My recent posts have attracted comments from several proponents of lottery syndicates. In truth the comments are thinly disguised attempts to promote one or other lottery syndicate. I don’t mind this. I am doing the same with this blog which has a direct interest in www.HowToPickLotteryNumbers.com
The syndicate sympathisers make a very important point that lottery results cannot be predicted and make the point that the only way to increase your chances is to buy more tickets – hence join a syndicate.
The comments I have received miss a very important point. They miss the point that some lottery winners win a million, others win multi-millions. A win is a win but if you are going to play the lottery why not make sure that you are giving yourself the best possible chance of winning the big prizes. How to do this is the vital information we give to subscribers to www.HowToPickLotteryNumbers.com
Apart from the fact that a syndicate might be picking numbers in a non-optimal fashion, there is also the problem that the commercial syndicates are taking some commission or making a charge. This reduces potential winnings. The other problem is that if your syndicate wins, you win a nice amount but it will not be life-changing because it is spread over many members of the syndicate.
Having said that, I am not totally opposed to the concept of a syndicate because it does increase the chance of a win. This is particularly attractive to the person with the sort of temperament that gets great pleasure from the act of winning and is less concerned about the size of the win. There is nothing wrong with this. It’s like betting on red or black at roulette or backing several horses in a horse race.
My dream solution for syndicate players would be to create a syndicate that used How To Pick Lottery Numbers.com rules to pick the numbers and to choose when to play. We would over time win more than syndicates that pick numbers at random. Anyone interested?
