Court is now in session to debate the topic of Lucky Numbers. Is it better to stick with a “sacred” number which is precious to you, or is it better to go with a random number that the system suggests?
A lot of people love to bet on their birthdays, jersey numbers of their favourite PSL heroes, and things like that. Defence says everyone wants to make their ticket a little unique, and that is actually fine and perfectly okay to want to gamble on a small but special moment. Nobody dares to tell Uncle Themba that his 14 that he swore by has been producing nothing but disappointment for six months straight.
The prosecution’s most important witness is the random number generator. Instead of basing its decisions on personal connections or superstitions, it simply picks numbers, without any emotional attachments. On the YesPlay mobile app, Lucky Numbers players can pick their own numbers, or let the app do all the hard work instead. All you have to do is register, pick a draw, and place your bet.
Exhibit B shows that YesPlay has betting options related to over 20 countries from all over the world, with fixed odds instead of the regular shared jackpot tickets. This setup gives everyone in the country a chance to play online and try their luck at a variety of local and international draws, and if you’re lucky, you can even be rewarded with a YesPlay bonus. This court case is all about numbers and nothing else.
It’s official. Choosing numbers you like isn’t stupid. And choosing random numbers isn’t smart either. Both are blind when you’re predicting the future outcomes. So if you feel like picking birthdays or some other important numbers that mean something to you, go for it! If not, you can just let the generator on the YesPlay mobile app do all the hard work for you. So if you’re ever feeling like today is your day, remember that picking numbers isn’t such a big deal. Give it a try some time.
