A lottery wheeling system means you choose a base 'subset' of numbers, for example in a 6 number lottery, you might choose the numbers 1 to 7, and then combine them in ways ensuring that all 7 numbers 'get a go' in the 6 number lines. By playing combinations of a set of numbers, you are doing something similar to the 'permutations' in football pools, says Noah Faulkner at www.bet4less.com
Let's look at a typical choose 6 numbers from 49 lottery game. Say your 'base' subset of favorite numbers are 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. However, you want to play the 7 as well. How can you best 'spread out' your lines in order to maximize the possibility of winning should any of your base numbers come up? By 'wheeling' them. Here's an example.
01 02 03 04 05 06
01 02 03 04 05 07
01 02 03 04 06 07
01 02 03 05 06 07
01 02 04 05 06 07
01 03 04 05 06 07
02 03 04 05 06 07
Notice how the columns change as you move downwards. As you can see, there are 7 entries (at 7 dollars or 7 pounds cost). While these seven lines have the same chance of winning the jackpot as any other seven lines, it does increase your winnings should any of your numbers come up, because it increases the probability of winning multiple prizes.
Don't believe me? Lets's imagine the winning numbers are
01 02 03 04 48 49
Looks like a 4 ball win!. Actually, it's better than that! You have actually won...
01 02 03 04 05 06 - 4 balls
01 02 03 04 05 07 - 4 balls
01 02 03 04 06 07 - 4 balls
01 02 03 05 06 07 - 3 balls
01 02 04 05 06 07 - 3 balls
01 03 04 05 06 07 - 3 balls
02 03 04 05 06 07 - 3 balls
I.E 3 four ball wins AND 4 three ball wins. Pretty impressive, huh? So what's the downside? Wheeling a small selection of numbers means you 'cover less of the bases'. In the above example, we only covered 7 numbers out of 49, at a cost of 7 bucks. We could actually have entered 7 lines covering ALL 49 numbers at the same cost. So perhaps you now understand that you are less likely to win, but win more if your numbers DO come up!
How do you generate these numbers? Simple. Choose the base set of numbers you want, then 'wheel' them by first creating the first line, then on each subsequent line, modify the next leftward column as in the example above. If you want to wheel the numbers 1 to 7, first create the line
01 02 03 04 05 06
The next line would be
01 02 03 04 05 07
as this enables you to bring your seventh number into play. And the next line?
01 02 03 04 06 07
as this enables you to combine the 6 with the 7 and so on until every column has been modified. Want to do this automatically online for free? Head on over to http://www.bet4less.com now!
