Beat the Lotto Review
The claims some people make on their sales pages make me want to weep. The vendor of the “Beat the Lotto” system, claims if you purchase his $39 lotto system, you can skyrocket your chances of winning any lottery in the world.
The sales letter then goes on to explain instead of picking 6 numbers for a 6/49 or a 6/42 lottery you can choose 14 numbers, and while if 6 of your 14 numbers come up you are not guaranteed a 6 number jackpot, you will get multiple wins of 3, 4 and maybe if you are lucky a 5 number win, and of course- while very unlikely the six number win is still possible.
Well, that is all very well and good- it is known as ‘wheeling’ in lottery circles- for example a 10 number wheel for a 6/49 lottery will look like this:
Pick 6 Lottery: 10 numbers
(Guaranteed 4/5 win, if 5 numbers come up, you will have at least one winning line of 4 numbers)
My 10 wheel numbers picks are: 01 06 12 15 21 22 28 35 40 49
My wheel contains 7 lines, so if my lottery costs one euro per line, I will have to play 7 euros per lottery draw.
My seven lines are the following-
001. 01 06 12 15 21 22
002. 01 22 28 35 40 49
003. 06 15 21 35 40 49
004. 12 21 22 28 40 49
005. 01 12 15 28 35 49
006. 01 06 12 21 28 40
007. 06 12 15 22 28 35
Now let us assume I am very lucky that week, and 4 of my numbers are among the 6 winning numbers. The four numbers are 6, 12, 28 and 49. Therefore I would have 4 winning lines of three numbers- lines 4,5,6 and 7 are all winners.
HOWEVER- and it’s a biggie- the chances of netting 4 winning numbers out of your 10, are still extremely low. Admittedly you have more chance than when only playing 6 numbers, but you are not guaranteed a high payout- if the 4 numbers had been 1,12,15 and 40, I would have only won 3 lines of 3 numbers. And if only 3 of my numbers were pulled (the odds are still very much against me that that will even occur) I may not even win anything- for example if 6, 22 and 40 are drawn I will not win anything. I will have 6 lines of 2 numbers and 1 line with no winning numbers.
Serious lottery players know that while wheeling can be helpful occasionally it is not a winning system- personally some years ago I played a similar wheel, but with 15 lines to the one I have printed above twice a week for around 18 months, and only once did I ever get a half decent win- I had a few lines of four, and some 3s. For the rest of the time I had no more luck than if I had just played one line of random numbers twice a week.
That is why I find it absolutely incredible that the ‘inventor’ of the Beat the Lotto wheel, (a 14 number wheel for a 6 pick lottery) had a run of fantastic wins- winning 1000s in just three weeks, playing twice a week and winning in every single draw!!! Fantastic! Yes too bloody fantastic, it is out and out lies. He has not stated the draws he won in or showed his tickets I notice.
Forget this one- good wheeling software can be bought very cheaply all over the web- in fact here is a nice selection,
Wheeling software will produce you as many wheels of whatever quantity of lines and numbers you wish to use- to pay $39 for one wheel (with a few bonus ones chucked in) is VERY VERY expensive.
I give this 2 out of 10, one for the wheel, after all, it is a wheel, albeit not likely to produce you any profits, and one point for a nice header graphic on the website.
