Lottery Strategies

Now that we understand Likely Wager™ Analysis, Winning Lotto Strategies - A Likely Story, lets use this lotto strategy to advantage and increase our Lottery Footprint (LFP) even further. For the benefit of those just entering this ongoing discussion, this series of posts all started on October 20, 2008, with Winning Lotto Strategies - Footprints on the Brain.

The last improvement in LFP was made using Balanced Wager Analysis. For review you can see that post at Winning Lotto Strategies - Taking Out the Trash. We were able to reduce the possible winning wagers to 3,053,665 and achieve a LFP of 8.19; a 13.1% improvement.

By applying Likely Wager™ Analysis in the last post, we were able to remove another 409,405 wagers from play. All of these wagers had a low probability of ever being the lottery jackpot winner. This shrinks the pool of the possible winning wagers to 2,644,260 and our LFP improves to 9.45.  That’s another 15.4% improvement! Welcome to the big leagues. You’re officially a Serious Lottery Player.

LFP=25/2.64426=9.45

So, How much would the typical player have to spend to achieve the same LFP as you? The answer is $244.

Dollars=9.45×25.827165 = $244

In other words, using the Lottery Number Advisor, you could spend $25 and achieve the same coverage or LFP as a typical lottery player spending $244! And Lottery Number Advisor only costs $80.

This entire process of trimming low probability wagers is called Restriction™ Analysis and no Lottery Software does it like LONA™. There is more good news. We’ve only skimmed the surface of this amazing topic.

So, ‘Oh, Great Fence Sitter’, what are you waiting for? It’s time to step up to the big leagues.

Lottery Strategies

Yesterday in, Winning Lotto Strategies - Not Bloody Likely, I gave you some background on Likely Wager™ Analysis.   Before we use it to increase our Lottery Footprint (LFP), lets take a look at graph of Likely Wager™ Scores for our Lotto Texas, 6/54, 40 number play list.

Let’s take a quick tour of this Lottery Number Advisor graph below.  Wagers in which the numbers are closely bunched together have low scores and are plotted near the left side.  Wagers in which the numbers are widely separated have high scores and are plotted near the right side.  The most likely jackpot winning wagers appear in the middle of the graph. As you can see, just as in the Balanced Wager Graph, wagers near 0 and 100 have a very low probability of ever Winning the Lottery jackpot.

The vast majority of lottery drawings are neither closely bunched together (low scores) nor widely spread out (high scores). So, spending your money on a wager near the minimum or maximum is probably not a very effective use of your lottery budget.

In fact, 90% of all possible wagers fall between 15 and 70; the blue area in the middle. Therefore, the Serious Lottery Player’s strategy would be to spend his lottery budget on wagers that fall between 15 and 70. As I stated previously regarding Balanced Wager Analysis, this accomplishes two things:

1. He doesn’t waste his money on wagers that have a low probability of winning; the red area.
2. His lottery dollars are concentrated in the area where they are more likely to do some good.

Let’s make this crystal clear by using the fishing analogy from Winning Lotto Strategies - Grab Your Fishin’ Rod. There are two lakes.  One has 90% of all the fish in it and the other lake has only 10% of the fish.  So, if you’re going fishin’, which lake are you going to drop your line in?

LONA™ doesn’t want our skeptics to feel left out, so, here’s one of her graphs for them.  As before, the histogram on the right shows that the actual winning wagers for Lotto Texas, 6/54, perform exactly as predicted by the graph above. In the last 258 drawings of the lottery, very few winning jackpot numbers fall below 15 or above 70.

This is true for ALL lotteries. Each of the 75 US and Canadian lotteries in our data base perform in the same way.
