Todd thanks for responding. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Lottery Post is made for players to freely share information and strategies with each other so we all win. It was not created to be a group of people seeking to buy numbers from people.
I totally agree. Lottery Post is not the place to buy and/or sell predictions. I would not even want LP to be a place to buy and/or sell tickets. I came here over 10 years ago to learn and practice this beautiful art, this sweet science. I wouldn't have mastered my ability to predict the pick 3 lottery to this level if it wasn't for LP because this is hands down the best place to learn without all the extra BS, like too much advertising and the overall environment (people & info.) here is pretty awesome. Of course, like any family we have our disagreements, we have our bad apples that get on everyone's nerves, we argue, fuss and fight but at the end of the day, we still learn together, show love, and move forward as a family. I wouldn't want to spoil the experience here by allowing the buying and/or selling of predictions. Lp has been my school for the last 10 years. I do not want to be one of those people who learn here, invent some lottery product or service and then for whatever reason, forget to come back to share and help the LP community. I don't think people understand the quality of the environment here or maybe they do. It's hard for me to put into words. There is no other place online or offline better than LP. (insert another run-on sentence here) Todd, no matter how much we agree or disagree or how much we may get on each others nerves at times, at the end of the day, Lottery Post has been a life-changing experience for me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating Lottery Post and I want nothing but love, peace, health and wealth for you and your family.
DISCLAIMER: I prefer to give honest feedback and constructive criticism in the most respectful way possible. In no way am I attempting to argue or be an a-hole. I'm simply stating my opinion.
Anyone looking to start a business selling numbers to people can buy cheap advertising through Google Ads. Again, it is cheap, anyone can do it.
There are thousands of excellent systems discussed on the Lottery Post forums, all freely available to anyone willing to browse and search through the 20 years of forum posts here.
You are a marketing machine. I love it!
You may not even be trying to advertise what's available on LP but even just through your conversational word choice, you're still getting it done. I don't blame you. I would do the same thing if LP was my baby. Yes, for all those who are reading this, there are thousands of excellent systems discussed on the Lottery Post forums, all freely available to anyone willing to browse and search through the 20 years of forum posts here. However, as far as I can see, there is no one or any form of artificial intelligence in the universe that can produce a track record better than mine when it comes to being able to predict the pick 3 lottery in a way that you can consistently double your money in less than 3 days. All predictions are not created equal. Just like you can always tell a tree by the fruit it bears. It's easy to recognize predictors that produce high quality and valuable predictions by their results over time. I challenge you or anyone else reading this, to find someone who can produce evidence of that result (double your money within 3 days) or better on a regular basis from predicting the pick 3 lottery. I don't really care if people call predicting the lottery a game of chance or skill, gambling or investing. I care more about the consistent results a predictor is able to produce over time.
So let me ask you something Todd. If someone made the claim that they can predict the stock market in a way that can produce your desired ROI, or if a poker player made the claim that they can win your desired ROI if you bet on them to win or loan them money, would you risk your money on their ability to produce you desired results? What would it take for you to say yes?
You can experiment with your systems on the Predictions Board. And when you win, it is awesome.
Analyzing predictors track record over time is the best way to know how great or horrible of a predictor someone is. With said, I haven't been able to find your formula for calculating the prize and hit ratio. The main thing I want and I feel most people would agree, is to know the easily and quickly see the wagers/cost, winnings, Profit, and the Return On Investment (ROI). All other stats are extra. I understand you may not want to use Return On Investment since it has the word investment in it but maybe consider calling it the Return On Gambling (ROG). I don't know, that's just a suggestion. We can talk about it in a different thread if you want. I'm sure others will greatly benefit from that conversation.
So I personally recommend anyone who is looking for something different to play do some free research on the forums, rather than paying someone else for numbers.
When you buy numbers from someone, you have no idea how or why they were created. They could be random numbers for all you know. When you generate the numbers yourself, then you know exactly what went into it. You can actually enjoy playing the lottery by adjusting your own systems over time.
I also recommend anyone who is looking for something different to play do some free research on the forums. The reality is people pay for convenience all of the time. Most people do not know the name of the individual or company responsible for growing their investment fund. You have no idea how or why their strategies were created. They could be random algorithms for all you know. The only way I've developed highly precise strategies over time is by obsessively backtesting and making adjustments over time.
When you generate the numbers yourself, then you know exactly what went into it.
I totally agree. I've always been an advocate of learning how to create your own strategies. There has been no greater joy as a predictor than learning how to develop my own strategies from scratch. I don't have anyone to mentor me. I tried to learn other predictors strategies but after analyzing their results over time, they were either too complex for me to learn or they flat out suck produced less than favorable results. Many people have all kinds of reasons and excuses as to why they don't make time to practice developing their own strategies. Sometimes it just more convenient to use someone else's predictions. Most people don't fix their car, they pay a mechanic. I just encourage people to make time to analyze the track record of whoever predictions they use before you risk your hard-earned money playing their predictions. Maybe play someone else's predictions while you learn to create your own strategies.
In my opinion, buying numbers from someone is like buying air to breathe
In my opinion, if the air is contaminated and for whatever reason, you do not have the ability to breathe uncontaminated air, it would be wise to consider putting yourself in a position to buy/obtain uncontaminated air. All numbers/predictions are not equal. Once you analyze the prediction stats of even the veteran predictors you will see that their ability to produce positive results over time is nonexistent. Most predictors do not show and/or organize their stats at all or in an easily understandable way probably because they know they lose more than they win over time.
For those trying to learn more.
Practicing these two things can dramatically improve your ability to develop highly precise strategies.
1.Be specific.
*Include the state(s) that you expect to win in. [one state, multiple states, all states]
*Include the time frame that you expect to win in. [consider creating a drawing schedule to help eliminate all doubt about when you expect to win]. Get great at winning in the shortest time frame possible.
2.Give your strategies a grade
*Backtest your strategies at least 100 times before you even consider risking your money in order to get a basic idea of how accurate your strategy is over time.
Off-topic but on my mind: The best way to covert states from using computer random number generators to mechanical random number generators is to affect their money. If we can get enough people to stop buying tickets in computer states they'll be forced to convert to using mechanical random number generators in order to make a profit.
