some call it a syndicate. others call it a pool. group play. is their
anything inherently wrong with it?
most people here agree that the best way (some say the only way) to
improve
your chances of a win is to play more tickets. fine. but how do you get
around the thorny problem of personal affordability and risk?
the simplest tried and true solution is to join with others in order to
pool
your resources. the obvious glaring tradeoff is that any major win must be
shared. most people realize that going in. it comes down to a personal
decision. do you want a 100% share of nothing or a smaller % of a
substantial win?
it's no secret that a lot of individuals have shared a lot of substantial
winnings in lotto games around the world. a few disgruntled perpetual
losers
laugh at the people who have done so. "haha--look at the stupid bimbos who
only won 1 million each instead of the whole jackpot--what fools". this is
the crowd that believes in throwing out the baby with the bath water. so
who's laughing on their way to the bank?
i personally see nothing at all wrong with playing in a small group of
family members,friends or co-workers. people that you personally
know,trust
and see almost every day. even so, the terms of the pool should be clearly
spelled out in writing and agreed upon before even 1 penny is invested.
....That's obviously an unselfish and Canadian idea...quite foreign to
American thought processes...
