It is going to be real hard for some to take the credit out of my next few picks....you better believe it!!!
Lurkers
Dennis:
I hope you, Beaker, and Peter to name a few don't get too discouraged.
I got a question which LT might answer. Could we not use private messages on this board along with the public postings? The other thing I'd like to know is how could we exchange E-Mail addresses without getting LT upset with us.
I've learned so much from you guys and I have other ideas and "what if questions" which I'm currently exploring and will share. I think its mostly its comon sense and experience to have some sucess in this game.
If I can have at least 3 numbers matched per draw consistantly, I think its an accomplishment.
Regards,
George

I think if private messaging was allowed, this board would take a different direction, and not necessarily a good one. I don't know why you are worried about lurkers using your numbers when so far none of our picks that have been posted has really won a humungous amount of money, which means the lurkers haven't won a damn thing either IF they are even using them. This is a public message board for all to use, there is no rule saying they have to post. I think most are just curious and that's why they sign up, not because they expect to find the magic formula. My question is "if LT allows the pm or e-mail option, does that mean you will no longer post here? Or will you bother to post at all? And why all of a sudden this shift in not wanting to post for the benefit of the lurkers?"

Well, as Dennis so eloquently said, we are competing with the astronomical odds against winning, not each other. I try to give people at least 1 good number to play - take it or leave it - it's only 1 number. The likelihood of any of my tickets being repeated by someone here is extremely small. A good example of that is the test picks by George and Dennis - 200 tickets not one the sameSheba said:Private messages!

Looking at the post counts of Dennis and myself - the total is 6824. 3 out of 10 posts on this site come from 2 people
We've had a few new members here now who bring some fresh ideas - let's hear from them for awhile - see what kind of mettle they have

I can remember alot of times on this board when newcomers were welcomed and encouraged to ask questions, "because that's why we're here and we don't mind trying to help each other" I think there would be more members who would participate if they didn't think they would get the third degree. Just ask George.. he can tell you. I guess he's one of the brave ones. But, I think to say that if a newbie came aboard and won THE jackpot and then turn around and say it was only because of hints and thoughts of current members, then that is ludicrous. That newbie may very well have had his or her own method of choosing numbers and maybe WE could all benefit from that.
You know, I could turn around and say "yes, I'm a jackpot winner," but does that mean it's really because I used other peoples' numbers? Hardly..

Precisely Maggie - let's here from them. But when a newbie comes and says they have all the answers I don't buy it - I'm skeptical Post some picks - before the draw - show me.
When someone says they play 30 numbers, play 100 filtered tickets and hit with 3, with homegrown software, my ears start to get red - this is some awesome feat and I want to know more. Thankfully, George has provided some of his thoughts and now I have a better understanding of what he does.
Same with tomatin2001 with pick3 - he proved his mettle after his claims.
Others have not. Hopefully, they shed some light for us.
I'll sit on the sidelines for awhile.
But I always watch your picks Maggie

I'm with you on that as well, Beaker. I'm a little bit skeptical when someone claims to know all the answers. I want to see more. Posting or editing picks after the draw is not the way to go 
May as well go back to being a lurker.
And yes, George has been a wealth of info so far. I think I said this before, I just wish I was a little more computer savvy to keep up with you guys. I guess I'm in the wrong profession.
Keep watching, Beak, some day it might be a race through those doors.

Its a shame the ones who do contribute are not able to join forces with the others who do and make more effective progress. Might not be possible in the forum... ...is there another?

Just saw your question, Beaker..
I think people genuinely do pay attention to these hints, especially to the ones that keep hitting them. I know I have been watching them. As for some others, I look at them and say "no way" I especially pay attention when I have those hints in my own picks. Or if I think those numbers will show up in the next few draws. You've been popping them pretty damn good lately, so I'm watching them. I honestly can't say that I've made an effort to play any of the hints, only if I have them in my picks. And I usually post my picks early so I don't see alot of those hints until later. I don't know what the others think about them, they'll have to tell you themselves.

Another what - forum?gsobier said:
like email?All I will say about that is this is the forum to do it. All the committed players are here - for Canada's 6/49.
George, you have hit the nail on the head. All we want to do is to get a leg up on this lotto thing. Some want only to win the jackpot - anything else is stupid. Others play to win more than they bet on a consistent basis. That's where I fit. Some time back, we wanted a few players to post their 'best bets' believing that everyone has some 'feeling' about a number that was coming.
Think of it - 6 people posting 2 best bets - as Peter would say absolute can't miss picks- 12 numbers you could wheel any way you want. You might hit 4 or 5 numbers consistently every draw!!
Ask Peter
he'll tell you.I think, for what it's worth, the message, that some of us are trying to say is. We wish more people would participate. Yes perhaps we were a bit harsh to George, Those of us who were apologized to him. We all do make mistakes, and wish we could take back things we have said.
And yes this is an open forum, I relish "new blood" or "newbies if you will.I welcome new ideas, I'm not as computer saavy either, as others. But the point was well made by Dennis and Beaker, that we should try to overcome the Lotto odds. This partnership that we all share here together, is somewhat like a marriage, when one or the other partners don't contribute, it creates ill will, and animosity, it does'nt work.
I enjoy being here, and the interaction I have with others, I hope it can continue.
Also, when you have this many people in one room, not everyone is going to always agree, and get along. Thats a fact of life.
How many of us get along with everyone we know.....exactly, thats my point.

Maggie:
I didn't post my actual picks and if I did it, would not change anything, whats done is done... ...only had 1 ticket with 3 numbers on it. Remember when Dennis "lost it", BTW, he is forgiven. My point is, it would do me no good to state things which are untrue in this forum. If I have sucess, thats good, if I get skunked or almost skunked like in the last draw, I'll admit it.
Moving forward, my number selection needs to improve more. I have to consider things like repeaters, hot and cold numbers MUCH more to produce better results. The 30 numbers is an indicator of some value. The most frequent pattern is, we would get 4 in the 30 and 19 in the 2. I think playing the "favorites" and using the 30 might help (don't know how much but its an indicator).
As for computer savvy, well, I've been a programmer for over 25 years and the things I've tried and wrote for the lottery is a tremendous amount of effort. While doing all that work, I've learned a tremendous amount too.
I'm sure most players like yourself rely on already written software and spreadsheets tailored to the lottery (which is programming to a degree). To tackle a complex problem (treating this like anything else I've worked with) like the lottery needs programming which must stand the test of time. I've just started so the jury is still out on my stuff. There are ways, I hope to find them.
Happy Mother's Day to all!

As you can see, I'm still learing and don't know about any other forums, guess that answers that question, eh. As far as "best bet"... ...I'm not good enough yet to make those kinds of calls... ...if I had to, I'd predict a repeater everytime.

I'm not good at it either - but I like the challenge and when they hit it's really sweet
especially when they are in a DN wheel 
I think its an intuitive skill that you can develop
Peter:
The way I see it, you guys were testing me and impostors have come and gone from what I see here (right Dennis).
I might be new blood but I've got a REAL keyboard (you know, the ones which came with an IBM PS/2).
Team work of some kind is what I'm seeking. If there are lurkers, fine let 'em.
As far as lurking goes, I told Dennis I took some of his advice for the Super 7 on Friday. When I get data and things for Super 7 going, I'll post numbers like I do here. For now, a few hints for Super 7 is all I've got now.
Beaker tell me "best bet" calls have produced 4 and 5 numbers from 12 wheeled... ...WOW, thats incredible
!!
