Lotto: Play for Fun or Play to Win?

Many people, if not most, would not think to include gambling a legitimate subject in financial planning. However, with millions of people involved in gaming of all sorts, and billions of pounds, dollars, and euros at stake, why not? Many people gamble strictly for amusement; but what if you want to gamble to actually produce income?

Lotto is one of the most widespread forms of wagering. Although no one has yet perfected the technique or the formula to second guess the winning combination, many manage to make good earnings by guessing the probable winning combinations. Some of them rely on mathematics, while others rely on intuition. The best chance you have of cracking the winning combination depends on how you use the most vital ingredient required for every day living – commonsense.

Instead of focusing on expensive strategies that use random combinations you need to focus on possible winning combinations. This can be achieved by just categorizing winning combinations. If you decide, based on historical data, that a future jackpot will have mostly numbers from 1 to 9, then you should have combination of numbers that will include at least four numbers from 1 to 9. This way you will not have to buy increasing numbers of tickets to increase your odds of hitting the jackpot. By not buying too many tickets you not only save money, but also have enough to play another day — which might prove to be your lucky day.

Playing in syndicate is also a good idea but then you have to share your prize money with all the members of the syndicate and this means you still have to keep you job and report back to office on the following Monday. Categorizing numbers doesn’t require a lot of brain power. What you essentially do is target a group of numbers and try out numerous combinations. If, for example, you conclude that 1 to 9 may be the combination that you need to focus on, then your combination should be 1,4,6,9,26,30 or 1,2,5,7,36,39 or 1,3,8,11,29,45. Now with these numbers, note that your focus is on numbers from 1 to 9; the other numbers are ones which have an outside chance of being drawn. With this system you may not necessarily hit the jackpot but you will surely win decent sums of money to finance your future games, and if Lady Luck happens to smile on you, you can forget going to work on the following Monday.

The commonsense approach demands that you play alertly. If you are targeting the group from 1 to 9 it would be utterly foolish to draw four numbers in a series like 1,2,3,4 or 6,7,8,9 as the first four numbers; by doing this your chances of hitting the jackpot or any small prize become zero. It means you have already lost the game even before the winning numbers are drawn. This is akin to literally throwing away your hard-earned cash.

So, the secret to winning lotto? Well, the best strategy is zeroing in on the most probable winning combinations; then use common sense to arrive at the combination of six numbers. If you follow this practice every time you play, our chances of hitting the jackpot go up dramatically. If you are going to gamble, do so intelligently, and play to win.
