Question for Brad

[tomtom]

Brad, do you know if BCLC plan any new game soon. I found that keno and the chaser game pretty uninteresting since they are running several times per hour, which also makes the prizes very low. For that chaser game it’s a few hundred $ or less, but since the odds are 1: 100.000, the usual first prize for pick 5 should be about $50.000.
Btw, do you have an idea why those games run several times per hour instead of once a day or so?

There just greedy and want more profits...

Well, in my opinion interesting games with fair odds, somewhat attractive prizes that run once a day or a few times a week would bring a lot of money, since players would respect that for sure and lottery corporations have guaranteed parts of net sales.....Or people are so desperate chasing any virtually flickering money, so it’s OK whatever option they have?

Hey TT,

I must agree with Sheba on this one, greed (read expected yearly increase in corporate profits) looks like the motivation here. Take for example the BC49 which doubled its ticket price to $1/play in tandem with CN49 this year. I have not played it since then, and don't intend to unless I can get one of my many lotto progs firing on all cylinders

BC Keno is a Casino style setup and stupid me, I did try to crunch its numbers once or twice, but with a draw every 5 min it was impossible for me to keep up that pace .

Never paid much attention to Chaser, simply because one cannot pick the numbers, but must accept terminal generated picks. Don't think many ppl play that game cuz a quick glance at the payout shows it rarely exceeds $1000 (based on 50% of net sales). Usually you'll see it reach the 'high' around the 5-7pm slot, my take is that's when the bar crowd starts flinging their pocket change at the game . Again, I think it's more of a Casino style type game with a draw every 1/2 hour.

I have heard of no plans for a new game in BC, but that's neither here nor there cuz I haven't been paying much attention to lotto lately, kinda busy with other stuff here for a while. So if you hear something let me know

Cheers

Well, the same is with me. But, after checking the web site and seeing how many 5 +B and 6 winners were there , it seems both my and your progies gotta work overtime at least…

Hey Brad

Which proggies are you using whose batting pretty good?

 

[Brad]

Hey Nip,

so far WINHunter is the best of the bunch for predicting. Gail Howard is the best I have for stats, had some luck in the past with Lottoman ... tried quite a few others but they're very spotty, not worth a mention really. Nick's progs are very good too though I haven't worked them extensively yet, just enough to get my feet wet bfr I pulled the plug on all of them (temporarily) ... my kingdom for more time!!

Think I'll spend a few bucks on BC3 tomorrow, thanks

Agree...that pa 1 stack(that I gave you...I will always do everything for a driend) is awesome for some lotto...So Winhunter is right there on top...But Nick's stuff is also on top...one Just got to know what to do with it...
For stats I have something much better than Gail Howard though...
