4D Lottery Draw: Buy it if you enjoy LOSING MONEY.

What Number would you pick for 4D?

Here are some possible numbers that some would use to buy a 4D ticket:

-Car Plate number (Own, Spouse's, Son's, Daughter's, Uncle's, Nephew's, Neighbour's, Freak Accident's)

-Birthday date (Own, Dad's, Mum's, President Obama's, Osama's)

-Numbers given by God of Fortune/Choi San

-Municipal ID on their Dog Tag

-Number on Dice Roll (This is seriously stupid, coz 7,8,9 and 0 will be excluded)

-First Four Digit on any Serial Number (Barcode of the new Red Underwear, ISDN on the new Porno Book, Batch No on the Chicken Dung for Fertilizing Plantation)

-Anything... really....... as long as they are numbers.....

Let's do some 4D maths here

It's very easy to play 4D lottery draws. All you need to do is to pick any 4 digit number.

The number [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] sequence from 0000 to 9999.

Using simple math, your chances of hitting any ONE random number is 0.01% (1/10000)

............


OK.. For those who don't know anything about 4D's winning prizes...

There are TOP 3 Prizes (First, Second and Third), 10 Special Prizes and 10 Consolation Prizes.

............

There are TWO ways of betting it. One is the 'BIG' category and another is the 'SMALL' category.


For 'BIG' category:
-You can hit all TOP 3 prizes, Special and Consolation Prizes. (23 numbers out of 10000)
0.23% of hitting a win

First Prize payout: 2500 multiplier
Second Prize payout: 1000 multiplier
Third Prize Payout: 500 multiplier
10 Special Prize Payout: 200 multiplier
10 Consolation Prize Payout: 60 multiplier






For 'SMALL' category:
-You must only hit TOP 3 prizes for payouts (3 numbers out of 10000)
0.03% of hitting a win

First Prize payout: 3500 multiplier
Second Prize payout: 2000 multiplier
Third Prize Payout: 1000 multiplier
10 Special Prize Payout: NONE
10 Consolation Prize Payout: NONE

Let's assume you bet RM1 and won second prize on 'BIG'. You get RM1000. If you happen to bet on 'SMALL' you get RM2000.

.......

Now you know the game.
Let's take an assumption that the whole country bets RM1 on any random number.
And let's just assume that the GAMING COMPANY have the 'PERFECT SPREAD OUTS' in betting.

And to simplify that in averaging all bets, there are total of 10000 bets ... each on 1 number from 0000 to 9999

With RM1 per number, the company total collection for one category is RM10000.

The total payout for Category 'BIG' is RM6600.
(RM2500+RM1000+RM500+10xRM200+10xRM60)
Gaming Company sweep in a Pre-Tax/CostExcluded Profit of RM3400. That is 34% odds against you.

The total payout for Category 'SMALL' is RM6500.
(RM3500+RM2000+RM1000)
Gaming Company sweep in a Pre-Tax/CostExcluded Profit of RM3500. That is 35% odds against you.


Now, with that kinda odds, why would you buy a 4D ticket????

Black Jack only has between 7 to 8% casino advantage. Might as well go up to Genting and give 7 to 8% of your life savings to Uncle Lim.

Another Gaming Corporation Profit Making Method

To make gaming more profitable, gaming companies calculate the odds of important numbers and limit the amount possible for you to buy. These PROTECTED NUMBERS can be:

-the date on the draw

-the date of important event that's happening on the day (Agong birthday, Sarah Palin's Nipple Slip's Bra Serial Barcode number exposed all over the Internet)

-number Plate of cars in a major accident in Federal Highway where everyone can see.

-the lucky numbers that they recommended in their own website.

Seriously, they cut the odds of betting on these serious numbers to their advantage so that they can earn more by having a more SPREAD OUT BETS.

Gambling..... Can you rely on it??

Gambling will always be gambling.

Gambling will never be a form investment.

But some 'risky' investments can be considered gambling.

So.... Remember... if you're planning to make money out of gambling. Make sure you prepare yourself to lose. And.. at best... choose the best odds... Never rely on low odds...

Make your number of choices MINIMAL. Like betting on EVEN/ODD or RED/BLACK on roulette table and you can be sure of it to be ALMOST 50/50 if you exclude the number 0 which is none of the aforementioned.

But if you're to choose 1 hit out of 100000000000 CHOICES.... it's like finding a needle in the (Haystack....neh...) middle of Pacific Ocean.

So, remember. If you plan to gamble, get ready to smile when you lose. If you're not happy losing, then don't gamble.

I remember buying 4D and lose. And I tap myself on the shoulder and said "You tried, but you still lose, don't worry, better luck next time" and I still put up a smile on my face.




HAPPY GAMBLING.










I totally support YB Lim Guan Eng's move to call for reduction the number of Lottery Draw.
Seriously, the gaming companies are making too much money. On top of that, the Federal Government is making too much 'HARAM' money from 4D revenue taxes.
