281907 2008-03-21 22:20:00 Some fair points - although you can't avoid double-ups so to get the coverage you would have to spend an additional x% - say 25-40%? Although you don't need statistics to prove you will lose because once the Lotteries Commission deducts say 40% or whatever for community grants and administration then in the long run (if you conform to the odds and probabilities) you can expect to be down 40%.

Drcspy has shown a way of managing your odds to reduce the cost of covering more number combinations while lowering the expectation of the prize won. It doesn't increase the probability of winning - it merely reduces the cost.

yep thanks but beg to differ

dependant on your playing stategy you can indeed increase the chance of a win....as you say your self


educe the cost of covering more number combinations

obviously the more number combinations you cover the greater your chance of getting some winning numbers within those combinations ? And if you have/had a set budget and you were not aware of systems and methodoligies of play such as those I have developed then your odds of winning would be increased if (using the same budget) you acquired those systems and used them.

All you have to have is the newspaper printed tomorrow.
It would be sad to see your obituary printed there as well.

281914 2009-02-17 10:26:00 WRONG.........

as I stated earlier heres an example

lotto 9 combo (i'll use the 'old' prices here it's easier for me to remember)

$42 = play ONE group of 9 numbers

Use MY budget 9 combo game
$6 = play ONE group of 9 numbers.....same odds of winning A prize (might be a smaller prize though)


now imagine your budget is $42 per week

what you gonna do ?........play ONE 9 number combo for $42 or play SEVEN 9 number 'budget combo' games for the same cost ?........

it's VERY obvious that for the same cost playin SEVEN different groups of 9 numbers is going to give you a MUCH better chance of winning...

the bottom line is that if you get smart and play 'budget' systems you can indeed increase your chances of winning yet at the same time lose LESS should you not get a prize.........so does that cover it ?......

Dont gamble your plan - Plan your gamble


But if you play a 9 ball combo for $42 and the 6 drawn numbers are in that 9 you WILL win 1st division.
