hello da88, you play Daily Derby often? do you track past draws with a simple spreadsheet? some fancy lottery program really isn't necessary...it is just number distribution by position and probability.
I'm turned off because Daily Derby costs $2 and has higher odds than the $1 Daily 3. Take just the racetime which is essentially a pick3, if matched tonight they'd have paid out $50...a far cry from the Daily 3 midday at $640 for a straight and eve $480 tonight, waaay better payout...for beating the exact same 1 in 1,000 odds, and at $1 instead of $2.
Trifecta tonight woulda paid out $254 for beating 1in1,321 odds at $2. The gimmick of the Daily Derby is trying to capture the fun of betting on horse races...there is the longshot, the trifecta AND racetime for the grand prize, currently at $236k...but at 1 in 1,320,000 odds.
I'd rather play Fantasy 5 for $1 at 1 in 575,000 odds...someone won $111,723 tonight, on the 12th someone snatched $362,268 whew!
anyway, perhaps I can make a Daily Derby page sometimes just for kicks.
seeya,
blitzed
