Every day I see lotto players making mistake after mistake, and wondering why they are not getting more wins.

So here's 11 things you MUST avoid doing. It will make you a better player and help you win faster and more often:

1. Don't play when you feel like it. Have a timetable and stick to it. Once a week, twice a month... whatever it is, set your play times in concrete and don't miss your deadline.

2. Don't believe the homegrown 'experts' when you are looking to buy a lottery system. Believe innovators like me who can prove their system works and have many winner testimonies to back it up.

3. Don't play on popular days. Many players lock themselves into a Saturday game and have to share their jackpot with dozens of others. Ask your local lotto shop which day is least popular and play on that one.

4. Don't mess with a system that works. Some Silver Lotto System buyers put their own numbers in 'for good luck.' This will give them worse results. You cannot beat a good system.

5. Don't change your numbers. If you have the budget to play 20 lines from the Silver Lotto System, then stick to those numbers each game. Don't think another different 20 lines for every game will be better - it won't.

6. Don't miss games. The major winners in any lotto game play EVERY time until their win comes up.

7. Don't give up too soon. Every breakthrough in life - and lotto - has come just when things seem to be at their bleakest.

8. Don't think you know it all. Reading each article in the Lotto Life blog will give you little-known information that could change your winning streak.

9. Don't think you are losing your entry fee (buying tickets) when you don't get a win. Paying for your tickets is a necessary requirement, and you need to be in to win.

10. Don't play games with extra balls - sometimes known as bonus balls - if you can help it. If you have a choice, stick with low ball games. Play 5 ball games, then 6-ball and higher games only if you have no other choice - and definitely use PRO to help you. Your odds improve with the lower ball games.

11. Don't play games with high numbers. Instead, play the game with the lowest numbers. The lower the number of numbers in your game, the better your odds. If you have a choice of playing two games containing, say... 45 numbers or 60... go for the low 45 game!
