Still waiting for the good news? Well, let’s see if we can brighten things up a little. How do we increase our chances of winning? The obvious answer is to play systems entries. I know, you don't need to be told to play systems entries in order to increase your chances of winning, of course you don’t but I still have to mention it. Systems entries obviously increase your chances of winning because you are playing more numbers and covering more combinations. They range from a system 7 up to system 18 or more. Obviously the bigger the system the more you increase your chances of winning. The catch is of course that it costs a great deal more to play. As you can see from the table below, if you played a system 18 (based on NSW Lotto) it would cost you $10710.00 to play – way out of most peoples reach.
System | Equivalent | Cost |
Games | to play | |
7 | 7 | $ 4.40 |
8 | 28 | $ 16.60 |
9 | 84 | $ 48.60 |
10 | 210 | $ 121.50 |
11 | 462 | $ 267.00 |
12 | 924 | $ 534.00 |
13 | 1716 | $ 990.00 |
14 | 3003 | $ 1732.50 |
15 | 5005 | $ 2887.50 |
16 | 8008 | $ 4624.00 |
17 | 12376 | $ 7146.00 |
18 | 18564 | $ 10710.0 |

This table can of course be expanded to include all systems right up to 45 and beyond. The method for working out the number of combinations in each system is known as “the binominal co-efficient of 6 out of S, where S represents the system being played” Therefore working out the number of combinations for a system 21, the calculation would look like this:
21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 x 16 |
6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
Or 39,070,080 divided by 720 which equals 54,264 combinations. A system, 22 would be 22 x 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 x 17 divided by 720 = 74,613 combinations and so on for each system.
So how do we go about playing systems entries while still keep the playing cost within our reach? I’m glad you asked. The answer of course is that we play abbreviated systems.
