| You can only take a horse to the well, but can't make him drink water.
The same rule applies to Keno too. If there was even a single tried and tested
formula that guaranteed success, it won't be called a game of chance. It
all depends on, what numbers you choose and how lucky you are on that particular
day. You can use some of the old and useful strategies and try your luck.
The only real tip we can offer you on how to win at Keno is tell you a real life
story. Though there have been many who have tried their hands based on the story,
all they got in return was failure. But, as they say, every person has a luck
of his own, try your luck but be cautious.
The story has been often misinterpreted as the story of a math wiz who used chaos
theory to determine consistent patterns below the surface of a pseudo random
number generator.
In essence, this may be true except that he did not do a single calculation,
and probably couldn't define what chaos theory is with anything more than the
Jurassic Park explanation. But his realization of a pattern within a set of no
pattern is absolutely true.
First of all lets understand what is the difference between pseudo random numbers
and random numbers. When a computer program is asked to generate a random number,
they go to a sequence of code designed especially for that purpose, which coincidentally
is referred to as a random number generator. The fact is that the random number
can only be as good as its seed value, which produces the random string of numbers.
The seed number can also be understood as the random starting block.
The actual problem is, how do we make the seed number random. Though we can't,
the scientists can at least attempt to do it. Now you know why most random number
generators are actually pseudo-random generators and, if you know both the seed
and the number generator algorithm, then you can perfectly predict the coming
numbers (hence the pseudo, because it sure ain't random if its predictable).
So in the case of this fellow who 'beat' keno, we now have some idea how he must
have gone about it. Basically he either needed to know the algorithm and the
seed, or have someone feeding him information in a way that is difficult to explain.
This is the way he was able to bet the keno, though the truth is that the casino
beat itself. |
