1.1. Mathematics of Lottery and Lotto Strategies

First captured by the WayBack Machine (web.archive.org) November 28, 1999.

Axiomatic one, this was the first software app to create winning lotto, lottery strategies, systems, based on mathematics. While here, you can study and/or download reduced lottery systems or lotto wheels, in addition to the best lottery software, mathematical and probability applications. This is the Incipient Lottery Strategy page that signed the birth certificate of lottery mathematics. That strategy is based on one lottery number at a time. The core of these lottery and lotto strategies was published in the year of grace 1997. Please read the very important Section III for the updates, including a treatise of the science of lottery programming.

Mathematics of lotto and lottery is founded on the Fundamental Formula of Gambling:

In the main table (FTG = Fundamental Table of Gambling), there is a column p=1/8 that describes exactly a lotto game drawing 6 winning numbers from a field of 48. 6 divided by 48 is 1/8 or 0.125. That's how you calculate the probability p, when considering one lotto number at a time.

Evidently, each lotto or lottery combination has an equal probability p as the rest, but the combinations appear with different frequencies. The FFG median and standard deviation are the key factors in the biased appearance. The lotto numbers tend to repeat more often when their running skip is less than or equal to the probability median. The probability median or FFG median can be calculated by the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG) for the degree of certainty DC = 50%. This revolutionary premise constitutes the backbone of the lottery strategy and lotto systems that follow.

• Playing lottery numbers with skips below the FFG median improves the odds to win lotto jackpots sevenfold.

You can download probability and statistical software that does all the calculations, plus a whole lot more: SuperFormula, option F = FFG. The super software boasts dozens of probability and statistics functions. The app allows you to calculate the number of trials N for any degree of certainty DC. This software application also calculates several types of lotto odds, lottery probabilities based on hypergeometric probability, standard deviation, normal probability rule... and much more.

I created a mini-table for three types of lotto games: 6/42, 6/48 and 6/54. If you don't bother to work with logarithms and your game is not listed in the table, you can approximate. For example, the popular 6/49 lotto game has the same values as those listed for the 6/48 game. A 6/45 lotto game will have numbers somewhere between 6/42 and 6/48. It is best to select the highest numbers: it increases the winning probability. Use Super Formula and do your own calculations for any lotto game you wish, any probability p, any degree of certainty DC.

1.2. Winning Strategy Applied to Lotto-6 Games

Turning again to the 6/48 lotto game. For DC = 50%, the table shows the number 6. It means that half (50%) of the winning lotto numbers in each draw are repeats from the past 6 drawings. That is, on the average, three of the six winning numbers have also been drawn in the last 6 lotto drawings. For DC = 75%: three-quarters of the winning lottery numbers in each drawing are repeats from the past 11 draws! That is, on the average, four or five of the six winning lotto numbers have also been drawn in the last 11 drawings. The degree of certainty DC = 90% should be obvious now. In 90% of the drawings, all 6 winning lotto numbers were also drawn in the past 17 lottery drawings.

I studied for a long time the 6/48 lotto game conducted for many years by Pennsylvania Lottery. The gambling formula and the numbers in the table were validated to a high degree. There were lottery drawings in which all six winning lotto numbers had been repeats from the past 11-12 lotto drawings, even from the past 6-7 draws! In the last 500 drawings of the late Wild Card lotto game (6 of 48), in 123 cases (25%) all 6 winning lotto numbers were repeats from the last 12 lottery drawings. In 25 cases (5 times a year), all 6 lotto winners were also drawn in the last 7 lottery draws.

More amazingly, in 7 cases, all 6 winning lotto numbers were repeats from the last 4-5 drawings! Such favorable cases were separated by about 50 lottery drawings. In other words, one could select lotto numbers from the last 5 drawings and, say, win, then wait 50 lottery drawings before selecting again numbers from the most recent 5 draws. The lotto wheels in my comprehensive MDIEditor Lotto lottery software program offer the 4 out of 6 minimum guarantee. They offer, however a good shot at higher prizes. It is also true that there were situations when only 2-3 lotto numbers were repeats from the last 6 or even 11 lottery drawings.

In order to apply this knowledge to your playing strategy, you need my lottery softwareMDIEditor Lotto Run the lottery software application. Make sure you have created a lottery-drawings data file and you keep it updated. Do the statistical reporting for the lotto-6 game. Go to the skip chart and only look at the first number listed in each skip string.

For example, for the lotto number 13 you will see a skip string like 4 11 9 21 ... The number of importance to you is 4 (the beginning of the string). It is also a good idea to work with DC = 75%, since it offers a better chance to predict 4 or 5 winning lotto numbers for the next draw. It also offers a better frequency of situations when all six winning lottery numbers are repeats from the last 11-12 draws. Write down all the lotto numbers for which the skip string starts with a value less than or equal to the value corresponding to DC = 75%.

You will come up with 15 - 25 lotto numbers, depending on your lotto game. You will not play all the possible lotto combinations since the price of playing them consistently would be prohibitive. Instead, you will use an abbreviated lottery system or lotto wheel. MDIEditor And Lotto comes with 20+ such lottery systems, some of the best lotto wheels anywhere. They emphasize higher payouts rather than lower costs. Say, you came up with 18 lottery numbers to play for the next drawing. Click on File, Open and select the file SYS-18.46. Follow the instructions on how to apply your actual picks to that particular lotto wheel. My lottery software-download site offers plenty of lotto wheels, including for Powerball, Mega Millions, and Euromillions lotteries.

• Please be advised that the lotto wheels do more harm than good. Read the mathematical presentation of this fact in my articles: 'The myth oflotto wheelsor reduced lotto systems' and Formula for Lottery Wheeling. The shortcomings of the abbreviated lotto systems or wheels are diminished by the set of lottery strategies presented on this Web page, however.

If you came up with too many lotto numbers for your budget, you can reduce them further. Read the Lottery Tutorial in MDIEditor And Lotto WElotto software. You might want to avoid the worst lottery number pairings in your picks. The filters in my lottery-lotto software provide countless possibilities. They are called lottery strategies. A lotto or lottery strategy is a collection of filter settings applied to LotWon / SuperPower / MDIEditor Lotto lottery software collections and applications. I haven't been able to count ALL possible strategies in my lottery software!

1.3. Winning Lotto Strategies with the Most Powerful Lottery Software

• Version WE of MDIEditor Lotto handles just about any lotto and lottery games: pick-3, pick-4, lotto-5, lotto-6, lotto-7, Powerball plus Mega Millions, Keno, and Euromillions games. The super lottery software application does thorough statistical analyses, and then it generates optimized combinations based on user's lottery strategies.

1.4. Winning Strategies Applied to Lotto-5 and Lotto 7 Games

This lottery system collection can be applied to other game formats as well: lotto-5 or

How To Play Keno Lottery

lotto-7. The only thing, others warned you about, is the availability of specific abbreviated lotto systems or lotto wheels.

• In addition to the lotto 6 wheels that accompany my lottery software, I also offer free lotto-5 and lotto-7 wheels. The wheels are as close as possible to mathematically balanced systems. They offer a high probability of winning prizes better than the third tier (3 of 5, or 5 of 7, or 4 of 6). They can be downloaded from the main lottery software-downloads site. The lotto-6, lotto-5, and lotto-7 wheels are archived in three self-extracting EXE files: SYSTEM6, WHEEL5, and WHEEL7, respectively.

1.5. Winning Strategies Applied to Pick 3, Pick-4 Lotteries

Here is the strategy applied to the pick-3 and pick-4 lottery games. The formula says that 50% of the 3 digits (1 or 2 digits) of the pick-3 lottery game will come out within 1 draw, that is, they are repeats from the preceding digit lotto draw. Or, 75% of the 3 lottery digits (2 or 3 digits) of the pick-3 game are repeats from the last 3 drawings. The following is real data from Pennsylvania Lottery again. I analyzed the last 500 draws (as of March 7, 1999). In 15 cases, all 3 lottery digits were repeats from the last drawing. For example, the real-life pick-3 lotto drawing was 3,2,2 and the next 3-digit drawing was 2,2,3. In 72 cases, all 3 digits were repeats from the last 2 draws. In 133 cases, all 3 lotto digits were repeats from the last 3 drawings.

• The formula says that 50% of the 4 lottery digits (2 digits) of the pick-4 lottery game will come out within 2 draws. Or, 75% of the 4 digits (3 digits) of the pick-4 game are repeats from the last 3 lottery drawings. The following is real data from Pennsylvania lottery again. I analyzed the last 500 drawings (as of March 7, 1999). In 10 cases, all 4 pick-4 digits were repeats from the last lottery drawing. For example, the real-life drawing was 3,1,8,1 and the next drawing was 3,8,3,8. In 70 cases, all 4 pick lotto digits were repeats from the last 2 draws. In 147 cases, all 4 digits were repeats from the last 3 lottery draws.

2. Lotto, Lottery Strategies and Ion Saliu Paradox of N Drawings

A very subtle situation occurs when dealing with the number of lottery tickets to play. Let's take as an example the pick-3 lottery. The probability to win with one single pick 3 combination is 1/1000. Do we have the same chance of winning if:
1 – play one ticket for 1000 lottery draws; or
2 – play 1000 tickets in one lottery drawing.

“The same difference”, most lottery players would respond. Well, it isn't the same chance. If we play 1 ticket for the next 1000 lotto draws, the chance to win (degree of certainty) is only 63.2%. It is calculated exactly by a relation named Ion Saliu Paradox or Problem of N Trials. On the other hand, if we play all 1000 pick-3 lottery numbers in one drawing, we are guaranteed to hit the winning number. Of course, we still lose money because of the house edge.

3. Updates To Lotto, Lottery Strategies: More Powerful Lotto, Lottery Software

Evolution is a continuous process. This page started with a modest goal: Devise a lottery software strategy aimed at winning the 4 out of 6 prize in lotto games that draw 6 winning numbers. The year was 1997. I offered also the best lotto wheels at the time, plus the best lottery software of that time - all free. But how far we have reached since 1997! My lotto / lottery software known as LotWon / SuperPower / MDIEditor and Lotto / Bright / Ultimate Lottery Software has reached significant highs. The software is still free to use forever — but downloading requires a most reasonable one-time fee.

At this point in time, 2008, please be encouraged to look at integrated lotto and lottery software packages named Bright / Ultimate (e.g. Bright6 applicable to lotto software for 6-number games). The keyword here is scary: As in 'It is impressive how powerful that lotto software is,' as expressed by real people, users of my software creations.

The key concept is filtering. That is, the lottery software employs filters as a method of reducing the amount of the lotto combinations to play. The skips presented on this page are filters themselves. They are just a few of the filters that can be enabled in MDIEditor And Lotto integrated lottery software. They are named Any* in MDIEditor Lotto; e.g. Any1, Any2, etc. They represent the skips of each number in a drawing. The skips are sorted in ascending order. The first Any represents the lowest skip in the drawing; the second Any represents the second lowest skip; the last Any (e.g. Any6 in a lotto-6 drawing) represents the biggest skip. Here is a real-life illustration.

I transferred the filters in MDIEditor And Lotto to 6 additional layers in my Command Prompt lottery software and lotto software. I am referring here to the first layer, which is almost identical to the filters in the statistical reports of MDIEditor Lotto. The report is for the 5-number lotto game.

The Any filters for the most recent draw (line #1 in report) are: 0, 1, 14, 19. (In my Command Prompt lottery software and lotto software I only work with the lowest two and the highest two Any and Ver filters. I run special software for all the skips and pairings. The software uses each skip as an individual filter. A string of the ANY skips in pick-3 such as 2, 3, 4 leads to 1 or 2 combinations to play when it hits; some non-hitting situations give zero combinations. The skips are applied as filters individually; i.e. Min_Skip_1 = 2, MAX_Skip_1 = 3, Min_Skip_2 = 3, MAX_Skip_2 = 4, Min_Skip_3 = 4, MAX_Skip_3 = 5.

The lottery strategy presented in 1997 only considered one filter: Any5 for the lotto-5 game; only Any6 for the lotto-6 game; only Any7 for the lotto-7 game; only Any3 for the pick-3 game; only Any4 for the pick-4 game. Just one filter — still my lottery software offers a big bundle of filters in later years!

The 1997 method was also tedious. The player would select manually the lotto numbers that skipped a number of drawings bellow the median (for DC = 50%) or below values for DC = 75%). The result would be a pool of lotto numbers, say, 15-20. The user then would wheel the pool of numbers by using one of the lotto wheels that accompany MDIEditor Lotto. It was the best lotto strategy of its time. But it was a tedious and very limited method!

The lottery strategy can be applied automatically by running MDIEditor and Lotto. The user will enable just one filter. For example, in the lotto-5 game the player enables only the maximum value of Any5: Max_Any5 = 13. The software then generates 5 of 5 lotto combinations, instead of lotto-5 wheels. The lottery player can still wheel the output file by Strip lotto wheeling it with the latest version of Super Utilities, component of the latest Bright / Ultimate lottery software packages. The strip-wheel function is far superior to any other lotto wheeling method.

Again, it's only one lottery software filter, and only its maximum value. I'll show a few examples for the pick-3 lottery. It's a simple matter of time of combination generating. I run my pick-3 lottery software for Any3 below the median: 4 in this case; thus Max_Any3_1 = 5. Total pick lottery combinations generated: 343. It means that 7 unique numbers repeated below the median. Sometimes only 6 numbers repeat (216 pick3 combinations). Other times 8 numbers repeat (512 pick 3 combinations).

If only 5 lottery numbers repeat (125 pick 3 combinations) it's a good indicator that the lottery strategy will NOT hit. Save 125 combinations in one shot! Following the old strategy, I would wheel the combinations. The pick-3 wheeling is available only in Bright3 / Ultimate Pick-3 (option: Boxed Combinations; it runs a program named WheelIn3). Better still, Ultimate Pick - the absolute best integrated pick 3 (also pick4) lottery software package in history (so far)!

Now it is very clear that the originating lottery strategy of this page was very limited! It only put to work Max_Any3 in the pick-3 lottery. LotWon and MDIEditor Lotto can put to work many more lotto and lottery filters! Not only that, but the strategy-checking utilities offer great visual assistance as of when to best expect a lotto or lottery strategy to win.

The 2008 lottery mathematics page names this incipient lottery strategy Step One: One lottery number at a time.

The next step in lottery mathematics is A lottery pair has a count of two and is more powerful, too. The lottery numbers can be grouped in pairs. By eliminating the least pairings (2-number groups with very low frequency), the lotto software can eliminate millions of combinations. This feature is far more powerful than the strategy presented at step one. The first inception of the step-two lotto strategy was named the lottery wonder-grid. It created the top 5 pairings for each lotto number (e.g. a 49-line grid in the lotto 6/49 game).

The first skip-based lotto strategy presented on this popular Web page is only a tiny part of the grand scheme of strategies created and employed by my lottery software:

• The Best Ever Lottery Strategy, Lotto Strategies.

4. Ion Saliu's Lottery, Lotto, Gambling Theory, Software Compared to Other Lottery, Lotto Methods

Yes, people who use my lottery software, lotto software complain that it is complex. I realize that myself. But I always take complexity with efficiency and good performance. Many computer users take simplicity regardless of the results. Nevertheless, there is nothing else out there that comes remotely close to my lottery, lotto software, strategies, systems. It includes the logical organization as well. Nothing is more logically organized than my lottery and gambling software and the derived systems. Complaining about the DOS (say it Character Mode or Command Prompt!) interface? Well, DOS is the best interface for a user's eyes! I love how my character mode lotto software treats my eyes! The graphical interfaces (GUI), on the other hand, put a serious strain on users' eyes!

Most importantly, however, is the performance! My Command Prompt (say it Character Mode — for it is all about character!) lottery software runs rings around all Windows — lotto software or not! There are 8 to 13 times more layers in my DOS (command prompt) lottery software. The data files are much larger. For example, the pick-4 game uses at least 600,000 drawings (real and simulated). Yet, the performance is far superior to MDIEditor and Lotto WE, visually pleasant lotto software!

The foundation of a theory and subsequent software is the most important element. Everything I put in my lottery software must be validated mathematically to the best of my knowledge. If I discover something invalidated by mathematics, I change it as soon as I can. Nothing can escape mathematics, I can tell you that much.

In all honesty, I don't see anything out there that offers better ways to winning at gambling or lottery. IF my methodology doesn't win the lottery and gambling — there is absolutely nothing to accomplish such daunting tasks. Never will be, if my research has been futile. In the end, it's all about streaks and skips, no matter what the phenomenon is. The skips (misses) are shorter and the streaks are longer if the probability is higher; and vice versa.

The rest of the lottery software is nothing more than wheeling the lotto numbers and/or frequency reporting. As per above, lottery wheeling is a waste of time and money. Data analysis demonstrates that the static lotto wheels diminish the chance to win the highest lottery prizes. By the time a lotto wheel gives you its promised lower-tier prize, you would have spent around 4-5 times that amount of money. You still want lotto number-wheeling? It's best for you to follow my wheeling methodology and lotto software. Follow the multitude of links listed here…

The lottery frequency reports are extremely limited in usefulness. Most lotto software applications out there are based on so-called hot/cold numbers! It's a static strategy. It's playing mechanically a mixture of lotto numbers with high frequency and numbers with low frequency. It has NO mathematical foundation! My lotto software gives you the best and most meaningful frequency reports. I also offer you the idea of playing the lotto numbers position by position based on the highest frequencies (The Ranges / Positional Limits options). Still, it's not enough. The player needs to take into consideration the skips, including position by position. Filtering is everything in playing the lottery, therefore in lottery software strategizing!

I introduced the concept of lotto or lottery filters in the early 1990's. Years after that, most other lotto software developers introduced the word “filters” in their software. They haven't a clue what lottery filtering is about! They consider as filters: odd/even numbers, low/high numbers. Those are NOT lotto filters, and that's NOT lottery filtering. It's simply a way of grouping lotto numbers. There is a fixed group of even lotto numbers.

The number of lottery combinations in the group stays always the same. It's a very large number of lotto combinations. Grouping the lotto numbers by odd/even and/or low/high leads to an impractical number of lotto combinations to play. You can find various formulas I coined at this web site. Read: Software, formulas to calculate lotto odds using hypergeometric distribution probability. Not to mention that the large fixed groups of odd/even, etc. lotto numbers are very STREAKY! A player (or groups of lottery players) could easily spend 100 million to win one million!

Still new and potent: You can download two lottery and gambling programs I created. Streaks calculates the probability of streaks of any length (like winning/losing five times in a row). SkipSystem comprehensive lottery software to generate lotto systems based on skips - a vast improvement over the first lottery strategy presented on this page.

How to Play Keno

Before you stand a chance of actually winning real money, you’ll need to understand how to play keno. Before you start learning keno secrets and advanced strategies, you’ve got to get a grip on the basics. Even if you’ve never played before, you’ll pick it up in no time at all. It’s probably the easiest casino game you could play – all you have to do is pick your lucky numbers and hope for the best. You could play keno blindfolded and it wouldn’t make a difference.

How Does Keno Work?

This section won’t answers the questions how do you win at keno every time? Instead, it will teach you how to play. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the best way to play keno. It’s suitable for first-time keno players and those who need a refresher.

(1) The first thing all keno players need to do is buy a game card. You can do this at any of our approved online casinos.

(2) You’ll then need to pick your lucky numbers. How many you pick, and how many you need to win will depend on the variant you play – there are different types of keno. You will not have to win every number to get a cash prize. Most keno games offer 80 numbers, and most games will ask you to pick between one and 10 numbers. Some keno variants allow you to pick up to 20 numbers.

(3) Decide how much money you want to bet on each number. You can often decide to play the same number for multiple games, too. Most online casinos which offer keno will calculate how much you’re betting for you and ask you to confirm.

(4) Wait for the draw to take place. The numbers will be drawn by a computer program. Your wins will be calculated for you automatically. As we said before, you won’t have to land all of your numbers to win. Check out the keno paytable below for an example of how payouts work. It will depend on how many picks you made, how many winning numbers you landed, how many numbers are drawn, and the keno variant you are playing. Keep in mind that every game of keno is slightly different.

Remember that this is a game of chance. It’s not a wise idea to try and make a living playing keno. Keno players have zero control over the game outcomes once the draw starts, just like when playing the national lottery. However, that doesn’t mean you can do a few things to improve the keno odds.

Even if you’re a total beginner, you probably know how to play real money keno already just from reading this easy guide above. It’s a lotto game, so all you really have to do is pick numbers and hope for the best. Many keno players don’t even understand the rules the first time they play, and you don’t necessarily have to. Sometimes, the best way to learn is by doing.

Keno Strategy & Secret Patterns

We Googled the term “keno secret pattern” to see what would come up, and we were amazed by the junk we found. It seems like every swindler and his dog has found the perfect system to win keno every time, and they just can’t wait to share it with you for a small fee. The only people who will be making money from such systems are those who write and sell them or the online casino you try to use them at. If you spend your days trying these systems, you might be a degenerate gambler.

Let’s have a look at some of the most popular keno winning systems. We’ll break them down and show you if they really work or not.

Keno Hot Numbers

We mentioned this one briefly above, but we’ll expand on it here. This system involves looking for winning numbers which seem to appear more often than others. These numbers are considered ‘hot,’ and you use them to make your keno predictions. In the naive gambler’s mind, lady luck is actively intervening is a cold-hearted computer algorithm to give them a sign. More mature gamblers may simply believe that there’s something about the program that is causing that number to come up more often.

We’re sorry to break it to you, but neither is true. There are no keno patterns. If you understand how casino games work, you will know that random number generators determine game outcomes. These RNGs spit out billions of number per second, and the numbers are all associated with game outcomes.

The numbers which have come out in previous draws have absolutely zero influence on the numbers which come out next. Thinking they do is called the gambler’s fallacy, and you’ll waste a lot of time trying to pick them.

On the flip side, there’s nothing wrong with picking these numbers, either. Since they have the same probability of coming out on the next draw like any other number, you might as well pick them if you like. Just don’t expect hot numbers to give you any specific advantage. Give up on the keno pattern reading – you’ll end up like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind and won’t be any better off for it.

Picking Consecutive Numbers in Keno

This is another number picking strategy which is grade-A nonsense. The idea is that you pick sequential numbers such as 13,14,15,16,17,18,19, and 20 rather than random ones all over the joint.

We’re going to repeat this until we’re blue in the face and it sinks in – the best keno strategy is to understand that there are no secret patterns, no combos of numbers any more likely than others and that any potential combination of numbers is just as likely as any other. Just because the numbers come in a sequence does not mean the random number generator is any more likely to spit them out.

This dismissal goes for every other kind of keno number pattern, too. Some prefer to skip one number, picking 2,4,6,8,10, etc, while others prefer to use the Fibonacci sequence as if they’ve unlocked some sort of secret key to the universe and have discovered a sure-fire winning strategy.

Logic is always your friend when it comes to casino games. And so is math. You can pick your numbers blindfolded, or can ask the casino to randomly generate them for you, and you will have just as good a shot at winning as you do by using any of these superstitious ways.

Is There A Strategy To Winning Keno

Like we said before – there’s no harm in using them, and they don’t decrease your odds of winning keno. You can use them if you find it comforting or fun, but don’t expect them to help you win every time. Professional gamblers don’t play games like keno because they know they’re all about luck.

The Keno Double Up Strategy

While you’ve probably gathered that we don’t think much of keno patterns that win (so the system authors claim), there are some practical strategies which you can use to potentially win back losses and come out ahead.

Remember, there are no guarantees, and every strategy has its flaws. We’ll explain the pros and cons of this one here.

This strategy involves doubling your previous losing bet. So, for example, you start by betting $1 on the first card, and if you lose, you bet $2, then $4, and so on.

This can actually work when making even-money bets such as red or black in roulette. However, it’s really not ideal for this game. First, you have a much smaller chance of hitting your number than you do of landing the correct colour in roulette. Second, the payouts and odds are different. You could get a 3x payout for picking one number on a 10-number card or an x1 payout for getting one out of two on a 10-number card, but this strategy depends on winning almost as many times as you lose to cover your previous losing bet and then come out slightly ahead.

We’d give this one a miss. It involves taking bigger and bigger risks on every bet, which can get out of control quickly. You can also hit betting limits, which will stop you from doubling up again. Once again, the best keno betting strategy is to manage your bankroll effectively and maximize the number of cards you buy. This double up strategy can work short-term, but it’s not going to work long-term.

Reduced Keno Betting Systems

We might not be able to deduce no-fail winning keno patterns, but we advocate for the idea of spreading the risk out across multiple cards and hoping for the best. So, we like this keno winning formula, even though it is not guaranteed by any means.

The idea behind this system is to play a game of multi-card keno and play different combinations of your chosen numbers across them. Let’s pretend you bet with six numbers – 1,2,15,23,56, and 78. This is your target number, and let’s say for the sake of this example you are going to play them across three cards. Use any keno tricks you like to pick your numbers – it really doesn’t matter.

You might play them like this:

1. 2,15,23, and 56.
2. 15,23,56, and 78.
3. 1,15,23, and 78.
4. 1,2,15, and 56.

If you play $1 per game, the total cost will be $3. The hope is to win some combination of these numbers – preferably two or more, which will give you a large payout. While the payouts always depend on the casino and the keno variant you’re playing, you could win something like a 7x payout for landing two numbers. Thus, you’d win more than you lose.

This does not fundamentally alter the odds, but it does spread out the risk and maximizes your chances of winning, so we’ll say that if you’re going to use any of the keno betting systems listed on this page, this one might be worth a look. The best keno number combinations to play are up to you.

Winning Keno Patterns – What Should You Play?

There’s much speculation about winning keno patterns and numbers. We put some of them to the test in this video. Check it out.

How Do You Win at Keno Every Time?

If you want to understand how to consistently win at keno games, there are a few fundamental principles you need to get a grip on first. If you read here regularly, you’ll know we don’t sell BS systems and lies – we prefer using the scientific method and backing our claims up with data. What we’ve learned about real money keno is this:

(1) Any system or e-book telling you it’ll help you win this game every time or that it will reveal winning keno patterns is lying. You can’t win every time, so get your expectations set straight. This is a game of chance, and the casino has a large house edge of between 20% and 50%, so you’ll lose more often than you win. The hope is that you have a big win which is worth more than all the small losses. There is no sure way to win keno, and don’t believe anyone who says there is.

(2) Keno odds really aren’t great. Understand that different keno game variants have different house edges, and pick the one which gives you the biggest advantage. The house edge is the mathematical percentage the casino has as an advantage. The keno house edge can be between 20% and 35% – that’s a massive difference. Picking the games which have the smallest house edge is the best way to win keno.

(3) While we can’t tell you how to win every time, we can tell you how to win, or at least make it more likely, on any given gaming session. The trick is to split your bankroll across as many cards as possible. Divide it evenly, buy as many cards as you can with the money you’ve got, and therefore you will have maximized your chances of winning. This is not a keno sure win formula, but it’s the best way to maximize your chances.

(4) To win keno consistently, you have to have the discipline to walk away after a big win. The house edge on this game is a monster. The casino is banking on you giving back what you win by pushing your luck too far. There’s a natural tendency to get carried away after a big win because you’re in a good mood. Don’t fall for this trap – the math of the game is against you, and you’re likely to lose if you keep playing keno online.

(5) There’s a joke among experienced players. It goes, “How do you win at keno every time? Don’t play!” Of course, it’s just a joke, but it does hint that the odds aren’t great in this game. Just remember that when playing. It’s all about a big lucky win and getting out. We want to emphasize that point.

(6) A simple way to win keno more often is to bet on the bonus ball, if the game you’re playing offers one. If it doesn’t, you should try to find one which does. The bonus ball will pay out big if you land it. Some players choose to bet on the bonus ball every time. It might be called the ‘Bullseye’ or the ‘Booster Ball’ or something like that. It will cost you more to bet on it, but it’s worth it if it pays.

(7) Some keno games have progressive jackpots, which means there’s a constantly growing pot contributed to by every player. The jackpot can be paid randomly or when you hit a certain combination of numbers. Landing the progressive jackpot is one way to win keno online, but it’s A) unlikely and B) progressive games will have a bigger house edge – where do you think the contributions to the progressive jackpot are coming from?

(8) Some players like to use a keno system to increase their odds. Sorry to break it to you, but these simply don’t work. They’re based on gamblers superstitions and myths. For example, people look for ‘hot numbers’ or ‘cold numbers’ and bet on those. Unfortunately, every number has an equal chance of being drawn each time. If you think you’ve seen a number come up more times than others recently, there’s no guarantee at all that it will come up again. Winning in keno will require you to dispell these myths – they’re inaccurate and will lead you to make bad decisions if you believe them.

4 Card Keno Strategy

Hopefully, after reading the above, you’ll understand that there’s no magical answer to how to discover winning keno patterns. It comes down to understanding how the game works, getting lucky when picking your keno numbers, and having the discipline to walk when you’re ahead. Playing keno online is a lot of fun, and you can have some huge wins, but you can also drive yourself up the wall trying to spot patterns, use systems, and ultimately beat keno.

Q. Is there any realistic way to spot winning keno patterns?

No – please stop thinking about winning keno patterns. It’s a myth, and the people telling you they exist actually want you to lose money. Mostly, you’ll find these sorts of articles perpetuating myths like this are funded by casinos and written by employees pretending to be players.

Q. Are there any keno tips & cheats that work?

There are no cheats, but we can give you one tip – focus on making your bankroll last as long as possible. The more cards you play, the better your chances. Forget about cheats, though. Casinos spend millions on security and the software companies which create the games have entire teams dedicated to testing their systems and making sure there are no glitches. Some even use AI to try to spot casino cheats. Just have fun when you play keno online and hope that it’s your lucky day.

Q. What’s the most common pattern in keno?

We’re going to maintain that there are no patterns, but if you insist – some players believe that 1,2,23,34, and 72 are the drawn numbers most often. We don’t buy it, but if you’re looking for someone to give you winning keno numbers, these are as good as any.

Q. Should I use a Keno bonus?

That’s one thing we absolutely do recommend doing when you play keno online. A no deposit bonus would be best, but we’ll take any welcome bonus which require a deposit where we can find them. Make sure the terms and conditions allow you to use the bonus money for keno and be sure that the wagering requirements are not too high. As long as these two boxes are ticked, you should definitely play with a welcome bonus – as far as Keno tips and advice go, it’s the best one. Shop around and find the best bonus possible.
