Hi BobP,
i follow you with what you write.
I don't know if it's accurate enough, but here is something i read not to long ago, and from my point of view this comes very close to what it really comes down to:
****************************
" No one really needs any lottery software,
anyone can make their own wheels, use filters, calculate statistics, find out what states had 3 doubles in a row (talking pick3 here), what states had no double in for example 15 draws, find the hitting history for a specific number or set of numbers, calculate and show a list of the statistics concerning times-hit / maximum skip ever / median skip / average skip / ..., and so much more.
Does one need software for that?
Well, that depends on the amount of time one has to do all these calculations, doesn't it now?
Using pen and paper it will take more than 24 hours before all the calculations are done, and that person can start all over again since the newest draw will have past already.
Using software this might take a few seconds, and that is one major reason one would use software that does this.
Why on earth would someone by for example Microsoft Word?
Anyone can type a letter on a typing machine, and it will be much less expensive than first buying a computer and then purchasing MS Office.
But ofcourse, there are so many functionalities in the software and that is the reason people buy and use it.
Is, once again for example, Microsoft a "scam-company" because a person that buys MS Office expects that when he starts up Word the perfect Letter comes out, without he typing one single thing?
If Microsoft would state such things in their marketing, then they would be frauds, but they don't, they offer a tool, and they make that very clear.
Same things goes for lottery-software creators. A site that guarantee's a win each time you play using the numbers created by their software, well... one has a brain, no?
But if they write on their site, or anywhere else, that their software is a very powerfull tool with which it becomes a piece of cake to get statistics, along with a wheeling engine and such, all things that will help yourself increase your odds, then i don't see why they would be frauds."
****************************
Now, it seems to me that many people play the daily games in quite such a way that strikes me as "strange" (which is totally my opinion alone ofcourse).
So i been wondering what the true goal is of playing these daily games.
To make a profit.
Right?
Not exactly, at least not to many.
For me it is more than enough. I am perfectly happy to invest example given each day $30 if the profit is there when one of my numbers come in.
Even if this profit is only $50 or so. (and the longer it takes for the winning number to amongst my selection, the lower the profit will be, but, it will still be a profit)
Anyway, it seems to me that most folks try to win in this game by investing so little which makes their odds of winning low, but if they win they won like 20 times the amount spent on that day. (but how much was spent entirely..... )
So to some the goal is not to win , but to win big time.
I find the daily games to be a game of patience, "if you build it, he will come" lol
As for software breaking the lottery?
Nope, a hit now and then, sure. Even computerized states, which would be the first target of CPU-attack (lol) are pretty close to unbeatable, because the the sequence that produces their "random" number is to complex for any unit on this planet, within a costrange that is acceptable for someone who plays the lottery to win it, to calculate within the correct timeframe.
Not to mention the "testdraws" in between live draws, of which none will ever see the result.
cheers
