i agree with most of what you say here, unfortunately the odds are stacked against you., thats obvious, and i also agree with the fact that most systems, even the best, are a waste of time, and a shot in the dark.
but you fail to bring up the points about when some actually do win. your life is not just changed, its dramatically changed....especially if you hit hundreds of millions, not only is your life completely changed, your kids, and your grandkids lives are completely changed. you cannot win if you dont play, simple as that. for the people that live in fantasy land, this next is for you. those of you that are realists already kknow this........i dont care what kind of highly successful job you get, or how many asses you kiss....in the real world....those who believe you can get ahead by being honest, playing by the rules, and kissing a%#$#, well i got news for you keep trying...and good luck....you'll need it....
if you expect your company is going to reward you with some great bonus/pay raise, and make you all set, so you needn't worry about money again.....KEEP DREAMING! or for those who think the gov't is going to help out and help take care of them when they get old, or get into trouble...uh, huh. lol.
for those of us realists, who understand the odds, and who know, and dont actually expect it to be that easy....let us keep dreaming...because i hate to break it to you folks, but unless you win something like the mega millions. or powerball, unless your fathers last name is hilton, or unless your the next computer geeks like gates or the nerds who invented google, forget it. your life is always going to have problems related around money, theres no escaping it.
in summary, i feel that anyone with a system, be it the best or the worst, has a better chance than most in winning. you could argue that most people without a system win, (ie. quickpicks), and that most people playing sytems never win....OF COURSE THATS TRUE YOU MORON... MOST PEOPLE DONT PLAY SYSTEMS. obviously if more people playing are using no systems, and using quick picks, or just random personal picks, they are going to win more often than anyone using the best systems on the face of the earth...statistically speaking, that only makes sense...that is not comparing apples to apples! for those who use their systems and believe, keep on believing, and playing and ignore articles like this....
i did just exactly that 7 years ago....ignored the pessimists, cause i believed and knew it could and would happen....and i beat odds of 1 in 5.5milllion, on a scratch off ticket nonetheless., but the odds speak for themselves.
my only question i would ask you to honestly ask yourself, and really put some thought into, though i know hypotheticals, especcially such as what im about to ask...that being....do you really think money is the answer, that is, is that what is going to make you finally happy?.....you know the old saying....be careful for what you wish for...? if you would like to know how things turned out drop me a reply thru the post....but be warned, it did not turn out like it would in the movies, or how you think it would if you won....ya...i'm one of those lottery winner horror stories....anyway, good luck
ps...with a little luck, and a good system, i am the first to say that even odds of mega or powerball can be win, i am positive of that.
