Yes and yes, simple math using personal formulas had help me win lottery in the past, Atimes it doesn't work. as unbelievable as it may sound I hate math back in school but I never failed it.
Gambling is bad and I have stopped it
I think luck is the main reason why you won in lottery, math is not really vital in games which is called as luck based games like lottery because it is drawn based on a random numbers. I think it would be more useful in sports betting because when you are good in math you can analyze the information very well.
True, math is not a decisive factor in our victory in gambling. If only someone could win gambling any time with the exact same mathematical formula, then I would change my mind regarding math in gambling.
