The rule 1. Assess the risks
It's no secret for a modern enlightened person, that casinos and various gambling establishments calculate all their games as, to always be the winner and make a profit. This is done very simply: the person needs to return the winnings, which correlates with his bet downward compared to his chances of winning.
There are no exceptions, unless someone specifically wants to give you money. Keep this simple rule in mind, to always look at the situation soberly.
Game theory evaluates any strategy in the same way: the probability of getting a win is multiplied by its size. Roughly speaking, mathematics counts, what is guaranteed to get 1 000 rubles - how to get 2 000 rubles with a 50% chance. This principle gives you the ability to roughly compare different games with each other.. What's better: million dollar with a chance 1/100 000 or 50 dollars with a chance 1/4? It seems intuitive, that the first sentence is more interesting, but the latter is more mathematically advantageous.
If you stay within the framework of math alone, can be calculated: it is impossible to win at the casino, because any chosen strategy leads to, that the product of the probability of winning by the size of the payment for the player is always lower than the bet, which he already did.
And also because, that money is nonlinear for us: formally obtain 1 ruble right now is how to get a million rubles with a chance 1/1 000 000, but in fact, the loss of the ruble will not affect our condition in any way, nothing will change in life, but getting a million is a very serious event.
How to win large sums of money in the lottery?
When playing the lottery, then, Where, when and how will you buy a ticket, will not affect the amount of the win. therefore, to win a large amount of money, you can apply any approach to the selection and purchase of tickets, seeming to you worthy of attention. The most famous approaches are listed below.
Psychological factor
Draw lotteries, where the sequence of numbers is proposed to be chosen by the players themselves, not only the laws of probability theory work, but also psychology. Since people tend to think stereotypically, then some numbers they prefer more or less, than others (eg, 7 and 13). So how to predict, what numbers will be dropped, you still can't, try to guess, on which of them other players bet least of all. When, if the unpopular numbers you have envisioned fall out, the size of your prize will be much larger, since in drawn lotteries, the amount of reward is distributed among all players, betting on a lucky sequence of numbers.
Lottery syndicate
Lottery syndicate is a great approach to buying lottery tickets, invented by experienced players. This method consists in the fact, what a group of people, united by common interests, regularly thrown off with money, to purchase as many lottery tickets as possible.
As a result, if none of the tickets won, turns out, that each person in the group spent very little money, to try your luck. In case of winning, the amount is divided equally among all participants of the lottery syndicate, no matter, which of them offered to bet on a winning combination of numbers (sometimes pretty decent sums are obtained). The application of this approach can actually increase (mathematically) chances of winning in proportion to the number of tickets purchased.
Multiplicity
Topics, who dreams of winning a large sum and at the same time fully relies on luck, a large-circulation approach will be convenient. In this case, you need to select any one sequence of numbers allowed by the rules of the game and bet on it every time you buy a lottery ticket. This will allow you not to bother with numbers and spend a minimum of time playing the lottery.
Distribution circulation
The distribution draw is a draw, in which the main prize money is divided among all the winners. In this case, the likelihood of getting a very large amount compared to the usual circulation increases significantly. therefore, чтобы увеличить свои шансы на выигрыш, it is worth buying more tickets for distribution runs, than usual.
Expanded rate
Expanded rate - method, which is only suitable for lotteries, where the participants themselves are given the right to cross out the numbers. for example, in the lottery "5 out of 36" the player, wishing to make an expanded bet, can cross out in one field not 5, a 6 or more numbers. In this case, the chances of winning and the value of the cash prize in case of guessing the winning sequence of numbers increase significantly. But you should take into account, which significantly increases the ticket price (when strikethrough 6 numbers instead of 5 - in 6 time, as it turns out 6 different combinations).
