This is a great conversation that lottolaughs has generated and I certainly agree with Tialuvslotto when she says that the word 'system' isn't very well defined after having looked throughout the forums. Tialuvslotto, if you'll do a search on my past posts, you'll clearly see where I have provided absolute clarity on what a true system is suppose to do and how it's properly implemented. I actually prefer to call it an 'approach'. With this in mind, I'll reiterate what I've said in many posts from the past regarding a system. Let's begin by seeing what Mr. Webster defines as a system:
sys·tem (sis′t?m)n.
1. A group of interacting, interrelated, or interdependent elements forming a complex whole.
3. An organized set of interrelated ideas or principles.
5. A naturally occurring group of objects or phenomena: the solar system.
6. A set of objects or phenomena grouped together for classification or analysis.
7. A condition of harmonious, orderly interaction.
8. An organized and coordinated method; a procedure. See Synonyms at
method.
While there are more definitions of system, I've taken these, in particular, because they are more relative to developing an approach for numbers. Numbers (7) and (8) are the epitome of implementation. To properly implement any system, the player must FIRST abide by acting on the same draw criteria(s) needed each time they play. This will allow them take in data on how close, or, far away they are from hitting each time and establishing a baseline of averages and cost. Adding more numbers may be required to produce the desired consistency as well. Likewise, consistency can be defined by more than just hitting every single time...which ain't gonna happen, hence, DEVELOPING AVERAGES. For every (5) plays, a hit may be realized and this can be defined, also, as consistency. A player cannot accomplish this by changing everything each time they want to play. Quit trying to make your numbers find the winning combination and 'allow' the winning combination to fall within your system of numbers to play each time by 'following' your numerical requirements. This way, the play won't win all the time but, they surely won't lose every time, either, because they're abiding by the same principle(s)/criteria(s), pattern(s), etc. each and every time they run their numbers. Does this stand to reason?
Changing each time will produce flawed and inconsistent results all day every day. It also costs more money to play erratically. When I look around here, as Tialuvslotto does, I see daily changes on the SAME COMBINATIONS...and half a dozen new systems popping up. All for the SAME COMBINATIONS being drawn every day, and twice per day, in most states. How much sense does that make? With some minor variance here since we're dealing with pre-tests also, the old cliche of doing the same thing every time while expecting a different result definitely applies. Go over to the thread "Do Any Systems Actually Work?" and see my dialogue with grwurston on page (4). My talks there are consistent with these and all throughout the past...and are the epitome of playing by proper system. I've been trying to help people grasp this for a long time and some actually get it while others want to label me a 'wanna know it all', 'expert', and other sarcastic things...all in their private talks. That's cool, though. I can guarantee that I know exactly what numbers produce the best results, most money, consistent averages, and overall wins. I take that to the bank...literally. Hope this helps somebody get their system together now. Take your time and study what's going on...no need to try and force anything.
