How to Win More: Strategies for Increasing a Lottery Win [Paperback]

Norbert Henze (Author), Hans Riedwyl (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 1568810784 | ISBN-13: 978-1568810782 | Publication Date: May 1998 | Edition: 1

This book is designed to provide valuable insight into how to improve the return on your investment when playing the lottery. While it does not promise that you will win more often, it does show you how to improve the odds of winning larger amounts when your numbers do come up. So, when you do win that million-dollar jackpot, you will be less likely to have to share it with anyone else.

Among the intriguing topics covered are the most popular (and the most foolish) combinations of numbers, why it is impossible to improve the odds of any legitimate lottery, how popular (and thus unprofitable) an attractive-looking ticket might be, why not to follow the suggested numbers from so-called "expert advisors" and why it is important to avoid winning combinations of past drawings. With this book and a little luck, the dream of winning millions might just come true.

Review

If you decide to read this book, I think that you will enjoy it; and my only request is that you remember me when you put its principles into practice. I would appreciate a little commission.

i thought this book did a good job of telling the reader ways to increase their chances of winning state lottery jackpots.the chapter on number combinations to avoid was very helpful. also the discussion on the best numbers to play in order to win the jackpot by yourself was intresting.

If you want to stay away from lingering lottery myths
and learn the truth and nothing but the truth on how to play lottery, this book is most valuable source of information. Based on the analysis of many millions of played combinations in many countries, it singles out the foolish styles of play that the typical lottery player follows. I found it especially interesting to see that playing foolishly means having to share the jackpot with thousands of other winners. Compared to most other books on the lottery, this book is completely honest. It is the definite lottery book for smart lotto players!

This review is from: How to Win More: Strategies for Increasing a Lottery Win (Paperback)

There are probably only two really useful and accurate books on how to play the lottery. The first is Ziemba, W. T. (1986) ,Dr.Z's 6/49 Lotto Guidebook, and the second is this nice little volume.

The authors focus is on winning the greatest possible amount if your numbers are selected. The book is based on the important idea that, while there is no way to increase your chances of winning, there are plays which will increase or decrease the expected payoff, in the unlikely event that you do win.

If you pick numbers the same way other people do, then you will have to share your winnings--something that could be very disappointing indeed. That is why, with the exception of this book and Dr. Z's book, the most popular lottery books will hurt you the most.
