Default How to win at Powerball and poker machines

Hi Tom,

I have a mathematician friend who used to make money from the casino. He had figured out a system where the odds were that he would always come out ahead of the casino (financially speaking).

He purposely never won too much, so he could "fly under the radar." He lived off of the casino for around 2 years.

Eventually they caught on to him - and banned him! Casinos don't like winners (but if you're a constant loser, they love you)!

He told me about another way some people make moolah from gambling...

Gangs of people will watch the poker machines. If they see a little old lady who's played a poker machine for a long time, but hasn't won yet... They'll kick her off and start playing themselves!

The payoff from a poker machine relates to how much money has been put into it, without someone yet winning. The longer it's been played without a win, the more it will pay out, when it eventually does!

It can get to a stage where the odds are you'll make more out of the poker machine, than you would put in!

But to get to that stage, you have to watch the poker machines that have been played a lot, but haven't paid out for a long time. Then, the gangster's way is to forcibly take over the machine!

That way, they make those poker machines pay! (The people they kicked off are not so lucky, as it's their money the gangsters are taking!)

The same principle can happen with Powerball. If the payoff is big enough, and if the number of ticket sales are small enough, the odds can actually be in your favor...

This is about the only way I know how to make math pay!
