Predictions for
the Lottery; Bah, humbug. That's what some people think. Others assume it's
perfectly true to use lottery number analysis to make lottery predictions. Who
is correct? Without any clear path to take, several players are literally left
sitting on the fence. If you don't know where you are, maybe this article will
tell you the truth and give you a better image of who's right.
The controversy
over the making of lottery predictions
Here is the claim
usually promoted by the sceptics of lottery prediction. Something like this
goes:
Predicting lottery
numbers is an effort that is wasted. Why evaluate a lottery to make assumptions
about the lottery? It is a random game of chance, after all. There aren't
lottery number patterns or trends. Everyone knows that it is equally likely
that each lottery number will strike and, eventually, all the numbers will
strike the same number of times.The claims seem strong at first, and are based
on a sound statistical basis. But you are about to discover that the
mathematics used are mistaken and misapplied to justify their role. In 'An
Essay on Criticism' in 1709, I think Alexander Pope said it best:' A little
learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or not taste the Pieria spring: the
brain is intoxicated by shallow draughts, and drinking often sobers us again.'
In other words, a little knowledge is not worth much coming from a person who
has a little.
Let's fix the
confusion first. A theorem called the Law of Large Numbers occurs in the
mathematical field of probability. It simply states that the outcomes will
reach the predicted mean or average value as the number of trials increases. As
for the lottery, this indicates that all lottery numbers will ultimately reach
the same number of times. I completely approve, by the way.As the number of
samples or trials increases, the first confusion emerges from the words'
Elevation to what?
