In a Daily Mirror article, (one of the UKs leading Daily National Newspapers) I talked about wheeling and in another chapter I compared two people and how they played. In this article, I am going to talk about which numbers you should mark on your cards to ensure the best prize.

It does not matter how you select your numbers, they could come out of the washing machine, your pet could knock balls about, draw them out of a hat or your could pick them by statistics.

AT THE END OF THE DAY – IT’S HOW YOU PLAY THEM

You must put yourself in a position to win. You must plan how you play.  For years we have had Football Pools here and worldwide and most of us have played by perming the numbers.  Newspapers have produced ‘plans’ (perms) for the readers.  To get the power of planning your numbers we use a ‘wheel’. Wheeling is exactly the same as a football pools plan or perm.

WHAT WHEELING DOES

You gain two advantages by wheeling.

1. Wheeling makes your numbers work together.

2. It shows in advance how many combinations you will need.

If you were to pick 10 numbers and wanted to make sure that every possible combination of 6 numbers would be covered then that would cost you 210 games. That is a full wheel. Now, you could go for a second or third prize, using a more economical ‘wheel’. You do not need as many combinations to match 5 or 4 correct numbers.  Firstly, determine how much you or your syndicate are going to spend.  Then find a wheel with the best guarantee.

You can choose 10 numbers and play 7 games.

The system is that if you 5 correct numbers in your 10 selected, then at least one line of 4 correct will fall together. You may get another line of 4 correct or even 5 numbers or even the Jackpot if the numbers fall right.

This is the power of ‘wheeling’.  Let’s take this further. In Lottery Digest you will find a system that covers 18 numbers for 42 games.  Now to cover every possible combination of 6 within the 18 numbers would cost 18,564 games.

Now you can bet 18 numbers for 42 games with a 4 out of 6 guarantee and don’t forget, each time the jackpot could just drop into those slots of yours. Now 4 numbers correct usually pays more than the 42 games to play so you would be in profit. How nice to see some winnings!

It is a lot easier to match 6 numbers from 18 that it is to match 6 out of six numbers. It stands to reason that the more numbers you can use, the more chance you have of hitting the correct numbers.  To stand the best chance, our advice is to join a syndicate or even to form your own.  The whole idea is to reduce the odds.  Let’s take an example.

If you play 1 game for 6 numbers out of 49 numbers the odds of you winning is nearly 14 million to 1.

Now if you used the Lucky 30 or Square Deal numbers (found in my books) you will find that there are only 30 numbers per set.

So if you choose from these, your odds are brought down to just under 600,000 to 1.  Now, that is only for 1 set of 6 numbers which would cost you 1 game. If you are in a syndicate, other players are putting their money in also. This way you can choose more numbers to play between you. Say you choose 15 numbers from the 30 and the 6 winning numbers are in those 15 numbers.  You have reduced the odds against you to 6,000 to 1. That means you are nearly 2,800 times more likely to win. Now that is really reducing the odds against you.

A man in Australia played 16 selections in a wheel, which would have cost him 22 games. Yes, you’ve guessed it; he won the $4,251,000 Jackpot.  That shows it does pay to use wheeling systems.

That is the Power of Wheeling
