"The lottery balls don't have memory!" - or do they?

Yet, the lotto or lottery balls follow probability rules, the general laws of randomness. They (mis)think that the lottery is a random phenomenon — as if there were other phenomena that are non-random! The lotto balls don't have memory but can be analyzed mathematically with the purpose to win. The lottery balls are numbers following probability and statistical rules. The misfits of probability theory (includes your teachers/professors) strongly advocate the existence of one and only one element: Individual probability, p. Real life, the entire Universe indeed, consist of two other fundamental elements that describe randomness: Degree of certainty, DC, and number of trials, N. Add to them the watchdog of Almighty Randomness: Standard deviation. We should always say and mean 'Good luck!' For it is not dicey but just random; thousands of people die everyday randomly (unexpectedly, we say). Thousands of gods have died randomly since Homo sapiens created probability tools sui generis named GODS.

• Your reply has only one merit. You did not call the author an idiot, or a moron, etc. The mud-bottom category replies in that fashion, especially when yours truly is concerned. Your reply does not deal with the heart of the matter, however. A formula is at the center of my post: the Fundamental Formula of Gambling' (FFG):

where: N = the number of tries for an event of probability = p to appear with the degree of certainty = DC.

Is the formula flawed, in your opinion? If so, why and/or where? Argue mathematically. Based on FFG, any lotto number does repeat, in over 50% of the cases, after a number of drawings less than or equal to its median (the point where the degree of certainty DC = 50%). Looks like the numbers remember when the time has come to hit again! For if they don't hit inside the FFG median, they are left outside and get cold (frigid, that is)!

That's the formula. Move next to real life cases. Take a lottery database, any lottery in the world. As far as I know, FFG has not been invalidated in any lottery. Do you have evidence to the contrary? Evidence based on real-life lotto and lottery drawings (or draws, or results, or history). If yes, you need make it public to support your argument.

Given the fact that numbers do repeat more often under the median, the same is true about 'pairings of numbers'. Again, FFG has been validated in any lottery database. You can analyze all lotto games in this great world of ours. You can also 'invent' your lotto games by simulating random drawings. I can guarantee that, within an optimal draw range (about 3 times the biggest lotto number), you will find pairings that did not come out a single time; meanwhile, other pairings did come out at least 6 times. Do you have evidence against this aspect of FFG? If yes, you need make it public to support your argument.

Last but not least, my post presented a 49-line “wheel” yielding far better results than a 160-line “static wheel”. Do you have evidence to the contrary? If yes, you need make it public to support your argument.

I hope there is more to your “argument” than the over-overused cliché “the lottery balls do not have memory”. I think it was a dandy statement only when it was heard for the first time. Whoever the author was, the phrase was catchy. The statement sounds utterly idiotic now, because of overuse. I can smell an idiot as soon as he states: “the lottery balls do not have memory”. He knows nothing else. His brain can't take the torturing effort of reasoning.

Let's take a lotto 48/6 example. A lotto ball will come out with the probability p = 6/48, approximately. Is that so because the lotto ball has a mind? The lotto ball #23 came out first in the drawing. “Hurrah! I knew it all along! I had a 1 in 8 or 12.5% chance to jump out first. My sweetheart, #22 has a 5/47 chance to join me! I miss her! Ahhh! I hate it! That impotent lottery official again, with sticky fingers and libidinal eyes! I don't want him to touch my sweetheart!” Meanwhile, in the drawing chamber, she-#22 is reasoning: “Why does FFG persecute me? Why am I paired so often with that kid, #23? I am looking at the stylish #41. What sticks him to she-#48? She has such bad PMS reactions…”

The morale is: the lottery balls will always come out despite the fact that they “don't have memory”. They follow rules, nonetheless. The balls do not create the rules, because “they don't have minds”. Nor do the rules have minds of their own. But the rules reveal themselves to humans. They, the humans, are the only entities with minds. They, the humans, have also emotions. Emotions have the tendency to reveal themselves to the minds as rules. Chances are the minds will find the rules if going one step beyond the emotions.

When arguing, it's best to use numbers as much as possible. The words are more likely to be prone to overuse.

"For only Almighty Number is exactly the same, and at least the same, and at most the same, and randomly the same. May Its Almighty grant us in our testy day the righteous proportion of being at most unlikely the same and at least likely different. For our strength is in our inequities.
Only Randomness is Almighty. Randomness is great!"
