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.

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.
