BushHappy program/Note on Howard
Dear BushHappy and other Forum members,
I would be happy to receive a copy of your System for eliminating up to 16 numbers in the Excel format you specified. I don't know how you can send it or if we need the Administrator's permission. You seem very knowledgeable on this topic.
Now if only Snowy could explain how one can eliminate 75% of the lottery combinations in one go? All the info. on combinations eliminated that I know off says that if you remove all possible draws with 3 sequential numbers, you take out 26% of the combinations in a 6/50 game"(according to the Texas Lotto Red Book) And if you throw in the obvious All High,Low,Even or Odd, you eliminate around 31% of the numbers before you even make a draw. I personally would prefer even higher eliminations of combinations--say something approaching 35-40%. So, once again we come back to your proposal. The best way to reduce the odds is JUST to remove certain numbers from the draw. By removing just 4 numbers, you push down the odds by 41% from 1 in 13.983 Million(6/49) to 8.145 Million(6/45). With 12-16 numbers eliminated, I think the odds of winning some of the smaller prizes are, let's say, better than even.
As an Aside, has ANY? Forum member read Gail Howard's book "Lottery Master Guide?" I have been viewing the 20 posted reviews on Amazon on her book and while some people say it is excellent, others maintain that it is really just chock full of commercials for Ms. Howard's software and web site and does not contain many useful tips for the time challenged lottery player--unless you have many hours to devote toward the charting the trends. The contrast in the Commentary is glaring and quite unnerving sometimes.
Thank You.
