Authorhouse Learn How To Increase Your Chances of Winning The Lottery
B**N
I knew what I was getting...
Thanks to the other reviews I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting when I ordered. I am thankful for that. This guy can't guarantee winning... but based on his strategies he has to win to support his habit. Seriously, the one reference I read about someone ending up at gamblers anonymous didn't do justice to what they were intending to say. This guy must spend a ton of money on tickets, and the majority of us playing these games probably don't have the kind of funds he's suggesting. He always does make sure to say not to spend beyond your means... but to give you an idea you'd easily spend $100 a week to follow his suggestions. Also, the tip on the second chance drawing. Be sure to check the end date of the second chance. I spent more money on scratch then I ever had before thinking that I had this great second chance... only to find out after I'd already sent them in that the drawing had already occurred. Yippee.A month later I am out much more money then I have taken in. But quite honestly I am glad to have the tips since I play anyway. They are sensible suggestions.If you're looking for a miracle answer to tell you how to win big you are going to be very disappointed. If you are looking for some over priced common sense suggestions then this is a good book for you. Kudos to the guy for making some money on it because he hasn't won the really big one yet...The bottom line is that these games are a game of chance and no advice is going to change that.

"Price is what you pay. Value is what you get."
Who wouldn't give Warren Buffet $40 to learn from him in 15 minutes? Is his time worth more than $40? Absolutely. Would people complain? No. How about paying an Accountant $400 to do your income taxes vs. $150 for TurboTax? I can tell you a great accountant can save you the $250 difference (and more) in your taxes because of knowing the system inside and out, having done it many more times than you, and continually learning the latest strategies to avoid taxes. Either way gets the job done, but the Expert can usually save you time and money over the long run. If your Accountant doesn't do this for you, it doesn't mean TurboTax is just as good - it means you need to find a better Accountant! How about people that complain about paying $50 retail for business cards when it costs maybe $15 wholesale, or $40 for an oil change when the parts cost $10?The problem is that people are too focused on what they're giving and not what they're receiving. Sure, you can research stuff over the internet and find what you're looking for (in most cases) for free. But how much of your time did you waste? Sure, you can do your own taxes for free or pay less using TurboTax. Again, how much of your time did you waste doing it? How much less did you save doing it yourself than an Expert who knows of additional savings? Sure you can get business cards (with advertising on the back) for almost nothing. But what did it cost you in terms of time or the image you portrayed to a prospect? How would you know the potential lost revenue because the prospect thought you were too cheap to buy real cards and, if you're cheap with yourself, you'll probably be cheap with them too? Are you willing to setup shop, get the necessary equipment or accounts to print the cards (or change oil), licenses and tax ID to do conduct business properly, etc. just for an occasional order here and there? Most people would say no.When you buy this book, you're not spending $40 to get a book - you're spending $40 to ask a millionaire to share his strategies, developed for almost 20 years time, and proven to win 7 times (not to mention the others who have also won based on his advice). You're also getting that millionaire to spend his time (on the phone and via email) to answer ALL your questions personally (not a staff member pretending to be him).Let's say, hypothetically, you make $100,000/year salary - that means you get paid about $48 an hour. Let's say you spend an hour a day over 1 week to research winning lottery strategies - that's $240 of your time spent. Even if you only make $33,000 a year, that's still $80 of your time. Now, you need to "practice" these strategies to make sure they work - that costs time and money too. Isn't it easier (and ethical) to pay someone $40 to learn from their research, time spent over 20 years to make sure it works, plus their hard earned money? Plus have access to them (and their time) going forward to answer your questions and help guide you in your success?If you don't see the "value" in supporting professionals for their time, money, and risk - then don't buy this book. You won't value what Richard has to offer, nor would you value his time because you don't value your time.Don't get me wrong - I don't like throwing my money away just as much as the next person. But I've researched Richard. I've talked to him. I see the potential value his information has - potential because, unless you apply it, it won't do anything for you.I'm not getting anything for writing this review. Yes, you can do your own research. Yes, you can find his strategies for "free" but in all honesty, that's stealing. Yes, you can choose to believe the mindset from where the negative reviews are written. If you choose to take any of these routes, then maybe you shouldn't buy this book and maybe you shouldn't be "gambling" at all.However, if you choose to buy this book, realize you're not really buying a book - you're buying knowledge that has proven value behind it, as well as the author's time in follow up support. Then, take that knowledge, apply it, and don't give up. So many people give up just short of achieving their goals and never realize how close they were to the finish line.You can choose to be a winner or a whiner - either way, you're right.

Terrible
It doesn't give you any information or strategy. I knew it already whatever has been said in this book.

Only a few pages with a few paragraphs in each pages. Exactly designed as a kindergartener book.
To all customers out there. Once you looked at the price of the book, purchased it, and received it in the mail, you'll be surprised how a book looks as like a kindergartener book when you're paying over $34. Might as well use the money to purchase some real kindergartener books (with a "S" for plural). Read the book and return it. RETURN IT. That's it.Since the author talks about probabilities, the probability of fooling customers to buy his expensive book and earning profits: # of books sold X (lets say 50% from the price of the book. Guessing $17) = $$$$$$. So let say 136 customer reviews X $17 = $2,312 and up. Bravo for coning people to buy your expensive book! Could you make it at least cheaper since it looks cheap with the fancy printing???????????The book is okay. The problem is that it's too expensive from what its actually is! Since I read it, I'll give you one of the info. for FREEEEEEEEE!!!For Super Lotto and Mega Million fans:1. Pick the numbers you'll keep forever and make sure they're not the big draws in history.2. Repeat each time before each draws and NEVER CHANGE THE NUMBERS. "I REPEAT, NEVER CHANGE THE NUMBERS." As the author suggested.3. Never miss a draw. NEVER MISS A DRAW.4. The end.Why probability?I remember learning this in grade school:Using the same set of numbers, for each draws, the more chance you may win because you're crossing out the numbers that was drawn.Result:My brother got 3 numbers in the Mega in 6/1/12 which I think he got $100. I haven't, but the following week, I got 2 numbers in Super Lotto (no money yet) by using the same numbers as my brother's.There you go and it cost you $0 for this info. For me, it cost me $ for my time, gas, and paid the return postage.
