The Scratching Experiment













No, I am not talking about scratching my balls. The Scratching Experiment involves buying a single $1 scratch lottery ticket each day for a month. The experiment started today with an investment of $1. The scratch ticket of choice was Beginner's Luck which was exactly what I needed.

Day 1: Winnings = $4

Should I buy another Beginner's Luck ticket tomorow or try a new one? The options are large.

Z-

I like where you are going with this.
Here are a few suggestions:
1) Definitely get some spreadsheets/graphs involved
2) Roll over all your cash holdings from previous days and use it all for the next day's purchases (i.e. you won $4 on day one; on day two purchase $4 worth of tickets
3) Make some predictions
4) Stay positive

1. spreadsheet/graphs are for working folk
2. cant do that, it will ruin my one constant ($1 day) so you can figure out after 10 days i made x amount or lost x amount
3. predictions are scratchers are like predictions for the ressurection
4. cause its one thing to start it with a positive jam, and its another thing to see it all through
