Well, I'd like to say first, MERRY XMAS to everyone. I know I'm late, but, I just registered late. :)
I really like this website, and, I REALLY like pacattack's strategy for the pick3. I will talk about that later in the post, anyway, I just wanted to say something, to fasteddie, and the other "doubters" out there....
Everywhere you go, you will constantly, and constantly, have "experts" telling you...."No system works in the long run".... "In gambling, the house edge is always in 'their' favor"....and blah blah blah. It's psychological hypnosis. "They" want everyone to NEVER take gambling seriously. If EVERYONE, was trying to "beat" the system, instead of just playing for "fun", in which "they" want us to view gambling as, they would be scared. Want to know what the ratio is to "serious" gamblers (system players, professional players) to "fun" players? Almost 10,000:1. lol. And, the ratio to the developing "system" players, to the "pros" that win consistently, is almost 900:1. And, generally, the percentage of "fun players/big time loosers" to "professional consistent winners", is 98% - 2%. A steady "ratio" that has kept the gambling industry the way it is. And keeps it growing and growing. The psychology they use is so sickening, that you actually have some people so convinced, that they will try to proove to themselves, that it's impossible to win consistently in any form of gambling.
Well, lol, I beg to differ. I've been gambling professionally for over 5 years, and that is what I do for a living. I go to atlantic city, and foxwoods every weekend, and do the same damage, or better, on the craps table, that I have been doing every weekend for 5 years. I place wagers on sports every day, that makes me a monthly profit, month after month, that I have been doing for 3 years. I go to vegas every other month, and double, some times, triple my money, playing roulette, which I have been doing for about a year now. I got to the race track, 2-3 times a week, and ALWAYS come home in atleast some profit. And I have been doing that for 2 years now. And, to top that off, I know over 30 other people, that do all of these things, better than me. :)
Point is, not to brag, but to show that winning in the long run is very possible. Just as possible as it is to land that high paying job. Or, to get laid off, 2 years later, from that same job. Alot of "facts", and "probability", just don't always hold off. And just because "winning consistently" seems very hard, impossible, and all the "experts" say it's not possible, doesn't mean it's not. It's all psychological. That's my theory. You don't see many regular people walking the street, bragging about their career in being a pro gambler, ...lol, no, you see the lawyers, and doctors, and serious businessmen, that will tell you in a second, that "gambling is no good"...."don't risk your money"....
They are very right! But, only, if you don't know what you are doing. And, if you are going to do it with the mentality that, "it's just a game....it's nothing but luck..." And, without any "style", then, yeah, expect to loose your money when you're "unlucky" and win when you're "lucky". :)
Anyway, lol, Pacattack, and any others following his great system, I think I might have a way to perfect this system, for any state, where no qualifier will be a loss... give me a few days, and I'll let you all know! :)
