Seriously Improving Your Odds of Winning the Lottery - The Smart Plays

Well, there are two recommendations that always come up: a) Play a Lotto System Entry and b) Form a Lotto Syndicate or Lotto Club.

So why do these recommendations make sense?

Here are some examples from a 49-ball lottery - * A single 6-number entry gives you a 1-in-13,983,816 chance of winning; * An 8-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-499,420 chance of winning; * A 10-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-66,589 chance of winning; * A 12-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-15,134 chance of winning; * A 15-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-2,794 chance of winning;

For a 40-ball lottery, the figures are : - A single 6-number entry gives you a 1-in-3,838,380 chance of winning; - An 8-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-137,085 chance of winning; - A 10-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-18,278 chance of winning; - A 12-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-4,154 chance of winning; - A 15-number lottery system entry gives you a 1-in-767 chance of winning;

This means that playing a 15-ball entry improves your lottery odds OVER 5,000 TIMES!

But the problem is, System Entries are expensive. - Playing a Lotto System 8 requires 28 games - Playing a Lotto System 10 requires 210 games - Playing a Lotto System 12 requires 924 games

If you can afford a System Entry, we recommend you play one, preferably sharing the cost with friends. If you can’t, let’s look at the next-best alternative.

Assuming you wanted to Improve your Lottery Odds by 33% - what’s the simplest way? Just play a System 8. Instead of just six lotto numbers to pick the winners (requiring a 100% success rate), choose eight numbers - a 33.33% increase that allows you to get two wrong and still walk off with First Prize.

At this stage you have a choice. At $1 per game, you need $28 plus agents commission. What do you do if you only have $5 ? Either: - Find 5 friends, each with $5, giving you $30 in total - and off you go, or - Decide the best entry you can play for $5.

Actually, there is a very effective way to play eight lotto numbers - if you know the secret of combining them properly - that guarantees First Prize and costs under $5. Let’s suppose you chose the following eight numbers:

3 8 15 20 23 28 35 42

Before you proceed any further, circle six of these eight numbers.

The table below shows how to combine the eight numbers for the best results, at under $5.00: Game 1: 3 8 15 20 23 28 Game 2: 3 8 15 20 35 42 Game 3: 3 8 23 28 35 42 Game 4: 15 20 23 28 35 42

Now check the six numbers you chose above. This lotto system will ALWAYS provide Five or Six winning lotto numbers together, provided you have all six winning numbers in your eight.

* HOT LOTTO TIP * If you play them as FOUR PAIRS, eg 3 & 8 - 15 & 20 - 23 & 28 - 35 & 42 You are GUARANTEED First Prize if you have any three pairs correct.

We agree - it is not as good as a full lotto system 8 - and if you can afford all 28 games, we highly recommend you play the full system 8. If not, this four-game arrangement is a very effective solution for under $5.

So what is the Magic Formula ? Here it is - Game 1: 1= 2= 3= 4= 5= 6= Game 2: 1= 2= 3= 4= 7= 8= Game 3: 1= 2= 5= 6= 7= 8= Game 4: 3= 4= 5= 6= 7= 8=

Whatever 8 numbers you choose, just substitute your 8 numbers for the numbers 1 to 8 above and you are guaranteed a minimum of: - First Prize IF any 3 pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8) include the six winning lotto numbers - 5 or 6 winning numbers together if you have six winning lotto numbers anywhere in your eight - 5 winning numbers together, IF you have five winning lotto numbers together within any 3 pairs - 4 winning numbers together if you have four winning lotto numbers together within 2 or 3 pairs

Here’s how the conversion looks: 1: 1=3 2=8 3=15 4=20 5=23 6=28 2: 1=3 2=8 3=15 4=20 7=35 8=42 3: 1=3 2=8 5=23 6=28 7=35 8=42 4: 3=15 4=20 5=23 6=28 7=35 8=42

EXERCISE CAUTION - Magic Lotto System - or Snake Oil ?

You can find some great Lottery Systems on the internet. There are also plenty of rubbish systems, snake oil peddled by people with no respect for their customers. So how do you tell the good from the bad ? a) Does the Lottery System have a Guarantee? If not, avoid it like the plague. b) Do they give you a Free Lotto System you can test? If not, ask yourself - why not? c) Does the Lotto System have a 100% No-Risk Money Back Guarantee ? d) Have THEY WON THE LOTTERY? Ask to see a winning lotto cheque, like those at http://www.lottery-and-lotto.com or http://www.winning-the-lottery.com. If they have NOT won the lottery themselves, how good is the system?

This article was submitted by Double Million-Dollar Lottery Winner Terry Fisher, CEO of LottoMasta International, and is from his book “Winning Lotto Secrets.” His website, http://www.lottery-books.com provides an analysis of the best lottery books on the internet, ranked from 1 to 10.

Uncovered: The Powerball Secret that convinced us to seriously change the way we play Powerball.

In this article, we share how the truth about Lottery Odds convinced us to change the way we play. Dramatically. It will almost certainly convince you to do the same. To illustrate why, we use the USA Power Ball game as an example, but you will soon see the arguments apply to any Lottery game, 5-ball or 6-ball.

Consider this - the odds of getting the first 5 numbers in the 53-number USA Powerball game are 1-in-2,869,685. The odds of getting the first 5 numbers AND the Power Ball are 1-in-120,526,770. That’s the Truth but not the WHOLE Truth!

If First Prize is $10 Million, the odds are 1-in-120,526,770. But if First Prize is $100 Million, the odds are STILL 1-in-120,526,770 - except now the reward is 10 times greater. So, are Odds the perfect measure? We think not. Does it matter ? We think so.

The odds of 1-in-120,526,770 relate to buying ONE game. If you buy 10 games, your odds of winning First Prize are now 1-in-12,052,677. If you buy 100 games, your odds of winning First Prize fall to 1-in-1,205,268. As simple as it sounds, by using the info in the two paragraphs above, you can make a Quantum Leap in your Powerball Playing Strategy.

We will now show you an example. Suppose your weekly budget for lotto is $20. To keep it simple, we will assume your lottery starts at $10 Million and increases every week by $5 Million. It goes for 10 weeks without being won. If you are like 99% of lotto players, this represents your playing strategy - or lack of it!.

TOTAL INVESTED: $200

If you change your playing strategy to matching your investment to the size of the First Prize (and anyone with a Maths Degree can do the six decimal places stuff!) your Odds with the new strategy might look like this ..

Odds for $1 You Play Your Odds First Prize

120,526,770 $5 24,105,354 $10 Million

120,526,770 $5 24,105,354 $15 Million

120,526,770 $10 12,052,677 $30 Million

120,526,770 $15 8,035,118 $35 Million

120,526,770 $15 8,035,118 $40 Million

120,526,770 $25 4,821,071 $45 Million

120,526,770 $60 2,008,780 $55 Million

TOTAL $200

Your total Investment over ten weeks is still $200 - but as you can see the odds have varied dramatically from week-to-week. Under the old system, the odds were 1-in-6,026,338 every week. Under the new system, the odds are much higher while the prize is low - but improve as First Prize climbs. On the 10th week, your odds are THREE times better at 1-in-2,008,780 than they were when playing $20 every week.

MYTH NUMBER 2:

“Your Chances of Winning are Increased by Playing a Systems Entry” This is True . . .But again, not the WHOLE Truth.

If you are playing a System 10, you pay for 252 games. Naturally you are increasing your chances of winning by 252 times (over a single game). But the advantage is from playing 252 games - regardless of how you play those games.

1. When you play 252 random games, or even Auto-Pick games, your odds of winning are 1-in-478,281 (120,526,770 divided by 252). 2. When you play the 252 games in a System 10, your odds of winning are still 1-in-478,281 (120,526,770 divided by 252). 3. When you play 252 games in an organized systematical way, your odds of winning are still 1-in-478,281 (120,526,770 divided by 252).

Next, we should bear in mind there are some tactical advantages & disadvantages in those three choices. First up, Random or Auto-Pick entries have no guarantee at all, other than a 1-in-478,281 chance of winning.

With a System Entry, the biggest advantage is that it maximizes the number of prizes you win. But, regardless of playing a System 8 or a System 20 there is only ONE First Division up for grabs. All the additional Prizes are in the lower divisions. And it is still a CONDITIONAL guarantee - you win only IF you trap the winning numbers, but you could end up without a single winning number.

The biggest advantage of playing the Organised, Systematical entries that lottery books promote is a guarantee of a Prize of some kind. Just play two of the 110-game systems recommended at http://www.win-power-ball-lottery.com/power-ball-lottery.html - and your 220 games guarantee several small prizes. Add 32 additional games and you have exactly the same chance of First Prize as a System 10 entry - 252 chances-in-120,526,770. The major advantage is that 1 or more games in each 110-game set is 40% or better on the way to First Prize; you are absolutely guaranteed 2, 3, 4, or all 5 winning numbers from playing ALL the numbers in a mathematical matrix that gives a guaranteed result - and a guaranteed payout.

Also, those 252 highly-organized games allow you to use all 42 Power Balls 6 times - with a System 10, you get just one Power Ball. So, if you are organized and play all 42 Power Balls 6 times, you collect $18 from getting the Power Ball correct 6 times. You also collect from having Two or more winning numbers correct at least twice. Since the system uses all 53 numbers, you have done everything possible to maximize your chances.

Playing 252 games every week is too expensive for most of us, unless you are playing in a Group. So, what Strategy is best? We suggest one of these approaches. The first is for playing alone. We suggest the “What Works Eight Weeks out of Ten” approach. This can start as low as 9 games and build in sets of 9 games, making it ideal for starting low and building up as First Prize increases.

Second, a strategy for playing as a Group Entry. The 110-game entry guarantees 2 or more numbers together, often more than once, plus it guarantees you get the Power Ball at least twice. By playing all 53 numbers you make sure you have all the winners somewhere in your entry, all organized in the best possible way. This approach is ideal for a small group.

As soon as the First Prize has jackpotted to gigantic proportions, we recommend moving up to the 1325-game entry that guarantees Three or more of the first Five winning numbers. From here, what are your chances of Four winning numbers ? We guarantee Three winning numbers together. There are 2 winning numbers left in the remaining 50 balls - So your chances are 2-in-50 or 1-in-25. The chances of that critical Fifth ball are then 1-in-49. Agreed, you still have to get the power ball, but knowing you have 60% or more of the first 5 winning numbers before a ball is even drawn - that’s a good starting position! This 1325-game entry demands serious organization, and may need 40-50 members to get the funding together; these arrangements need to be in place well before you need it.

The final choice is using lotto software or lottery books to create multiple reduced-guarantee lotto systems. With 53 numbers - for example - you could have three sets of eighteen numbers (one number played twice). The major advantage here is that if you get all the winning numbers in one set of 18 numbers, the odds of First Prize are much higher than playing 53 numbers together. If your lottery only has 36 balls, 2 sets of 18 numbers guarantees a prize if your lottery pays out on 2 winning numbers (your worst split is 3 balls / 2 balls - and your best 5 balls / 0 balls!). A second advantage is controlling the cost. Most lottery software or lotto books would have several systems for 18 numbers, one of which should fit your budget. Of course, 3 sets of 18 numbers is just one example. Four sets of 13 numbers equals 52 numbers, allowing you to play all but one of the 53 numbers in the USA Powerball game.

Whether you are playing a game with 25 numbers, 59 numbers or anything in between, you can adapt this strategy to fit your lottery and budget. The book “Powerball Strategies” (available at http://www.power-ball-pro.com) outlines the above strategy in more detail and has more than 20 systems that can be used with any 5-ball game.

Many systems will claim to win massive percentages of their games, but from my experience most of them are just giving you a hyped up sales pitch. Sports Betting Champ, from my experience, is providing a very reliable winning rate. Even though that rate (97%) sounds ridiculous, it is from my own experience absolutely correct. When we think of sports betting, we usually think of risk. Now this idea that sports betting cannot be a safe investment is in question, I say this after using the sports betting champ system for three months. Developed by a PhD in statistics this system delivers amazing results.

Many sports betting enthusiasts will no doubt have heard the claims of huge winning rates from many systems before. This system though, from what it claims and from my own experience, wins at 97% in both the NBA and the MLB, no mean feat by any means.

This system has been in development for the last ten years, and half of that time has been spent testing and tweaking by the designer John Morrison himself just to make sure that everything was consistent and not some amazing streak of luck. When i say testing and tweaking, there was also a fair bit of cashing and banking involved as well, because John has certainly cleaned up using his system over the years.

It took John Morrison a period of 10 years, but he has managed to come up with a system that wins very consistently and does not rely upon luck by any means, it is a system that uses proven statistical results as its bases. John has been quietely cleaning up for quite a few years before releasing this system to the general public.

Those of us who are wanting to make some income from sports betting on the side or even as a full time following should look at the example that Sports Betting Champ’s developer John Morrison has shown in the last 5 years. The man has made over half a million dollars just with sports betting using this system.

To explain a little bit about how the system works without completely giving it away, I will let you know that this sports betting system will only bet on the certain games that fit the highly researched and tested criteria that it follows. Which means that say there is 500 games in a season, the system may only bet on 100 of those games.

The layout of the system is a little different maybe from what some are expecting, but I actually think it is far better. Instead of just getting the information in an ebook, you will actually be sent email once or twice a week and told exactly what you need to bet on to win. Of course you still get an ebook with how the system works aswell, but i personally don’t even use that.

If you are someone who has tried lots of sports betting systems like I have, then you are probably reading this with a lot of skeptisicm, and I don’t blame you for one minute. The thing is, that its very hard for me to tell you the honest truth about how this system has performed for me, without sounding hypy because, in all fairness, as i have said, it does what it says it will do.

I am really a fan of this system and could go on about how great SportsBettingChamp is, but the reality of the matter is that you have to make the decision. Based on what I have written here, you know that I have found something that really works for me. Just make sure that you research properly, and I am sure you will find out the information you need to get a system that will do what it says and add dollars to you bottom line. All the best with it.

Las Vegas is definitely one of the best places to visit for a holiday. There is so much to do at any time of the day that you will be busy having a good time your entire visit. Both men and women can find tons to do while visiting Las Vegas, even meeting each other or getting married. You won’t believe how many drive through wedding places there are.

The truth is Las Vegas is a wonderful place to visit. Especially if you’ve never been before. From casinos, to fancy hotels, to an amazing nightlife, Vegas has it all. So, are you intrigued yet? Well, maybe it’s time to start planning that trip to the desert state. If you’re worried about the financial aspect of it, don’t fret; these days there are deals galore found in cyberspace. All you have to do is jump online and start browsing for that incredible Vegas hotel discount.

Travelling to Las Vegas is quite affordable. If you have the skills to find a great deal you can even go for a whole week, which may be necessary if you want to check out all the sights and sounds. To find that deal all you need is to hop online and look for “Vegas Hotel discount”.

The great thing about cyberspace is the deals. Suddenly we have a large variety of vendors wanting our business. This equals lower prices, which means a Vegas hotel discount for you. Pop open your favorite search engine and see what I mean. Punch in the key phrase “Vegas hotel discount” and see what comes up. You will be flabbergasted at the savings available.

Besides the competition in Vegas, there is much competition in cyberspace to get you to buy from specific travel websites. Many sites will try to offer you the best bargain in order to get your business. There are even travel websites that specialize in only vacations to Las Vegas. One of these places is definitely going to have the ideal vacation for you.

So take a careful look at all the deals offered. Compare hotels to find the one that suits you. Also check to see what amenities are close by, perhaps you want to be in a certain area so you don’t have to walk far to see what you want to see. Although anyone who’s been to Las Vegas will tell you that everything you need is right at hand. Once you find that perfect deal then start practicing your poker skills, or whichever casino game is your style.

The good poker player knows that being predictable is a death sentence. Using only one or two different plays leads to having tells. A tell lets all the other players know exactly what you are going to do and sometimes what you have in your hand.

Playing aggressively is known to be a key to success. However, playing aggressively every time also leads to opponents knowing that you are bluffing. An aggressive play is when a player bets and raises when they have a bad hand.

The aggressive player will force other players to bet on the first two cards and the flop. With the last two cards, the turn and the river, a hand can improve; an aggressive player knows this and uses it to his advantage. He will sacrifice a losing hand in order to fool people into thinking he will always bet so aggressively.

Besides this, bluffing has other characteristics too. Due to the fact that he is actually holding a losing hand, a person bluffs to get the other players to fold. This is often successful and is called a pure-bluff.

A semi-bluff is when a player bets aggressively upon only seeing the hole cards. This is called a semi-bluff because there is a chance that his hand might improve. In any case, if the semi-bluff works and the other players fold, or if they do not fold and the flop improve his hand, the player will win the pot.

A check-raise play is when a player checks, or doesn’t bet on a round, and hopes another player will bet on, or open, the round. Then the player will raise after the other player bets. This is a form of deception in that it makes the other players initially think the player has a poor hand but he is actually trying to get the other players to bet for a bigger pot.

Being a deceptive play, the check-raise is a double edged sword. The check-raise play causes the player to allow the other players a chance to improve upon their hand whereas if he had just bet in the first place, it is possible that the other players would have folded guaranteeing his win. Even though having the players know you might have a stronger hand is not a good thing, it could help in bluffing.

A form of bluffing that doesn’t advance the game past the ante stage is a steal. The player will raise the ante if there have already been players who have folded stealing the pot from the person who is next in line. It doesn’t win the player much money because it is done right at the ante, but it is a strategy that is usually reserved for a point in the game when the ante has become rather high.

Poker players do have a regularly used play called drawing. The player is trying to create a hand from the cards in the window in a drawing play. If the other players already have a good hand from the hole cards and the flop, this play usually won’t work.

When a player raises in order to make the other players fold leaving only one opponent left, he is using the isolation play. A player with few chips is the target of this play by a player with many chips. This is deliberate elimination and may, depending upon the luck of the draw, take a couple of hands.

When used together and consistently, but not in a predictable fashion, will help keep his opponents on their toes. Being eliminated early is a result of having tells or being predictable. Winning the final pot depends on hiding your tells from the other players.
