Back to the basics…
WHEN TO PLAY A LONG SHOT NUMBER!
I comment from Gail’s Howard (G.H)Lottery Master Guide (LMG) book: “Since one-quarter to one-third of all keno numbers are drawn each game, you don’t see many long skip periods between wins. The longest losing streak for any keno mumber was 35 games. In the entire 3000+ game history of a 10-20-80 keno, only eight times has a number skipped more than 30 drawings without a win. When you see a number out more than 30 drawing, by all means play it. Probability is on your side. A long shot number in keno is one that has skipped more than 10 games. Numbers out of more than ten games account for only 4% of the winning numbers drawn”.
We have pure statistics here! As G.H suggests “when you see a number skipped more than 30 drawings, by all means play it”! But it’s very unlikely to find any though...So what I do is to check from 30 drawings back one by one (i.e 30,29,28…) until I find this unique number that is due. Usually around 20-24 drawings back we have one, and by all means we have to play it for the next 1-5 games.
Two more notes on this subject: First, what difference can it make? After all we have just one number out of ten. Playing it alone will return a negligible win even when betting on it with a muliplier. Ok, but I’ve got a philosophy for keno: Since Keno is a ruthless game “a win over keno is always a win”. Moreover we can combine it with future tacticts and techniques that we hopefully enough will discuss later using G.H book.
Secondly, for those of you wondering how it’s possible to calculate a number for a game that makes a draw every 5’ minutes (time is limited) I can tell you that in my country keno drawings stop at 10:00 am and starting again on 09:00 pm next day. We can use this period at our advantage to find out this very number!
I will post some results from my Keno game based on this techinque on the next days as a proof (or as a disproof!!!) and I would love to see yours.
