It's a fine point I'm trying to make here ....and it's my fault if I can't make it clearer . Let me give it another shot.
If you don't win .....you never know how close your numbers came on any particular day right. If you play mixed numbers you have no idea really .
If, someone only plays ALL ODD oR EVEN numbers 365 days a year..... then .... several times a year he had a damn good shot at a win. On those days he and a few others have better odds. He knew he got closer on that day than anyone playing MIXED numbers .....he knew his numbers were within a specific range of numbers that day. Perhaps only 11,628 if all even day.... MIXED numbers didn't have any chance at all on those particular days.
How about this way of looking at it..
If, someone with the State Gaming board ..... someone on the inside said ....he could fix the game in such a way several times a year. Not all the way FIX ..... just partly.
If,he said ..... I can't fix the whole game and give you the exact numbers on those days ......but I can tell you what I can do........." I can quarantee ALL ODD or ALL EVEN numbers will be the only numbers that will come up on certain days...... are you interested" ???
The moral thing aside for the moment.. for demo purposes .. you would say ....sure ! Because on those days you could afford to cover the entire range of ODDs that particular day ....even if you didn't know the exact ODD numbers. Get it ?
Sorry ...... I don't have a guy on the inside that can tell us what particular days .....he will toss only EVEN numbers out for us and lower our odds down to around 11,000 to 1 instead of HALF a Million.......so.... we will just have to play every day like that ...and instead ...just play as many tickets like that as we can.
Maybe you would enjoy this old PICK 5 post .... it was interesting and fun.
