  You can't buy enough tickets to outpace the odds. It's pure luck.

  You don't have to double. You can use a softer raise like following the Fibonacci row.

  Of course you wouldn't raise for a $1 when 3/6, but rather like for $7 for keno 2/2 or other.

  For the Fibonacci row, i would scrap the first 1:

  1 2 3 5 8 13 21 ...

  You could do softer:

  1 1 1 3 5 9 17 ... 

  If right in the next drawings it will pay.
  It could also pay in two times with an interval between two winnings.

  I thought it was proved many years ago the Martingale strategy is a terrible bet (unless the player has an infinite bank roll and the house has no limit wagering).

  Nope. Because it won't change a thing. In fact No, the opposite. No advertising. Just truth. Since the days of Babylon....

  Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

  So, you lower the bet until winning? Babylon is in Iraq, in the south of Baghdad.

  Not raise the bet. If I can't hit the numbers within my given selection, then I only lose that given amount for the play period and no more.

  I have answers on that. Let's say that you played a pick 6 with 8 numbers and a 3 if 3 coverage. You expect those numbers to turn up and instead of raising you now choose to play a 4 if 4 wheel. I go further, I pick key numbers and play a higher coverage.

  Thanks for that informative info. I however will continue to play within the given bounds of my means that I have set for myself.

  If lower means not at all, yeah sure. Maybe I buy a few here and there. Just dreaming. Nothing else. Yes, Babylon. The place where false dreams and betting began in my history lessons. There's always a hustler out there. Doesn't matter if they put a smile on their face and wear a jacket or a skirt.

  One time I got 3 white balls and the mega ball for about $150. I bought 10 tickets. Best I ever did.

  One time I got 3 white balls and the mega ball for about $150. I bought 10 tickets. Best I ever did.

  My best one-liner was 3+R pick 6 from 6+1 / 45, 1.25 EUR bet. My best six-liner had a 5/6 from 6+1 / 42, 50 cents / combination, paid >1660 EUR. I had 5+R in the 10 numbers. A nice keno two-liner was 5/10 + 8/10 from 20/70. I once pushed keno play to payouts far over 1000 euros in one month. I later stopped for playing lotto again. (...)

  In simulation I did 5/5 for 5/32 with 10 - 20 lines. I also had 5/5 in simulation for 5/39. I had several 6/6 in simulations, but there cash was needed, like 1000 - 2000 euros. I generally play for real and don't like simulations. They are just good to test the program or exercise the use.

  This is a light wheel by me:

  1	2	3	6	7	8
  1	2	4	9	10	11
  1	2	5	12	13	14
  1	3	4	12	13	14
  1	3	5	9	10	11
  1	4	5	6	7	8

  Years ago the 6+/45 was a 6+/42 with 50 eurocents / combination.

  It was possible to play half of the numbers in a wheel and play break even with 6/21 or get better.

  A simulation:

  Combinations: 1260
  Drawing: 1 5 12 17 20 21
  0 107
  1 428
  2 475
  3 210 * 2.5
  4 39 * 20 ?
  5 1 * 1000 ?

  Or:

  Combinations: 1260
  Drawing: 3 5 12 17 20 21 Reserve: 1
  0 0 69
  0 1 49
  1 0 283
  1 1 140
  2 0 342
  2 1 127
  3 0 176
  3 1 40
  4 0 26
  4 1 6
  5 0 2

  Lucky outcomes.

  Not the "mystery Babylon", something else Babylon, if I remember well. The real Babylon is in Iraq. Your army was or is there. We have a secretary of immigration from there. Doesn't look local at all. ...
