Euromillions

You know Oliver Philips then Admin?

 

If you pick out any other pattern - every other number, every 3 numbers, a number, then the next number, then two numbers up, then 3 and so on - I bet that these have roughly the same occurance as consecutive numbers.

It's simple really. 1,2,3,4,5,6 might never have been the lottery numbers, but neither have any of several million other combinations.

If you are going to play the lottery, any 6 numbers has EXACTLY the same chance of coming up. In fact, it pays to choose numbers which are not going to be popular suggestions, as, if you do win, you have a lower chance of sharing with other winners. For example, there are thousands of people who play 1-6 every week, so steer well clear. Similarly, most people play birthday dates, so numbers 1-31 and especially 1-12 will all be really popular.

Also, number 7 is really popular - don't pick it.

So go for unpopular numbers, over 31 and consecutive, but not 1-6 or, probably, 43-49.

 

Then why moog, does my intellect say that 4,7,12,32,37,42 are indeed more likely to come up than 1,2,3,4,5,6?

Surely if everybody followed that logic mood, then the unpopular numbers would also be incredibly popular? So we ought to pick 7 because everybody is thinking oh don't pick 7!

Is it just part of us being superstitious beings that we believe random numbers are more likely than sequences.

 

It's because you are ignoring unarguable fact.

 

But if I went with unarguable fact, I'd be ignoring my emotion and naturalistic tendencies.

 

When playing a game of random chance, there is no place for emotion or naturalistic tendencies.

 

But there is always place for emotion and naturalistic tendencies!

Every decision we make is based on them.

Coke or pepsi... we go with what we feel is tastier.

Same applies to gambling. It's called cognitive bias.

 

Flip a coin a hundred times it will always be almost 50/50.

 

So, you read a book.

But still, it is not difficult to grasp what I'm saying.

 

I understand, I'm just playing devils advocate.

 

Which means you are wrong and are looking for a easy excape route rather than facing admission.

 

You should be bl00dy ashamed,not even one main number.
Good news is its another rollover!!

 

The Draw is also follows:

05 16 20 30 41 *6 *11


So we did pretty badly!

 

Pants. The East Stand is on hold again!

 

My personal ticket, i got 1 number and 1 star? Isn't that like £1 win or something?

 

Since when did bonus ball go up to 11:rant:

 

I think it is something like £6.20 - well done!

 

P.s. sorry that my numbers were rubbish - I got 1 number on my personal ticket.

On the bright side I won £3.50 at poker last night...

 

Did someone say rollover? I think it will have to be forum policy to buy tickets when the jackpot is over £90 million. I shall buy another 5 for Tuesday, this time lucky dip .

 

you'll regret dropping those numbers,

Superstitious ?

 

Agreed, now you'll have to replay those number and get the luckydips you would have bought:doh:

 

Just to let you all know, I have bowed to pressure and purchased the same numbers as above for tonights draw. Same rules as before, if we win it will get extremely interesting around here :biggrin:.

 

Nice.

I've had a cheeky punt as well.

 

Could somebody explain to me when the Euromillions draws take place as I ALWAYS miss it?

 

Result:

15 16 30 44 50 2 * 3*

Still No jackpot winner! And i'm afraid the forum did no better again!

 

Still no winner? Fridays Jackpot is going to be HUUUUUUGE. Good job income is up for June because we're going with the same 6 again on Friday!

 

Yes, I believe the jackpot is over £120 Million this time!!!:sign15:

 

Estimated £136 million!

 

Brilliant

we can afford to get Aidy back

 

Is there another Euromillions draw on Friday then? Up to what time on Friday can I buy tickets?

 

Up to 7pm.

 

Thanks a lot, never tried buying online so will give that a go.

 

Just to let you all know the forum has purchased the above numbers again for tonights draw.

 

cool, if we win can the forum buy me a new stethoscope please? im not sure where ive put mine.

 

Can you pay off my mortgage if you win? Thanks in advance.
