Higher probability game

Gambling ads spice to our lives. My favorite type of gambling is stock market. I like it because is not actually 100% gambling, it takes a lot of knowledge and experience to be successful. Once you learn the rules you can turn the odds in your favor and make a pretty decent amount of money. Second best form of gambling, from my perspective, is casino gambling. Here odds are mostly in favor of the casino owners especially if you are playing the most popular casino game, "the one arm bandit". However there are at least two games where you can win, one is poker if you are a pretty good player, have a little bit of luck and play against weaker opponents and the other one is blackjack where there are also rules you can follow and be pretty successful.

The third form of gambling is lottery. You may think that lottery is 100% luck. Think again! There are ways to increase your odds. The first mistake people do is playing the highest jackpot games, Powerball, Mega Millions or Euro millions. The chance to win these games is very low. The chance to hit second or third prize is also low. Instead of playing these games better focus on games like "5 out of 39" or "6 out of 49". Second most important rule is to try to win the second or third prize, not the jackpot. There are no shortcuts or magic formulas to win the jackpot but there are lottery systems that gives you a better chance to win second or third prizes.

I know it sounds crazy but let me give you a quick example to prove my point. Let's say you have 12 dollars to spend on a "6 out of 49" game. You can play 12 "quickpicks". Statistically you may get  one number here, one number there, maybe 2 on the same line. You are happy you've got a few numbers but you still didn't get any prize. Now let's say you want to pick 9 numbers out of 49 and make all 6-numbers combinations possible. How many of them are there?

9*8*7/1*2*3= 84 combinations

That means you need to spend 84 dollars to play all of them. This is a lot of money, plus you need to be very lucky that the 6 numbers drawn to be among the 9 numbers you have chosen.

Now let's see how a lottery system work. I don't know exactly how these systems are created but I am giving you the "final product".

Instead of picking all 84 combinations the computer picks only 12 of them and they are:

1-2-3-4-5-6
1-2-3-4-7-8
1-2-3-6-7-9
1-2-4-5-8-9
1-2-5-6-7-8
1-3-4-6-8-9
1-3-5-7-8-9
1-4-5-6-7-9
2-3-4-5-7-9
2-3-5-6-8-9
2-4-6-7-8-9
3-4-5-6-7-8

If the lottery numbers drawn that night are any numbers between 1 and 9 or if you have one or two misses here are your odds:

Your numbers	Prize	Percentage
no miss	1x6 correct + 9x4 correct	14%
no miss	3x5 correct + 6x4 correct	86%
one miss	1x5 corect + 3x4 correct	57%
one miss	6x4 correct	43%%
two misses	2x4 correct	43%%
two misses	1x4 correct	57%

You played only 12 combinations out of 84 possible but you are guaranteed 3x second prizes and you even have 14% chance to hit the jackpot. If you try to randomly pick 12 combinations out of the 84 possible you may have the surprise to hit only 4 numbers despite the fact you didn't have any miss.

I played many of these systems over the years, my favorite being those with 5 numbers. I never got the jackpot but I've got twice the second prize and many more times the third prize. Again, I am not too serious about lottery, I prefer "gambling" on stock market but if you have any interest in lottery please check this blog from time to time since i am going to give you many more systems.

Good luck!
