Does anyone like Keno games?

[Yukio]

Want to learn how to play those games?
It could be easier than most persons 'believe' ...

There are considerable amount of systems to play games (some of the commercial software with demos/shareware or little versions of the programs). I personally like the FREE or "Shareware" software.

Ok, now get 16-32 numbers that you would like.
For example:
02+03+05+06+09+12+13+15+16+18+20+21+22+23+25+26+29 +32+33+36+37+38+39+40+41+42+43+45+46+47+49+56

The afore mentioned software could read the that line when saved int a plain text (ASCII DOS format), and turn the numbers into combination to play on the tickets.

There is a system that assumes that if a person could hit at least 2 numbers there would be the same two numbers on the ticket (this is called a 2if2 system).
Making 10-spot keno tickets should be easier, 32 'numbers' would turn into 49 tickets (2if2 system). This is a system to reduce the total amount of tickets, because of it is a "reduced system" (contrary to a Full System that has every combination and cover all the possibilities).

Now, the results of the simulated ticket for a game (real life numbers).
In this particular case, Ohio Ten-Oh Evening drawing.
[More tests later for other states and countries.]

Draw nº168:
2,4,6,9,12,20,21,
30,35,36,52,55,58,59,
64,66,69,73,75,80

The Ohio Lottery's Ten-OH game
Odds:
Ten-OH Game Odds and Payouts

Statistically, a person could wait for:
5 hits, 1:19
0 hits, 1:22

Now, the number for the simulation (first run):
1 ticket with 5 hits (slight below average).
10 ticket with 0 hits (good, above average).
Total 11 winner tickets.
Total (simulated) prizes $32.00
Total (simulated) cost $49.00
Net loss of $17.00 (considered good, above the %50 return rate).
Hit ratio of %22.44
Prize ratio of %65,30

I need to check for those values, but their are only rough approximations (and this is just for fun).
Anything slight significant above the base values is considered good and could be a indication of "lucky" (Grace) or psychic ...

Or those types of games could be easier in real life, than most people previous believed!

Yesterday.
Ohio Ten-OH! Midday.
Nothing as expected.
Ohio Ten-Oh Evening.
Bad, nothing again.
Maybe there was the need to manually adjust the values.
Ok, I know it was a 'lazy home work' ...

Washington Keno.
Optimized (specific for Washington) combinations (16 numbers) for 8 tickets.
Seven hits out of eight combination!
Optimum as expected ...

Investing $80.00 (80 tickets) would return $230.00, 230-80 = 150.
Profit of %187,50.

Now, if there was only 48 tickets: $138
138-48=90

I will never understand why people will try to find a formula for a random event?
