Okay, for all you single guys that answer to no one this doesn't seem to me that it would be an issue other than actually finding the funds for your endeavours. I am talking more about how you obtain money for hobbying. I am fortunate that being in the trades I am frequently getting extra money from o/t , some scrap from certain jobs, and also the moonlighting in peoples homes, wiring basements. hot- tubs , garages etc. So how do you do it ? I am curious and maybe we could share some tips. Without us , these lovely ladies would not enjoy the lifestyle they do. For them , we need to secure an income stream .

Long live the TERB ,
 
Work 2 jobs and use one for hobbying. LOL

good odds you say?

1/189 odds of hitting your 4 numbers to get a payout of 100-1 for your $2.
1/781 odds of hitting your 5 numbers to get a payout of 250-1 for your $2.

1/189 is not bad odds, one week I had 4/4 , 6x......
keep in mind if you have a good sample you can hit
4/4 more than once, same draw. At $2 wager payout for 4 numbers
is $200.00, $500 for 5 numbers. You can place higher wager of course.

btw in February this year, I had 7/7 4 times in the same lottery 6/6 once = $21,000 just for that month.
7/7 ($5000) again in July 08, 6/6 ($1000) Nov 08.

Fred, do you use the frequent numbers table that they have up on the site? Care to share your secret with me? PM as you wish. Thanks.
Best approach I find is to guess pairs of numbers
that will come then find some method to mix the pairs.. Typically 70%+ of the numbers in any draw will come from the previous 3 draws. In the gaming forum I posted
a wheel that you can use.

www.ilottery.ca
has better stats than OLG.

Wow, you one lucky dude. You must gross $125,000 a year. Almost as lucky as a first class police constable. I heard that a first class constable makes $74,000 base salary a year plus another $30,000 in overtime plus another $30,000 for paid duty (like watching a baseball game at Rogers Centre). Also, they can retire on full pension at age 47 and work a second job while drawing full pension.

I hear running a Wall Street ponzi-style investment scam can net you all sorts of hobbying money over the years.

Yep and 20 years in the slammer, where you get all the action you can handle.

He'll serve in Club Fed and be out long before 5 years are up. Plus it's not like he'll be stripped of his assets either. I'm sure he's got money stashed away on some island, in any of his family's name, his legit businesses, etc.... It pays to go big when doing a white collar crime. Plus the odds are better than Fred's in Keno that a white collar criminal that's pretty smart won't ever get caught.

Did he not commit suicide recently ?http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Wo...n_De_La_Villehuchet_Kills_Himself_Over_Losses
But I agree, white collar criminals seem to be getting off easily.
All it takes is good legal representation.

No, the guy who committed suicide was one of the scam victims, not the perpetrator.
And his wife/widow is now completely broke

Seriously though, who the hell puts all their eggs in one basket??
IMO they all deserve to get ripped off, you never put that much trust in someone
 
I just tell my wife I need a few bucks to get laid. ;)

Actually, this fellow, Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, lost his clients money by advising his clients to invest in Madoff, he couldn't face his clients since he felt so responsible for not doing a good job prior to recommending Madoff's investment that he committed suicide. I hope this bastard Madoff gets his due for all the pain and suffering he's caused for so many people.
 
Don't recognize her???? Hint, initials CE.

I'll be meeting her soon through a friend, man she's hot.
 
How am I going to finance personally? I have around 250 bucks left over at the end of each month (after rent and bills and usual entertainment moneys) so that should be enough for an hour with an SP if I wish. Or, I'll spend that money on a gourmet meal out....it depends.

I get what you mean and yes Madoff is not a good guy who deserves his due, but isn't this statement just a tad melodramatic?
