"Gail Howard has sold tens of thousands of copies of the software and several hundred peoplw have taken the time to thank her for a big win. Even if that figure is a small percentage of people who have won, it is still a small percentage of those who bought the software and books. "
The key in my opinion is INTELLIGIBLY and INTUITIVELY using her (or anyone else's) software, Bob. You can buy a $10,000 tennis racket and still not beat the pro's; it's HOW you use it and what skill and strategy and finesse you can apply.
"The software is not a good predictor of winning numbers, play 24 chosen of 49 and expect to have 2, 3 or 4 correct numbers among the 24, with all 6 winning numbers about one time in 100 tries."
The key, as you know Bob, is pattern recognition and identification and apprehension. She nor anyone else claims to "predict" numbers. You have to try to get an intuitive feel to "forecast" (not predict) the numbers. No forecasting is perfect, hence this is why the lotteries are able to stay in business as you know.
"You are generally better off playing all the numbers or most of the numbers in as many lines as your budget will allow."
I think this is a very poor strategy unless you use the trap by overlap. Try playing all the possible combinations in a 5/39 game or MegaRip and you will have spent hundreds of thousands or millions.
"If you want wheels, either subscribe to Lottery Post, there are excellent wheels here or go to http://www.ldir.com and download the fully functional demo of Lottery Director which has 800 wheels you can use and filter whether you eventually buy the software or not. The GH wheels are either standard Demitrov wheels if older or computer generated which eliminates some of the tricks wheel masters used to work into their wheels."
As you know, a wheel is only as good as the number selection strategy that goes into it, a topic she well covers in her Lottery Master Guide book and software manual. Otherwise, a wheel is a crapshoot and a waste of money in my opinion.
By the way, a computer generated wheel is very convenient since you do not have to do the combinations manually on paper.
What software or wheels do you have available for purchase? I might purchase it if you can describe features and a track record.
