Your Gambling Dollars: How Much to Play

The question arises about how much to play any one game in order to increase the odds of winning. We at “Your Lucky Times” specify that you must play at least $8 on Your Supremely Lucky Times and on Your Very Lucky Times in order to qualify for the Double Your Money Back Guarantee. We arrived at that number because the average lottery player plays over $400 a year and we reason that you need to be someone who plays at least that much in order for buying the “Your Lucky Times” Report to be a reasonable investment for you.

But the issue is how much is an effective amount in order to cut down the odds against you. Many of the Spiritually Inclined feel that if you play more than $1, you are telling the Higher Powers that you don’t trust them, and thus “They” will not let you win. But the Universe is orderly too and we are trying to apply Science to Winning to demonstrate the Math Behind the Stars – and perhaps the Creator as well.

A man named “Dave” on his lotto website states that you want to play the “whole pool of numbers” and that the way to do this is to take the total of the pool of numbers you have to pick from, 59 for Powerball, for example, and divide it by the number of numbers you need to pick, 5, in this example, to get 59/5 = 11.8, which is almost 12. So you would need to play 12 “lines” of Powerball, presumably with all different numbers, and spend 12 lines x $2 per play = $24 each time you play Powerball.

He doesn’t take into account the “powerball,” which is 1 out of 39 numbers. So actually, you would have to play these same 12 lines with a different Powerball number from 1 to 39 in order to increase your odds for winning using his “system.” This would amount to $24 x 39 = $936 EACH TIME you play! This is a pretty hefty sum, we think you will agree – and a strategy we definitely do not recommend!!

The tactic is more reasonable for one of the games with no “powerball” or “megaball” that many of the states offer, New York’s “Take Five” or “Cash Five” in Texas. The jackpots are a lot lower, but they are much easier to win.

In “Take Five,” for instance, you would play 39 numbers divided by 5 picks = almost 8 lines. 8 x $1 = $8 each time. You can try it and see how it works for you. We contend that you are only going to win big money if the planets are aligned properly for you — that is, it is one of “Your Lucky Times.” But combine the two, and you might get a nice little stash to pay for your gambling!

The second part of Dave’s “system” involves advice about which numbers to pick, stuff about not picking the lower numbers because so many people play birth dates. (Actually if you want to buy the second half of Dave’s “system,” you are directed to a website that claims to have picked a lot of winning UK lottery numbers. The website doesn’t work, so we suggest that you do not put in your e-mail there. ‘Nuff said.)

The idea of Dave’s second recommendation about picking “infrequently used” numbers is that when you win, you will not have to share the jackpot with any one. Okay, this is a principle of a gambling money management theory in which you “leverage” your gambling money to play in such a way that if you win, you win more money. Horse handicappers do this. They pick horses by whatever method they use that are most likely to win, but they ONLY BET them when the rest of the betters, as seen in the odds just before the race, are NOT BETTING on that horse, say, at least 10-1 or something like that. This way, if that horse comes in, you win a lot more money. However, if you go “against the chalk” (i.e., don’t go along with the horse most likely to win according to the race course handicappers and what the crowd is betting) you can lose your $2 bet for many days as well. We contend, that you won’t win unless you are a professional handicapper or it is one of “Your Lucky Times”!

Another System

A statistician named Mike Sheppard, on his Lotto Stats website, applies statistics to the optimal number of tickets to buy for a particular lottery game in order to break even. He notes that it is impossible to win the lottery in the long run. If you keep track of the amount you bet versus what you win, he states that you will never make a profit in the long run, What he is saying is correct at face value. But obviously, he is not taking into account the Power of Astrology and  “Your Lucky Times”!

Mr. Sheppard analyzes a number of lottery games and scratch off tickets to give you your chances for breaking even if you buy a $2 ticket and two $2 tickets (4).

Then he cranks through all of the odds for winning the biggest and the lesser prizes to tell you what the median (this is the middle, not the average) win will be if you buy $10 worth of tickets, $100 worth of tickets, and $1,000 worth of tickets. For example, statistically, if you buy $20 worth of the “10x Cash Payout” New York Lottery scratchoff ticket, half the time you will win $10 and half the time nothing or some other amount, if you buy $200 worth of tickets, half the time you will win $114 and half the time nothing or some other amount, and if you buy $2,000 worth of tickets, half the time you will win $1218 and half the time you will win nothing or some other amount. Doesn’t look too good, does it? All of the games that he studies have similar win statistics — the State Lotteries have statisticians of on their staffs too. . . .

Of course, Mr. Sheppard makes a number of assumptions that may or may not hold, such as there are an infinite number of tickets. These may or may not apply. But won thing he does not do is to statistically analyze the birth charts and winning days of Big Jackpot winners, which is what “Your Lucky Times” has done.

“Your Lucky Times” is unique, in other words — there is no other service like it! We give you the days when you are most likely to win, and, if you are a typical gambler, save you money over the year by suggesting that you avoid betting on the days when you do not have Stupendous Luck According to the Stars! Remember that if you fit your playing to the profile of the average gambler, that you will break even with our Double Your Money Back Guarantee (restrictions apply).

Closing Advice

Here is some advice that every scholar of gambling agrees with:

1. Never bet more than you can afford to lose.
2. If you are losing, do not “chase” your lost bets by betting more. In fact, you should stop gambling (for that day).
3. If you win a substantial amount in a day, you should stop gambling (for that day). Your luck has delivered the amount you are going to win that day and you may start to lose what you have won.
