Should have shot him in the head!

by Arthur Webster Just plain honesty

How many internet marketer wannabes are still using the Lottery Black Book as a product that is "fit" to sell?

 

I am sick and tired of reading subject lines about the professor who got shot in the foot because he kept winning the lottery and would not give up his secret. This stupid advert has been around, it seems, for ever and is a very simple example of how IMers take something in the public domain and spin it to rob gullible idiots of their money and what little common sense they have left.

 

The lottery "winning" system is no more than selecting numbers that have been coming out in the draws more often than the others. These numbers (indeed the incidence of all the lottery numbers) are freely available on lottery web sites and you simply have to make your selections.

 

After several years there is really very little to choose between the numbers so the LBB sugests that you start recording the numbers of each draw yourself. In this way there is a possibility that in the first few weeks or months, some numbers will be predominant. This will get you excited and prevent refunds (not that you would get one anyway!)

 

I believe the LBB has a little twist that makes it seem like a "magic" formula but it absolutely beggars belief that the thousands (Yes - it has sold thousands of copies!) of LBB users are not shocked that all of them are not winning regularly and that the value of lottery prizes has been enormously reduced as a result.

 

Stupid is as stupid does. They should have "shot" the professor in the head and found a way to convince the gullible that they were getting the ONLY version of the LBB.

Arthur there will always be those who believe in 'magic beans'. These same folks are probably still waiting for the beanstalk to heaven to sprout in their yard.

Numbers are random no matter how they are picked. How do you set a system for random numbers. The only way to win every time is on odds that are 1000 to 1 you will have to spend $1000.00 on 1000 different sets of numbers and then break even... Lol. Luck is the only answer!!!

Hi, Don, if you bet on every combination possible you will not break even. Not all of the lottery entrance fees is paid out in prizes and it is as sure as eggs are eggs that at least one other person will have chosen the winning combination, cutting your return by half!

That's funny I never took into consideration that someone else could win Lol. and I thought I had my own personal lottery here... Either way I remember that Lottery Black Book and after that all the copiers came out with a whole bunch of more garbage. I could never put faith in gaining an edge on luck. It just doesn't make sense how so many fell for that and I wonder how many more are still doing it. I like the no bull attitude you have. Awesome!
