Gambling...
I play poker, Texas Hold'em once a month. This month the game is at my house. $10 to play, if you are below your 1000 chip buy in before the 30th hand you can get another 1000 chips for another $10. Wining pot is typically from $70 to $100. After the big money game we usually play a $5 game with 500 chips and no re-buys. It's all good friendly fun.

Back in the day I was really interested in Chaos mathematics. Set down and did some Chaos based statistics on Black Jack. I built up a table basing whether the NEXT hand would win or lose based on my current face up and hole card and the dealers face up card. I thought it fit Chaos math because it didn't have to predict the actual cards, but just the trend of the next hand so you knew whether to bet high or low. It put the odds at 60% in my favor. Never played it at a Casino though.

I also did the same thing trending lottery numbers using Chaos theory. I could trend each ball within ±3 numbers or 7. The problem is to guarantee a 5 ball win, $200,000 you would have to buy tickets for every permutation of the 7 numbers for each of the 5 balls. That's 7 to the 5th power or 78,125 tickets. Checked that it worked by checking against the past winning numbers, but I haven't got $78,125 AND to be able to by 78,125 tickets in 4, 10 hour days I would have to buy a ticket every 2 seconds. And recently the price of the tickets went up as did the prize money.
