Sitting on lotto

It has been a while since I last thought about lotto. I go to KetKai in Cagayan de Oro City and see people lining up to bet on the lottery. Very clearly lotto is not going to be leaving this city anytime soon. I remember when Manny Quisumbing ran for mayor of Cagayan de Oro city on the platform that he would allow the lotto to operate in the city. He lost the election but he was probably the smartest among the three candidates.

That was over 20 years ago and now the city is dotted with lotto outlets, some of which are not doing so brisk a business as the one in the mall.

Still, there is a little idea that keeps nagging me and I have the feeling that this will forever remain an idea never to be tested in the hot, boiling waters of reality. I am beginning to think that this is probably for the best and life will go on until everybody chokes from the pollution and the antibiotics being fed the chickens.

Lotto pool dreams

This looks like I might have to shelve the lotto pool system for a while. There are a number of things that beg for attention and I have not really been doing much organizing of the things that I needed to do for a while now and it is time to get things in order. I have observed that other people really do extraordinary things with their sites and they go to great lengths to promote them. I wonder how they get links to the really high pr sites. There must be something that they are doing to get these.

Anyway, here's Cagayan de Oro City with another one: Cagayan de Oro City. My Cebu City site has made pr1, surprise, surprise. Dumaguete is still in the boondocks as far as Google goes but Dumaguete has made some headway. Check out: Jai Alexander.

Another greed

What a waste of time and effort and emotions. Lotto dreams. I thought it would make a difference in my life and be the better for it. After all, I could make the system. I could do it in my sleep. Still, nothing came of it and the many months that I spent doing this and that came to nothing at all. This is very good for my soul but not for my pocket.

Who knows if it would succeed?

Come to Ching''s World which is Cagayan de Oro City, Cebu City, Dumaguete, all of which are in the Philippines. Visit Ching''s World. Check out Jonathan Leger''s Search Engine Myths Exposed

Lotto Pools - Smart?

Is it a smart thing to join a lotto pool? At first glance, it would appear that you get more numbers with which to try and ensnare the big prize but the fact of the matter is that the number of combinations that are possible are just too many and the odds are stacked against the bettor. This does not mean that it is impossible to win, just difficult and highly unlikely. Still, giving your luck a boost by having more numbers would still be a better way than just stabbing in the dark.

People are always fascinated by numbers and the lottery is a numbers game. There is a teeny weeny tiny bit of a chance that a bettor will win and that is better than having a zero chance. There is a joke where a devout Christian went to pray in church asking that Jesus let him win the lottery. He would go to church every day with his prayer askinig Jesus to grant his wish. After some days Jesus was heard to say in an exasperated voice, "help me out here, willyou? Buy a ticket".

Come into these sites: Squeak Smalltalk Adventure, The Ordinary Life, Politics: Divine Right of Kings and Presidents, Creation, Life, Consciousness.

A little hope is bette than no hope at all and one can always rely on piety and divine intervention to help save the day. People don't mind waiting and they can make their request every day hoping that God will finally give in. So the lottery could not be all that bad if it brings a person to think of God even if only to get some material benefit.

Our favorites are: Ching's World, Green Tea, Dumaguete, Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro City, Papoy, Moira Trinity Cagayan de Oro, Dumaguete, Cebu are all in the Philippines in the world of Ching.

Lotto Pools

I remember my first brush with network marketing when Manny Quisumbing asked me to write the software to control a super secret business that would take Cagayan de Oro City and even the Philippines by storm. He was living in New Jersey then and he said he would come home to Cagayan de Oro to launch his business. I was to be a stockholder and incorporator in this fabulous corporation he was so secretive about. That never happened but he did incorporate a Lotto Pooling Corporation called Smart Marketing Concepts.

Combining Lottery chances with network marketing, it seemed like a winner but not for me: I was out of his organization in less than three months. He went on to sell his pools but was not fortunate enough to have hit the jackpot and I know of no one who has made any money at all on the network marketing part. Lotto was not allowed to operate in Cagayan de Oro at that time.

Ching's World thinks that Lotto Pooling is a sound idea where one's chances are multiplied by the number of numbers in the pool. The Lotto Pool might show up on the pages of Ching's World.

It Is Numbers That Dominates People's Lives

One can never get away from numbers. From the time when primitive people would count by means of sticks and perhaps bones, stones or perhaps small nuts, up to the time when large machines are used to compute large numbers like the google plex, man never ceases to think of ever larger numbers. It is not enough that there are billions of stars in a galaxy or that there are billions of galaxies in the universe man still needs to figure out more accurately the numbers.

Websites are also subject to numbers. More mundane than celestial numbers, large computers are used to keep track of the surfing habits of over six hundred million people who are online every day. Ching's World joins the fray and tries to bring in the numbers, not in celestial terms but more in primitive sticks and bones terms. The Philippines is its milieu, a small piece of Terra Firma; Cagayan de Oro and Dumaguete.

Number systems

There are many number systems in use at different times in human history. The system which suits CPU's is the binary system where only two digits are used: 0 and 1. Also popular are the Octal (base 8) and the hexadecimal (base 16) systems. Modern lotteries use computers to generate their winning numbers. This has become a favorite pastime of people and I must admit that I do indulge in this activity at one time or another. There are many systems being used by different people but very few have come up with a winning formula that assures them with a good chance of winning.

There are those who believe that lotteries are rigged but I doubt if there is any kind of proof of this that can be presented. I do know that most people believe in luck and that people do win the lottery. A popular technique is to pool resources together and if their pool wins the lottery then they share equally in the winnings.

There was one time when a very enterprising young man combined network marketing and the lottery. He sold subscriptions to pools of a hundred numbers each. If the pool won then each subscriber would share one (1) percent of the winnings. Using a 5 x 6 forced matrix he gave an added incentive of downline profits to induce members to recruit others. He sold twenty pools but unfortunately, luck was not with him and none of his pools won so people stopped joining. If he had won something I am sure his business would have survived longer than the one year that it operated.
