International Climate Change Lottery a Possibility

Lotteries are popular around the world and provide funding for a wide variety of government programs, charities, veterans groups and many other organizations. Despite the ongoing global recession lotteries continue to do well and make a profit. In the US most states operate lotteries and there are two major multi state lotteries, Powerball and Mega Millions. Several countries have national lotteries such as the UK and Canada. In Europe the cross border lottery EuroMillions is popular and offers huge tax free jackpots. So far no one has implemented a global lottery but that may change if participants at the next climate change meeting in Cancun Mexico have their way.

The idea of a global lottery has been around since the 1970’s and is has been estimated that the global lottery market is worth about $126 billion dollars a year with gross profits amounting to $62 billion dollars a year. Climate change is a controversial topic in many countries but proponents of the global lottery say that it could fund a wide variety of research projects. Revenue generated by the climate change lottery would be channeled to one or many climate research funds.

There are several hurdles that would have to be overcome. Opposition from established government sanctioned lotteries is almost certain. It has been estimated that the global lottery could siphon profits from other lotteries to the tune of $6.2 billion dollars a year resulting in diminished profits for state and national lotteries. Political opposition from any of the first world countries could easily kill any lottery deal. In some countries religious concerns could prevent participation in a global lottery and ethical concerns would have to be addressed.

A global climate change lottery would attract many people who do not normally participate in state and national lotteries. Climate change is a hot topic and many have strong views in favor of climate research and would probably participate and buy lottery tickets for a climate change lottery. The sale of tickets for the climate change lottery would have to be addressed. In Europe, New Zealand and Australia players can purchase online lottery tickets but in the US recently passed online gaming laws and vague regulations could pose a problem for ticket sales.

Some proponents of the climate change lottery have suggested using the EuroMillions lottery as a model for the global climate change lottery. EuroMillions is a joint multi nation lottery where the bets of participants in nine countries are pooled into a larger jackpot. An International Climate Change Lottery could be a step in the right direction and would not cost taxpayers a dime!

Football Betting System … Discover The Secret To Winning 90% Of The Time! (Page 1 of 2)

Just think how much money you could make simply by using a football betting system capable of winning 9 times out of 10 …

By asking several people this question:-

Do you think it is possible to win 90% of the time simply by using a football betting system?

Answers would probably be something like …

“I don’t think so, you never see a poor bookie do you”

“You can’t win money consistently, the bookie will always get you eventually”

“You’ll always lose more than you win, the bookie will make sure of that”

“The bookies make millions of pounds profit each year, so it can’t be that easy”

“It’s a mugs game, no football betting system or any betting system can win 90% of the time”

These are the sort of answers/comments that you would probably expect to hear from most people. It certainly looks like the bookmakers really have got it made!

So, is it really a mugs game?

Well, it’s only a mugs game if you lose more than you win, if you could find a way to win 90% of the time then it wouldn’t be a mugs game any more, it would be a really smart game.

Winning 9 times out of 10, how could the average person achieve this?

First of all you need to start thinking like a bookmaker and look at betting from an entirely different angle with a more clinical and professional approach.

Thanks to the internet the average person now has the opportunity to bet and make money in the same way as the bookmakers have always done. This is made possible by making use of the Betting Exchanges, such as Betfair, Betdaq etc.

Since the inception of Betting Exchanges it is now possible to bet on almost any sporting event to lose, instead of simply betting to win.

This is called LAYING, when you place a LAY you are saying that the event you are LAYING is not going to win, this could be a football team, horse in a race, golf player etc, in fact almost any sporting event imaginable is now available to LAY.

This concept must be fully understood to enable you to think and make money like a bookmaker. It’s not difficult, just different.

All bookmakers are LAYERS, so when you make a LAY on Betfair you are actually playing the role of the bookie. It may sound a little complicated if you know absolutely nothing about the subject, trust me this really is very easy. Betting Exchanges such as ‘Betfair’ have excellent help sections should you require any further information.

To further help with your understanding I have included a LAYING example below.

I will try to explain in very simple format …

Team-A 7/4, Draw 2/1, Team-B 5/2

Here’s how it works:-

If you LAYED the draw for say £10 at odds of 2/1 then,

If the match ended in a draw you would lose £20 (2 x £10).

If the match didn’t end in a draw you would win £10 (your LAY stake), in other words you have played the role of the bookmaker and you get to keep the £10 (less a small commission to the betting exchange).
