That's how I usually react to little kids who just don't get it. The only difference is that I can't physically take bonehead by the ear and lock him in his room for a time out for being such a dumbass.
I didn't lose anything. Both of you, especially you with your rediculous attempt at how Peter is raking in thousands every month, have yet to explain satisfactorily how he's accomplishing this. You say he's selling a book, waiting five years or more before he's publishing it, and bonehead says he's an avid gambler who is wasting tens of thousands every year for five years. No one in their right mind would do either of those two scenarios.
You both need to be in a mental institution. And you call yourselves critical thinkers? Laughable at best.
How in the world can either of you really believe someone, anyone, would spend 5 years wasting huge amounts of money money just because they're a bad gambler? He'd have to be the most inept gambler on planet earth. Even the dumbest gambler losing thousands a month would surely give up after about 2 or 3 months, TOPS! Or, end up like most, by losing their house, cars, family members, and probably end up as an alcoholic living the streets, maybe get help and starting over. On the other hand, Peter must so rich that he has nothing better to do with his life than to literally throw hundreds of thousands down the toilet, when he could be doing other things with that money. People don't become that rich without some kind of disciplne which made them rich to begin with. If Peter is that freaking rich, he wouldn't need to make money. Do you see how rediculous all these scenarios are?
Surely rich people and celebrities go to casinos and blow a few grand from time to time. They're not there to make money, but to have fun, especially in Vegas. But they don't stay in Vegas for five years blowing thousand every month, THEY FREAKING LEAVE, AND GO BACK HOME.
Or, how in the world can either of you claim anyone would wait 5 plus freaking years making questionable transactions by buying winning tickets, then claiming them as theirs, all the while dealing with all the hassles of this red tape, hard work, just to sell some "how to" book some 5 plus years later. Then the cost of a huge advertising campaign that would have to cover the costs of paying the taxes on those tickets he purchased, and all this work involved just to sell books to a few lottery enthusiasts who MAY buy the book. You two must be on drugs, OR, need to go on medication. Seriously, get help.
Is there a doctor in the house?
I guarantee that if I show irrefutable proof that I was making 5 grand a month free and clear, you two clowns would still try to discount my claims. If I uploaded a pic of my winning tickets, you'd claim they were photo shopped. If I siad I said I have proof of my wins by public records at the lottery office listing me as a winner, you'd say I was purchasing winning tickets to sell books 5 years from now. Or, you'd come up with another dumbass reason like, I bribed the lottery official at my local office, and pay him royalties from my book 5 years from now. If I showed you my bank account deposits, you'd say, well, you have a rich uncle and it's not really your money, just that you've convinced your uncle to go through with this charade just to prove to those two clowns on LP that you're really making money, that'll show em !
Both of your egos are so high up your anally tight asses, that nothing will convince you. Just because the math doesn't seem to allow a human to win may be true, but what you two have to do to get your heads out of your asses is to wake up and realize that someone, or a handful have found a way to beat the lottery, NOT by beating the math, but by leveraging their bets coupled with strategies UNKNOWN to you and me, in such a way as to consitently win. When I say consistently, I don't mean everytime, but enough to stay out of the red, and occasionally bet really heavy when certain indicators directs them to, and make a living off of it. You say it's impossible, but as Stack said, you haven't proved it. The math alone is NOT proof by itself. The proof is that neither you or bonehead has seen the system that Peter has, so you can't examine it and DISPROVE it's worth. Until then, your math is just that, math.
What I propose, is that no matter how unbeatable something seems to be, you ALWAYShave to leave wiggle room. YOU HAVE TO! There is no black and white in life. No human knows what everything there is to know, and how it is, or it's make up. NO ONE, NOT YOU, NOT ME, NOT BONEHEAD, OR THE POPE.
How many people in history have said "IT CAN"T BE DONE"? I can write a book on just that alone. And how many of them were WRONG?
So get off your high horses and realize you don't know everything, you haven't met every gambler in the world, and you are not some Super human with super abilities who KNOWS for a FACT that someone, just even one person out there hasn't done it. THERE IS NO WAY YOU COULD POSSIBLY KNOW. PERIOD!
You say simple math shows it's impossible for someone to beat the p-4 and p-3 on a regular basis. And simple math shows a Bee can't fly either, but when advanced math is used, the Bee is able to fly. So much for your basic math. Get over yourselves, you are not geniuses. You don't know every single person on this planet personally, so there is NO WAY you know.
