Subj : talking to myself To : Russell Tiedt From : Maurice Kinal Date : Sun Mar 13 2005 12:21 pm Hey Russell! Aren't you lucky! You get the first message in this area from the latest hack of txt2pkt.pl! Don't you feel special? Please forgive the quote below as I am still working on the editor part and am currently just cutting `n pasting to vim for now. One step at a time. MK> The odds are too far against any set of numbers or combination of MK> numbers, and any decrease of the odds - playing a combination - would MK> cost. Expectation based on sound statistical evidence would be to MK> lose money. RT> About what I thought too, tho I know some people who spend a major RT> portion of their monthly earnings playing the LOTTO. :-((( The same situation over here, along with video gambling machines which probably is a far greater gambling problem, although the odds are probably better then the lottery. Lots of probablies with no sure things. - Maurice --- txt2pkt.pl v0.00 Hacking * Origin: Coffin Point - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/401.1) .
