Lotto: Play for Fun or Play to Win?
Many people, if not most, would not think to include gambling as an appropriate subject in financial planning. But with millions of people involved in gaming of all sorts, and billions of pounds, euros, and dollars at stake, why not? Some people gamble for entertainment only; but what if you want to gamble to actually produce income?
Lotto is one of the most widespread forms of wagering. Although no one has yet perfected the technique or the formula to second guess the winning combination, many have figured out how to make good earnings by guessing the probable winning combinations. Some rely on math, some on intuition. The best opportunity 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 need to focus on possible winning combinations. You can achieve this by simply categorizing winning combinations. If you determine, based on historical data, that a 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 inflated numbers of tickets to increase your odds of hitting the jackpot. By not buying too many tickets you not only save money, but you also have enough to play another day (which might prove to be your lucky day).
Playing in syndicate is also a good idea but then you have to share your prize money with all the members of the syndicate and this means you still keep your job and report back to office on the following Monday. Categorizing numbers does not require a lot of brain power. What you essentially do is target a group of numbers and try out different combinations. For example, if you have deduced that 1 to 9 may be the combinations 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, not the other numbers which have an outside chance of being drawn. This system may not hit the jackpot but 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 wisely. 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 chances of hitting the jackpot or any small prize become zero. It means, even before the winning numbers are drawn, you have already lost the game. This amounts to literally throwing away your hard-earned cash.
So, the key to winning lotto? Well, the best strategy is zeroing in on the most probable winning combinations and then use common sense to arrive at the combination of six numbers. If you are disciplined enought to follow this practice consistently,your chances of hitting the jackpot go up dramatically. If you are going to gamble, do so intelligently, and play to win.
