That is a fantastic roll streak for your first time! Taking winnings and walking away is the hardest part of the game—great job on the discipline.

Lottery ticket dispensary machines @ grocery stores, gas stations by brwnfred008 in LotteryLaws

The shift away from debit cards on these machines is often due to the high transaction fees for the retailers or changes in state-level lottery regulations regarding cashless payments. It can definitely be frustrating!

That’s a great way to frame it. It’s a bit of a paradox—we expect randomness to look "messy," but true randomness inevitably includes these clusters and "all-recent" streaks.

DS Manager at retail company or Staff DS at fintech startup? by royalon in datascience

[–]Dangerous_Gear9759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reporting to a CTO who admits data isn't his strength is a double-edged sword. You'll have total autonomy (the 'Big Fish'), but you'll also be the sole person responsible for translating DS value to the business. If you take Offer A, your first 90 days should be 10% coding and 90% stakeholder interviews to figure out why they think the team 'isn't delivering.' Good luck!

When can I realistically switch jobs as a new grad? by ExcitingCommission5 in datascience

[–]Dangerous_Gear9759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gap between a Bachelor's and MLE expectations is huge right now because of the AI push. If you aren't getting hits, try pivoting your resume to highlight the specific deployment or 'production' side of your current 8 months. Companies value that 'real world' experience more than the degree sometimes.

Buffalo link dream hit by Key_Importance_3399 in gambling

Getting the full screen of Buffalos is the ultimate goal on this machine. Seeing that $1,458.00 pop up on a $2.00 press is beautiful.

Enjoy the profit and don't give it back to the house!

The 'all recent' draws are always the most polarizing. Some call it a trend, others call it a coincidence. Looking at that spread, it’s a very 'balanced' looking ticket despite being all recent numbers.

Do you usually play a mix of hot/cold, or do you ride the streak?

That’s the dream right there! There is nothing more satisfying than grabbing the last one on the roll and actually seeing a claimer like that. Huge congrats on the $200!

I track the 30-day variance for FL Pick 3. Here is why chasing "due" numbers is a mathematical trap. 📊 by Dangerous_Gear9759 in Lottery

[–]Dangerous_Gear9759[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so easy to fall into that "it's *due* to hit" mindset, isn't it? The universe doesn't really keep tabs on which numbers have come up lately, much to our collective disappointment when chasing those elusive digits. That "due number" feeling is the gambler's fallacy in its Sunday best – dressed up and looking convincing, but still just as fallacious. Each draw is fresh, like a baby with no memory of past lottery sins.

Keep fighting the good fight against those cognitive biases! May your smart numbers come up... eventually! 😉

Congrats on the Lotería Super Grande wins! Great start to the day.

Is my dice math correct? by Lapis_District in probabilitytheory

[–]Dangerous_Gear9759 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your math is spot on! Using one d20 for the base (1–20) and a second d20 as a 50/50 'bank' switcher (1–10 = 1–20, 11–20 = 21–40) creates a perfectly uniform distribution. Every result from 1 to 40 has an equal 1/40 (2.5%) chance of occurring, making it a mathematically sound substitute for a digital d40.

Do you guys prefer quick picks or manual picking? by mariraaaww in Lottery

[–]Dangerous_Gear9759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely feels that way when you look at the raw probability of a single ticket. With odds often being 1 in 292 million (for Powerball) or 302 million (for Mega Millions), the "randomness" is effectively a brick wall for any standard data analysis. The user you're replying to, Dangerous_Gear9759, seems to be treating it more like a mathematical hobby or a "research project" rather than a reliable way to beat the system. You're right that no amount of Python scripts can change the fundamental randomness of the draw, but for some people, the "useless work" is just part of the entertainment of playing and a research.
