Don’t Guess at Lotto; Calculate to Win
Wednesday, February 10th, 2010Many people, if not most, would not think to include gambling as an appropriate subject in financial planning. However, with millions of people involved in gaming of all sorts, and billions of dollars, pounds, and euros at stake, why not? Some people gamble strictly for entertainment; but what if you want to gamble to actually produce income?
Lotto is one of the most popular forms of risking one’s money. Although no one has yet perfected the technique or the formula to second guess the winning combination, many manage to make good earnings by guessing the probable winning combinations. Some of them rely on mathematics, while others rely on intuition. The best outlook you have of cracking the winning combination depends on how you use the most vital ingredient required for every day living – commonsense.
Rather than focusing on expensive strategies that use random combinations, you should focus on possible winning combinations. This can be accomplished by simply categorizing winning combinations. If you determine, based on historical data, that the future jackpot will have more numbers from 1 to 9, then you should have combination of numbers that will include at least four numbers from 1 to 9. This way you will not have to buy increasing numbers of tickets to increase your odds of hitting the big prize. By not buying too many tickets you not only save money but also have enough to play another day which might prove to be your lucky day.
Playing in a syndicate can also be a good idea, but don’t forget– you have to share any winnings with all the members of the syndicate and this means you still have to keep your job and report back to office on the following Monday. Categorizing numbers does not take a lot of brains. What you essentially do is target a group of numbers and try out several combinations. For example: if you deduce that 1 to 9 may be the combination that you need to focus on, then your combination could be 1,4,6,9,26,30 or 1,2,5,7,36,39 or 1,3,8,11,29,45. Now in these numbers you will note that your focus is on numbers from 1 to 9 and the other numbers are ones which have an outside chance of being drawn. With this system, although you may not necessarily hit the jackpot, you will surely win decent sums of money to finance your future games, and if lady luck happens to smile on you; you can forget going to work on the following Monday.
The commonsense approach demands that you play alertly. If you are targeting the group from 1 to 9 it would be utterly foolish to draw four numbers in a series like 1,2,3,4 or 6,7,8,9 as the first four numbers; by doing this your chance of hitting the jackpot or any small prize is practically zero. This means you have already lost the game even before the winning numbers are drawn. This is akin to literally throwing away your cash.
So, the insight to winning lotto? Well, the best strategy is you should zero in on the probable winning combinations and then use common sense to arrive at the combination of six numbers. If you follow this practice every time you play, your chance of hitting the jackpot goes up dramatically. If you are going to gamble, do so intelligently, and play to win.
