Title: Why Lotto Wheeling Systems Work

Author: Mandy Sheridan

Article:
You may occassionally come across websites or individuals
who claim that lottery 'wheeling' doesn't work (wheeling
is multiple entries using combinations of a set of numbers).
The usual justification for this is that they say you are
entering the same number multiple times in order to create
your wheel, and thus spending money needlessly. They are
correct in one sense - after all, you could cover all the 49
numbers in the UK national lottery (the 'Lotto') in only 9
tickets (6 different numbers per ticket). On the other hand,
any wheel must 'combine' the numbers
you want in order to create possible wins on any one ticket, so,
for example, you might cover only 10 or 12 numbers with the same
number of tickets in order to create a guaranteed '3' win.

But... and it's a big but, in the first situation, you have only
9 chances to win the jackpot (i.e. 6 from 6 correct) and only a
slim chance of any other prize too. A '3' win, for example, the
lowest win possible in the UK Lotto is actually quite remote,
clocking in at about 55 to 1 against. In other words, if you
enter your 9 tickets every week, you might expect 3 numbers once
every 5 weeks or so - hardly a great return on your $50
investment!

And this is why wheels are so good - they allow you to cover
large 'ranges' of numbers without buying all the tickets you
would normally need to get the same sort of cover. The older
less popular wheel would usually require you to buy a lot of
tickets, but would guaranteee a certain outcome if you managed
to 'catch' a certain number of draws in your picks. Good modern
wheels provide you with 'statistical guarantees' - e.g. a
certain wheel might require you to buy 10 tickets to cover 15
picks, with the promise that if all 6 numbers drawn are within
your 15 picks, there is a 45% chance of getting 4 of them in one
line, and an 80% chance of getting 3 balls in one line.
Obviously, this is far more economical than buying enough
tickets the 'hard way' to cover 15 numbers completely. What
would you prefer for a prize of only $90 or $100 - an 80% chance
of a win at a cost of $10 or a 100% chance of the same win at a
cost of $1,000 ? Bit of a no-brainer really, isn't it? Remember
that the sites or people who decry wheeling lotto systems
usually are trying to sell you their own 'magic' lotto 'secrets'
- perhaps using 'lucky irish clover' or 'the power of
clairvoyance'. If their systems were any good, why don't they
just keep very quiet and win the lotto themselves, week after
week?

If you want to play around with wheels for free,
WinthatLotto.com has a number of free online wheeling systems
that allow you to cover up to 20 numbers using only 10 tickets,
with guarantees that will payout up to 4 ball wins. And the odds
of a 4 ball win using normal techniques are over 1,031 to 1
against! As you can see, a good modern lotto wheeling system
will allow you to 'stay in the game' by catching regular small
wins that help to offset or even cover completely your costs.
And if it doesn't cost anything, why not play?! Picking at
random brings you no guarantee above and beyond the certainty
that the lottery executives salaries will get paid!
