correct 5 numbers out of 37 if you play 1 game are 435,896 to 1.......If you play 15 games, the odds are about 29,060 to 1.......If you play 5 games, the odds lengthen to around 87,180 to 1.......Either way, the odds are pretty sizable BUT, as the old saying goes You've got to be in it to win it ......so.......if it were me, I'd take the 6 by 5 route.John

My question is,do you think it'd be better to play 6 days a week at $5 a pop or take a more aggressive approach and play twice a week at $15 a pop. What would you do? Do you think in the long run you'd win sooner with the 6 day deal or the 2 day? I'm tempted to try out the 6 day one and see what happens. Then maybe I'll altern... [ More ]
