Hello!

I read this forum since long time, but I never wrote before. Now I come up with an idea, and it's the occasion to create the account.

Some weeks ago I discovered a lottery game based on bitmessage service, called Bitcoin Galore. I find it interesting because the cost for playing one entry is very small ( 0.00001 bitcoins ) and the prizes are not bad. I am playing regularly and a few times I won the 3 and 4 points prizes.

I did some reasoning about how to optimize the choice of the played combinations to optimize the chances to win a prize. The game consists in guessing 6 numbers from 1 to 90. It allows to specify less than 6 numbers (it calculates all the possible combinations that contain the specified numbers), more than 6 numbers (it calculates all the combinations that can be made with the numbers provided), a list of 6 number combinations, nothing at all (it chooses random combinations) or a mix of all these.

I think that playing all the combinations starting from a set of defined numbers enhance the chances to win, but it may be done better, for example by playing a set made of combinations that have at least N > 1 different numbers from each other, example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 would mean 28 combinations:

1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 5 7
1 2 3 4 5 8
1 2 3 4 6 7
1 2 3 4 6 8
1 2 3 4 7 8
1 2 3 5 6 7
1 2 3 5 6 8
1 2 3 5 7 8
1 2 3 6 7 8
1 2 4 5 6 7
1 2 4 5 6 8
1 2 4 5 7 8
1 2 4 6 7 8
1 2 5 6 7 8
1 3 4 5 6 7
1 3 4 5 6 8
1 3 4 5 7 8
1 3 4 6 7 8
1 3 5 6 7 8
1 4 5 6 7 8
2 3 4 5 6 7
2 3 4 5 6 8
2 3 4 5 7 8
2 3 4 6 7 8
2 3 5 6 7 8
2 4 5 6 7 8
3 4 5 6 7 8

if N = 2 ( we want at least 2 different numbers ) the result would be only 4 combinations:

1 2 3 4 5 6
1 2 3 4 7 8
1 2 5 6 7 8
3 4 5 6 7 8

This means that if in the 8 numbers, there are all the 6 winning numbers, we would win at least the 5 points price and if we're lucky the 6 points price. Since the number of played combinations is smaller, playing those 8 numbers cost less or otherway, it's possible to add more numbers, increasing the chance that the 6 numbers are included. In other words, it's possible to "distribute" the played combinations in a way that optimizes the chances of winning any prize.

I have also other observations/optimizations in mind that I might explain later if I see enough interest.

At first I was thinking to make a group to play one whole bigger system instead of individual ones, but this would require trust in me (I may run away with the prizes), and looking at all the scams that are around, I think it is not a good idea and nobody would join. So I thought to make myself available to optimize the combination sets for you. You can tell me the set of numbers you want to play, how much to reduce the combinations ( N = 2, N = 3 ), or how many combinations you want to play, and I can elaborate the system so you will have the highest chances of winning, at the cost of 1% of the game. For example: you want to play a 1000 combinations system (0.1 bitcoins), I would ask 0.001 bitcoins fee to deliver it to you, and you can play it directly on Bitcoin Galore as many times as you want.

For who doesn't know what Bitcoin Galore is follow these few steps:

Download bitmessage from http://bitmessage.org/
Add the Bitcoin Galore address to the address-book: BM-2cXdbRBsBWXmdTqsN2s3jd28cpEunJX6Ek
Add a new subscription to the address: BM-2cXdbRBsBWXmdTqsN2s3jd28cpEunJX6Ek
Send a message to BM-2cXdbRBsBWXmdTqsN2s3jd28cpEunJX6Ek writing the word HELP in the field "subject" of the new message.

I am also interested in receiving your considerations.
Thanks.
