How about a separate discussion forum for each of the regional 6/49 lotteries?

Maybe this is tad soon to bring this up but would there be any interest in separate discussion forums for each of the regional 6/49 lotteries, i.e. On 6/49, BC 6/49, Atlantic 6/49, Western 6/49?
If there is interest would LT be willing to set them up, or would it just complicate the lotto forum board too much?
The few agents that I've asked and other people are not impressed with the price hikes. Beaker may be right in his opinion that it will turn out to be an experiment gone bad.
Just a thought.

Your idea is not bad...But so far it is a mirage only...

No

Hi,

Mirage you are absolutely right !

Due to this recent change in Can649 and people being more interested in Ont649 it would make much more sense to create new forum under 'lotteries' exclusively for Ont649 and continue all discussions there. This way Ont649 will not be mixed with Lottario or other regional lotteries.

What is your take on this LT ?

So as not to take anything away from other regional lotteries, perhaps a good start would be to start dedicated threads for Ont49, Atl49 ... etc, just like the dedicated threads in the 649 forum, instead of jamming them all into one "June 5th" thread.

After a while it should become more clear which lotteries (if any) do need a dedicated forum, not just a thread. Just thinking out loud.

shirazbai, I agree.

I think shirazbai is right, things will soon sort themselves out so going with separate threads for now is probably enough. Seems like CN49 still has a bit of momentum, maybe hard to quit cold turkey for some players

So don't be affraid to start a thread for your fave provincial and see how many will respond, may want to keep preds and discussion in one thread for each to start.

My 2 cents
4 cents actually, keeping up with the recent increases

Btw, did I mention that BCLC SUCKS!! yet?

Babarlish:

Here is a cure for you... ...learn to use the keyboard more

.

Putting in each province is the way to go

. You might seen more members after catering to lotteries others will probably play more now

.

Atlantic Payday just started and they have one... ...no fair, Sheba got some pull somewhere

.

George

The Oracle also think Shirazbai to be right. Burn incense in the temple to Shirazbai.

As for Brad and Mirage, the Oracle likes to way you think also (caugh, caugh, too much smoke here), may the good fortune repay you your 4 cents a hundredfold.

gsobier, the Oracle started using a keyboard when computers had 8 inch floppy disks and DOS was not yet invented. Whatever LT will decide will be fine with me. My first message was an attempt to humor Mirage, not to oppose his idea.

I'm not against ...I just think of something here...It has to be simple for new comers to find...

Dennis Bassboss · #14 06-05-2004, 12:35 AM

A good idea might to remove the Atlantic Pay Day from the board ..This would help getting more space on the board...

peter · #15 06-05-2004, 01:15 AM

I think thats an excellent idea
