Well, I used to frequent the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

It's obvious why I never saw you perform there.

You're still "driving garbage" if you believe that!

Among the many places I performed was The Hollywood Palladium.

They used to present the Grammy Awards there.

LOL! Sheldon Cooper...is that you???

For those of you unfamiliar with "The Big Bang Theory", Sheldon Cooper is one of the main characters on that show.

I remember one night when I was 19 years old, I was to perform at a nightclub in Lansing, Michigan, at a place i'd never been before.

When I got there, an angry looking man with what looked like a gun inside his jacket met me at the bar and asked me, "Are you here to take our women?"

That was my last gig for a while and I joined the army after that.

*Correction: It wasn't "Lansing"...it was Jackson, Michigan.

After all these years, it's easy to forget that.

I did perform much later at Michigan State University in Lansing.

Those college students knew how to party and that's a fact!

This site is about LOTTERIES...not "casinos"!

From reading his posts, his knowledge about lotteries is minuscule.

Whatever he knows about casinos is irrelevant.

Both involve gambling your money on games of chance. Both have a wide selection of game types, bet amounts and variance. Both have lots of gamblers who think they have a winning system. Both are run by organizations that are guaranteed to generate a profit.

The lottery is a specific game as Blackjack is a specific game.

Both have a flaw that smart men know how to beat.

Ed Thorpe, author of the book entitled, "Beat The Dealer" specialized in Blackjack;

I specialize in the 3 digit lottery.

Of course, you would disagree with Ed Thorpe, and it's obvious that you would be wrong.

You'd get the same result if you disagree with me.

You could tell Ed Thorp that it's "impossible" to beat the dealer, and you'd be on the WRONG side of history.

OMG.

My aunt Buella (she passed a few years ago at the age of 85) used to tell a story about her first husband Roberto going after a performer and a bar in Lansing because he was wearing nothing but chaps and stuck it right in her face. I'm not sayin, but the story is a match. The Chaps had lottery tickets pasted on them and the women would tear one off and replace it with a dollar. It was the only time auntie ever won the lottery.

Was it you?

What are you talking about about? The lottery has lots of games. Some have progressive jackpots and some have fixed prizes. Unlike a few casino games, none of them have any play strategy. Selection of which game to play can have a bit of a strategy.

I know about that book. It's excellent.

I know basic strategy for any rule set, and I know how to count cards.

I also know that a three digit lottery game cannot be beat.

LOL No, it wasn't me. What I discussed on that post didn't occur in Lansing but in Jackson, Michigan.

"I know that a three digit lottery game cannot be beat."

With that type of thinking, if you had encountered Ed Thorp at the time he was developing his system, you would have said, "I know that the game of Blackjack cannot be beat."

Until an innovator proves them wrong, you will think beating the game is impossible.

You exhibit a negative mentality.

I'm not negative, I'm realistic. I'm not assuming pick 3 cannot be beat. I know that it cannot be beat. The lottery picks three digits independent of any drawing they have ever done. It is similar to playing the first hand of a deck in blackjack. The casino has the edge and they will win in the long run.

In blackjack, the composition of the remaining cards can favor the player after the first hand. But in the lottery, they don't pick numbers from whatever is left. They dump the drawn balls back in the hopper and the next drawing is a fresh, independent, random drawing.

Pick 3 cannot be beat by employing any kind of system or strategy. Winning is pure luck.

If you were a subatomic particle you would be an electron because it has a negative charge.
