The Yahoo home page has the Olympic medal counts on it, first it gives you the top three countries and how many medals, then if you click on USA you get how many Gold, Silver, and Bronze.

Right now it's:

United States

Rank 3

Gold 4

Silver 2

Bronze 6

Total 12

Eventually it will be a Pick 4 (or you can include the rank now) and then it will be numbers for a jackpot game, but I figured it's a good 'whynot' play it approach.

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.

OMG, that's a good one and I'm Polish! No wonder I can't hit my 3-Digit Straight, they're always coming in backwards!

RedStang,

Hilarious!

Tami333,

Play them backwards!

Casmir walks into a store, goes up to the counter and tells the guy behind the counter he'd like two packages of kielbasa. They guys says, "Oh, you're Polish!" Casmir asks, "How'd you know, because I asked for kielbasa?", and the guy behind the counter says, "No, this is a hardware store."

Medal count:

USA

Rank 3

Gold 4 Silver 3 Bronze 7

Total 14

lol, reminds me of the woman who asked for head lice shampoo...I work in the Deli Dept.

As a reflex action to the question, I stepped back and referred her to the Walgreens next door.

Another good one CoinToss. lol

Playing 343 since it's part of my sisters phone number and 343 was also Ohio's Mid-day yesterday.

Backwards: It's still 343, What do you know. Ha ha!!!

448, 484, 2448, 1446, 1664

I'm going to try 448 +3+3-1 = 777

Ah yes, Palindromes! If we get 4 more Golds we will have one, 848!

It's fun with words too. Like Oprah owns HARPO ! Or those that own a CIVIC !

I typically wheel those as my luck would be it would arrive 884.

Crap, MSL must have seen me add +3+3-1 for 777 and we got 772 tonight!

Because Why would I ever do +3+3-6? Then again, we never get triples.
