The truth about quick picks!

I talked to a poor guy yesterday...real poor guy that is playing 50 quick picks every draw..He has been playing these since the beginning of Canada 6/49 way back in 1982...The most he ever won was 87$ on one draw he had 4 correct numbers...He couldn't get a single 5 hitters during all these years... :rolleyes:
I ask him why he did not reconsider his strategy at one point... :confused: He says that he always believed that he might win...just because more winners of jackpots came up from quick picks players...
I told him that this logic was flaud...Because most of the tickets sold are coming from quick picks also...I said to him that before long on any given night we will see more than 10 quick picks winners on a single night...All with the same quick pick combination...
He said to me that this cannot happen :confused:
Than I say to him...Why not ...?? Only by believing this ...you should play your own numbers...
:lol:

The guy's problem is not that he chose Quick Picks, but that he spent $50 for each draw. It is stupid to "invest" $50 on a single draw, whether they are Quick Picks or system wheels. A Quick Pick has the same odds of winning (and losing) as picking your own numbers.

He has wasted over $100,000 since 1982! :eek: If only he bought just one Quick Pick for each of the past 2,125 draws and properly invested the rest in stocks, he could have retired by now! :agree:

That's the whole point...Why would he ever play one of these quick picks...??? He could have 2,000$ + interests to add to is total sum of money invested in the market ....But the sad story here is that the market is also a form of lottery...He could have lost a lot of this sum there...even all of it...
Powerball you remember me of these financial councellors..They are always giving you advices on how or where to invest...But none of these so-called Financial advisors experts are rich otherwise they wouldn't be doing that job...Makes you wonder.. :rolleyes: So if it doesn't work for them..It doesn't work at all... :lol:
Besides,If that player didn't play quick picks :dang: ...And played a solid strategy all those years...He would have had a greater chances of being retired by now...And it might have happenned a long time ago...
By avoiding these quick picks...I personnally came much closer to an early retirement than him ...Just looking back at my $$$$ status in the last year...
:agree:

Never trust these quick picks...It is like chasing a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon rainforest will influence the Lotto draw in Toronto in the dark! Things that you can't see... :rolleyes: :dang:

:dang:
It is better to see when you are chasing a butterfly or lotto numbers....You have greater chances of catching it where it is... Quick picks are too chaotics.... :lol:

Retirement usually is a phase of our life but it's not a life aim.
You need a different purpose(s) for living.

Imagine such person, retired, sitting in a sopha, looking to the TV, blaming his life because he didn't try better ways of living... Money is not an aim, just a way to get your aim (it sounds a pretty philosophical sentence :lol: )
