In theory.....

[POB666]

Just say it was a euro millions roll over or something, with a jackpot for around £100 million as theyve been know to be (albeit rare occasions) and you found some way of covering all 14million possibillities ( or however many they are) you'd be guarenteed a winner, you might say well what if other people won it you'd have to split it, and it would be disasterous if quite a few people won it. BUT not if you found a bookie who would give you odds on winning the lottery on a specific day day, the odds are say 14million-1 so even if u got quoted a 2million-1 price you would be laughing. As you'd only have to place a £200 pound stake to make an absolute killing. Now i dont have the cash to do this, but some people do.............

This has been done before I am sure back in 1997 or something when there was a 60 million Jackpot some group bought all lines and were the only 'winners'.

As for euro millions I think there are about 90 million combinations but not got a ticket here nor have I played for a while so I cant be exact.

So do u reckon u can get odds from the bookies on winning the lotto on a specific date? Not that im gunna do it, im just interested

If it was me taking the bet id be very lairy of anyone wanting to put more than onr or two quid on that proposition. If you wanted to put a substantial ammount on it smells like a set up......

[Scott]

yeah but it raises interesting question..

You could cover every combo on the lottery and make several beta of £2 at say 1million-1 that YOU will win the lotto...

even if you had to split the jackpot you would still end up with guaranteed profit from the bookies..

I am sure there is protection against this else some greedy fuckers would have done it by now..

Shame it catch-22 .. where do I get the initial 14 million quid? any investors about?

I'm Game... lets sort the paperwork...

[POB666]

Does any one fancy chipping in?

[Scott]

I got about a fiver in the bank so thats a start....

only £13,999,995 left to raise!

[DannyC]

And were all members of probably 'the' most elite gambling forum online, with that in mind, why dont we all chip in, surely if 80 of us hit the fruitties, 122 of us hit the casino... we could raise it in a month?

[POB666]

Well thats 3 of us up for it, ive got at least two pound sixty, add that to scotts fiver and you can clearly see we are very nearly there, i can already smell the caribbean
