Hi Everybody,
In a 1/23/05 post (above) I talked about how I use Gail's Chart #4 to pick my numbers. Well last night in the PA 6/38 (Lucky For Life) game I did it again. I had the last 4 of the winning six numbers picked using (not a wheel) but this chart!
What the chart shows are patterns and her Lottery Master Guide and manual accompanying the software explain how you can identify and apprehend or approximate those patterns for number selection. (No, I am not getting a kickback or royalty for every system she sells, in case you are wondering).
I've read almost everything Gail Howard has ever written. Nowhere do I remember reading that she guarantees any jackpots nor that her system is "the best". Instead, over and over again she illustrates her strategies and techniques with examples. And unlike the hundreds of people (on and off the net) who are selling THEIR own systems, she is the only one who collects and documents winners who used her strategies (and provided proof) to achieve their win. (As much as luck is involved, a win is also an achievement in my book!)
Is she saying you are guaranteed to win? No! Is she saying you WILL win? No!
But what she is saying is this: one, study what is probable or likely to happen based on what has happened in the game you are playing (as illustrated by Chart #4); two, applying her strategies you can identify what the likely or probable patterns are in the game you play. That's what I did to pick 4 out of the winning 6 numbers last night. True, it was "only" a $40. dollar win, but it was thrilling because of the thinking that went into it studying her chart and how that thinking, based on her strategies, confirmed the truth of what the patterns might yield and in this case, did yield. (Incidentally, I spent no more than 4-6 minutes studying it before I selected my numbers last night).
I wish the Gail bashing would stop that I read here. I get a regular newsletter from a gentleman who has won a lot of money with his numerous systems. He even shows you his ticket and the check from the state lottery he plays! God bless him. But what we are not told is how much money he spent altogether to get his win. Plus, a lot of his systems are actually wheels that require a large number of tickets to be played. I'm not knocking him, I'm just saying that that does not work for me or my budget. I'm not knocking wheeling either but I'm more into patterns because believe it or not, in randomness and chaos there are patterns that emerge, are discernible, and can be "apprehended". In that sense, picking numbers is a skill that can (and should be) be honed. That seems to be for me a more efficient use of my time, energy, skill, and money. But notice I said "for me". I don't know what works for you! I'd like to know so I can learn from you.
With Gail's chart #4 (not her wheels), I play anywhere from 3-7 tickets at a time. I obviously haven't won "the big one" yet! But this pattern business is fun for me. It makes me think that I'm gonna beat capitalism. These small wins keep me going. It's fun. Besides, although I can't spend a lot of money on tickets, I can't afford NOT to hedge what money I DO spend playing to the probabilities revealed by the patterns.
