  Lucky Loser,

  You make some really good points and did an excellent job of expressing them.

  maringoman,

  Yeah, when I read the quote that's the analogy that came to mind re: lotteries.

  LottoBoner,

  Nightingale-Conant will send daily e-mails and a Motivational Quote of the Day if you want.

  This is today's:

  "You can never get rich, or start the creative power into action,
  by sending out unformed longings and vague desires."
  

  — Wallace Wattles: American author

  Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 

  

  There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

  Weird, but that quote immediately reminded me of an old Mamas and Papas song (Way before my time, of course!).

   

  Words of love, so soft and tender,
  Won't win a girl's heart anymore.
  If you love her,then you must send her
  Somewhere where she's never been before.
  Worn out phrases and longing gazes
  Won't get you where you want to go. (No!)
  Words of love, soft and tender,
  Won't win her anymore, anymore
