Ok, so let me get this straight. You all are looking for an advantage to shave a few hundreds off powerball odds? Whatever happened to good old card counting at the casino? At least there you reduce your odds to single or double digits. (Not that I’d know of course, I’d never hooked up with a crew, honest…)
Anyways, if you’re looking for a steady income, do what all us oldtimers (27, but lots of experience) do. Play 3 digit numbers. Yes, you don’t win as much, but you can play several times a week, your odds are better, and if you win a couple times a month, you might earn enough money to break even with welfare…
Wanna make real money? Start a poker game with people you don’t like anyways. Then learn a few false shuffles, and a couple easy slight of hand tricks (most people couldn’t pick a SOH if they were taught it). Keep the limit low, but entice your guests to play all night. Add in a second player (one that only plays once in a while, and rotate them), make a deal to split winnings, and deal that second all the winning hands you want. They look like they cheated, at worst, and you (not winning), can still make a buck. 'Course you have to trust them, but they want to be invited back, right?
Of course, I’ve never done this…
