Winning the Lottery - The 3rd Degree
Lately, I’ve been talking about the misuse and abuse of the word ‘Random’. Understanding the true meaning of this word is very important because it forms the basis of Lottery Number Analysis. The root of every Lottery Software program, including LONA™, is the existence of Lottery Number Patterns and trends. And, they exist, in no small part, because of variations in the randomness of the game.
Let’s test your knowledge by giving you the 3rd Degree.
- Did you know that there are degrees of randomness?
- Did you know that some things are more random than others?
- Did you know that it is possible to control how random something is?
What better way to bring home the importance of these three questions than by looking at the colorful history of the game of Blackjack.
Prior to thirty years ago, the common belief was that if you went to a Casino to play Blackjack, you would lose. After all, it was a random game of chance and the odds were in favor of the Casino. But, after some MIT wiz-kids figured out how to play properly, the bottom line at the Casinos turned red and started leaking like a sieve.
So, how did the casinos respond? They took action to make the game MORE RANDOM. Automatic shufflers were installed. Cards were dealt from a boot. Two decks of cards were used; then multiple decks. Profiling was used to identify card counters and ban them from the casino. In other words, as long as you don’t know what you are doing, you are welcome to play Blackjack in a casino. But, the key to this discussion are the words ‘MORE RANDOM’. If it was already a random game of chance, how could it made MORE RANDOM?
Exactly my point!
Since the stock market seems to have everyone’s attention lately, I’ll talk about it tomorrow.
