From Peter Taylor
Feedback dismisses too quickly the charts of frequent and infrequent lottery numbers (11 December 2004). In a lottery I want not only to win, but to share the win with as few other people as possible. So if some people’s use of the charts leads them to pick the most frequent or infrequent numbers, I maximise my expected return by picking numbers which are not in these two sets.
However, now that I have let readers know my strategy, I will have to decide on a new approach. My lips (and my wallet) are sealed.
