I for one don't exactly see where Wentworth is bashing a system, any system.
In fact, the question he asks in his first post is right on the money : "so how do you do with his systems and how do you do it?"
First, it is great that so many people try to help other people, don't get me wrong as to what i am about to write down...
As a member of LP for many years now, there is one thing, one thought, that never left me. Everytime i read the posts, i am about to describe, i have the urge to shut down my computer and race to the toilet.
Someone posts a tryout for a system (tryout, that's what i call it, because that's just what it is) and the threadstarter clearly writes "this is a straight system".
Before you know it there are these emoticons popping up on your screen, when another user writes "Great, you got a box hit in state X ,
let's party ".
The definition of a working system is very simple. You make money out of it. It's as simple as that.
For some people it seems very hard to comprehend such things, so it seems. Anyone can post 200 numbers a day and claim a hit on it. One must be very unlucky to miss out on that.
Heck, post 10 box numbers, without state specifications, and you can party every day. But it will be with empty pockets and empty bankaccount.
Great, a hit, yet you lose your paints playing that way.
I wonder how many people actually have some kind of bookkeeping on their plays.
I for one think it is very healthy to question, hence express doubts, on any system, if the results are negative.
I agree with what lottolaughs wrote "This isn't rocket science... nothing is written in stone".
Yet i don't agree with the expression "there is enough negativity in the world and that will get you nowhere".
For me, this isn't negativity, it is reality. If you do the math, and the result is negative, then one is not being negative because she or he writes that down.
I've never used Lucky's system, or even looked at it, so i cannot comment on that particular system.
The problem with most systems is that you should be able to backtest it, against the history of every state.
The way to do that is write software. This takes time. And if you do this 100 times, put your time in it, and all very much appreciated with "thanks", when you post the result "sorry, failed big time against history".
Or.... some persons just bash you around, not accepting the math results.
LotSoftPro got downloaded over 30000 times.
I never stated that it spits out winning numbers. There is no system in LotSoftPro whatsoever.
All it does is save you plenty of time, because it does the math a million times faster than you can do it with pen and paper.
It's very simple actually.
Wentworth asked a question.
The response should be: here is the math, proven it works, you'll get rich using it.
Anyone?
