Now, I'm not a genius but how the hell does this work? Are people really that stupid to believe that studying the ball numbers will help them?!
Silly question really, they obviosuly are!
Don't these people realise that there is a far far FAR higher chance of a previous combination of winning numbers coming out again than there is of them winning. I swear people think that once a combination has appeared once, the chance of winning with that combo decreases!
The stuff that people sell on there too, just taking advantage of other people's stupidity. Pyramid schemes are all over the place when you look for computers and stuff and of course, everyone falls for them as per usual...
Oh, one last though, I bet Camelot are selling those CDs in that auction above. ~That~ would make sense!

Grrrrr.
'Numbers that have come out more than they statistically should' that should be!
No number 'usually' comes out.
Apart from Monkey_with_Attitude.
But he's not really a number.
10, 12, 14, 16, 34, 42
10, 11, 14, 16, 34, 42
10, 12, 14, 17, 34, 42
and so on. You may then end up spening £10 a week and win a tenner one week in 4. Thus £40 spent and £10 returned!
I find that the Irish lottery is esaier to win on. There are 42 balls and it's more or less the same numbers every week.
Put £10 on number 4 coming out on Wednesday and you'll have £50 return.
Numbers that usually come out:
4, 7, 13, 19, 21, 29, 31, 42

But, you've got the same chance if you do different numbers.

Same reason as my Dad. Plus if you do the same ones then if you miss a draw, you absolutely sh*t yourself hoping you haven't won!

Chances of winning £10 are 1 in 360+. Can't remember exactly but it's once a year.
I only buy the odd ins**tant every other week or so, I've won a fair bit compared to my Dad and I don't have to do it every week for fear of winning.
> well dur, otherwise camelot would be running in immense losses.
True. One day people might actually realise how poor the chances of winning are.
Some people play it every wed and sat for the whole year. Thats £104 without all the special games at new year. I bet most of them dont even win that much back.
