Lottery Tips - Birthday Bias
In the last post, Lottery Tips - What’s Our Anniversary, Honey? , I showed you a graph of the percentage of date only lottery jackpots for all of the 5 number lotteries in the US and Canada. A couple of you have asked what good is it? Well, as with any good Lottery Strategies, they are worth nothing if you don’t use them. So, the Best Lottery Advice for today is how to take advantage of the knowledge we gained from that graph.
First, I’m going to zoom in on the 35 to 40 sized lotteries. The new graph is shown below. Notice that I’ve added an average trend line. This line represents statistically the percentage of date type lottery jackpots that we should expect. If a lottery is above that line, then it is producing more date type winners than is expected. It is showing a bias in favor of date type winners. The two most prominent examples of bias favoring date type winners are the MA535 and the AZ539. The opposite is true for lotteries below the line. The two most prominent examples of negative bias to date type winners are the OK536 and the TX537.
The benefit here, to serious lottery players, is pretty obvious. For example, if you are playing the AZ539 lottery, you should bias your wagers in favor of date type wagers. How much bias? Make 37% of your wagers of the date type. For example, if you buy 100 tickets, then make sure that 37 of them are of the date variety. For any other lotteries shown, find it’s percentage and use that.
What you are doing is playing the odds. This becomes an overall strategy that you apply every drawing over a period of time. This is not something you do for 1 drawing and cast it aside because it didn’t work. These types of Lottery Strategies are long term and consistency is the key.
