Do you have secrets that you value? Many gamblers have closely guarded secrets that they use to give them that winning advantage. There are even secrets about the lottery you are playing. If you are searching for some advantage, want to improve your odds of winning the lottery or just want to save some money, then knowing these lottery secrets is important. Are you interested in learning about these lottery secrets? That's what this article is all about.
In a summary fashion, I've visited this subject before in some of my other articles. But, this time I'm going to get very specific and use examples from an actual lottery to show what is possible. The lottery I've chosen to feature in this article is the New York Lotto.
The little secrets I'm talking about are called Longshots. Smart people value their money and would naturally avoid betting on a Longshot. But, the term Longshot has a different meaning in the context of your lottery. Any lottery number that hasn't hit in the last 10 drawings is deemed a Longshot. This definition goes back many years when the lottery numbers that hit in the last 10 drawings were referred to as Hot, due to their recent activity. Therefore, any lottery numbers that didn't make the list were considered to be Cold or Longshots. This definition lingers to this day.
Unlike other games of chance, you would be making a costly mistake if you avoided playing Longshots in your lottery. And, that is the dirty little secret you need to know if you are, or plan to be, a serious lottery player. Why is that? Why are Longshot numbers so important to your success? Here's the answer.
Let's get specific and examine actual lottery numbers from the New York Lotto; a 6/59 game. We're going to analyze 242 drawings from the NY659 lottery starting on 5/9/07 and show you how bad things can get when Longshots are ignored and just how good things can get if you apply New York Lotto's dirty little secret.
To begin with, on the average, over 242 drawings, 2.03 of the winning lottery numbers were Longshots! That is 33.8% of the winning lottery numbers! Let's stop a minute, so that you can be sure to grasp the significance of this revelation. Out of every 6 winning numbers drawn, on the average 2 of them were Longshots! WOW! Therefore, your terrible luck playing the lottery over the last 2 1/2 years is clearly understandable. It wasn't due to bad luck, it was because you didn't know this secret.
For all lottery players, this information is like a lighthouse on a foggy night. It's like a spare parachute for a sky diver. It's like knowing that Dudley Do-Right will arrive just in time to save Nell from the dastardly Snidely Whiplash. The only difference is, this knowledge may not save your life but it will save you money! This is what I'm talking about.
We are going to look at Longshots from aslightly different angle. It required at least one Longshot to win the lottery jackpot 93% of the time for the New York Lotto. That's 93 drawings out of every 100. The bottom line is, over the last year, if you didn't include Longshot numbers in your play list, you never had a chance of winning the lottery jackpot 93 times. You would have been wasting your money on wagers that never had a chance of winning the lottery.
This becomes more amazing, the deeper we look. Keep in mind, this isn't some theory, these are hard facts taken directly from the lottery drawing results. This table shows how many drawings contained Longshots.
3 drawings had 5 Longshots
21 drawings had 4 Longshots
56 drawings had 3 Longshots
82 drawings had 2 Longshots
62 drawings had 1 Longshots
18 drawings had 0 Longshots
This table speaks volumes. You can see that it took 2 or more Longshots to win the lottery, 67% of the time. Without knowing New York Lotto's dirty little secret, you were beating a dead horse.
