Why Lotto Wheeling Systems Work
Why Lotto Wheeling Systems Work
Mandy Sheridan
You may occassionally come across websites or individuals who claim that lottery 'wheeling' doesn't work (wheeling is multiple entries using combinations of a set of numbers). The usual justification for this is that they say you are entering the same number multiple times in order to create your wheel, and thus spending money needlessly. They are correct in one sense - after all, you could cover all the 49 numbers in the UK national lottery (the 'Lotto') in only 9 tickets (6 different numbers per ticket). On the other hand, any wheel must 'combine' the numbers you want in order to create possible wins on any one ticket, so, for example, you might cover only 10 or 12 numbers with the same number of tickets in order to create a guaranteed '3' win.
But... and it's a big but, in the first situation, you have only 9 chances to win the jackpot (i.e. 6 from 6 correct) and only a slim chance of any other prize too. A '3' win, for example, the lowest win possible in the UK Lotto is actually quite remote, clocking in at about 55 to 1 against. In other words, if you enter your 9 tickets every week, you might expect 3 numbers once every 5 weeks or so - hardly a great return on your $50 investment!
And this is why wheels are so good - they allow you to cover large 'ranges' of numbers without buying all the tickets you would normally need to get the same sort of cover. The older less popular wheel would usually require you to buy a lot of tickets, but would guaranteee a certain outcome if you managed to 'catch' a certain number of draws in your picks. Good modern wheels provide you with 'statistical guarantees' - e.g. a certain wheel might require you to buy 10 tickets to cover 15 picks, with the promise that if all 6 numbers drawn are within your 15 picks, there is a 45% chance of getting 4 of them in one line, and an 80% chance of getting 3 balls in one line. Obviously, this is far more economical than buying enough tickets the 'hard way' to cover 15 numbers completely. What would you prefer for a prize of only $90 or $100 - an 80% chance of a win at a cost of $10 or a 100% chance of the same win at a cost of $1,000 ? Bit of a no-brainer really, isn't it? Remember that the sites or people who decry wheeling lotto systems usually are trying to sell you their own 'magic' lotto 'secrets' - perhaps using 'lucky irish clover' or 'the power of clairvoyance'. If their systems were any good, why don't they just keep very quiet and win the lotto themselves, week after week?
If you want to play around with wheels for free, WinthatLotto.com has a number of free online wheeling systems that allow you to cover up to 20 numbers using only 10 tickets, with guarantees that will payout up to 4 ball wins. And the odds of a 4 ball win using normal techniques are over 1,031 to 1 against! As you can see, a good modern lotto wheeling system will allow you to 'stay in the game' by catching regular small wins that help to offset or even cover completely your costs. And if it doesn't cost anything, why not play?! Picking at random brings you no guarantee above and beyond the certainty that the lottery executives salaries will get paid!

English Premier League Games Advance Bookings
English Premier League Games Advance Bookings
Dale James Caffrey
We get a lot of customers booking and purchasing English Premier League Match Packages well in advance.
However, saying that, recently many people have enquired "If the current season already finished on May 15th and the new season doesn't start until August 14th and the match I want to go to might not be until next March, why do I have to book so early?"
Fair question! and the answer to that is really quite simple.
The average stadium capacity of English Premier League clubs is around 40,000 (some more, some less) and the majority of tickets are sold to season ticket holders, usually around 75%.
"No problem, that leaves approx 10,000 tickets per game so I can buy nearer the match date" I hear you say
"Not necessarily true", is my reply.
Let's not talk about the current top 3 clubs, let's use Manchester City as a prime example: The City of Manchester Stadium holds 48,000, the Season ticket allocation is 36,000, the away fans allocation is approx 2,000 (maybe more for some games). Add to that all the sponsors' allocations and you are already well over 40,000. See related official release on this topic dated 17th March.
But wait, what about the official fan club members who cannot get a season ticket, or just simply cannot afford that amount of upfront cash? - but they still want to go to every home game!
They get priority purchase options on the remaining tickets ... and believe me, there are a lot of them.
Suddenly, you have sold out games months in advance.
This is the reason why we always direct customers to 3 Lions Sport who offer, you the fans, the opportunity to book match packages for the 2004/2005 season so that you don't miss out on the action!
