There are many reviews and articles that concentrate on the techniques, tips and tricks used by gamblers to increase their odds of winning, i.e. doing the math, spreading the risk etc, however, there are very few that take into account the psychological state of the participant. Many regular gamblers will be able to relate to the feeling of confidence they get when they know they are going to win, and they are aware of how negative feelings almost invariably result in a loss, so why is it that so few concentrate on improving that positive mental state?

Without a doubt there are some days when we feel lucky, full of confidence, if only we could harness that feeling and bottle it, then use it when required.

It was this thought that got me searching for ways to help program my subconscious mind with the intent to perhaps in someway influence my chances of winning.

The methods I found can be used by any open-minded individual of average intelligence. All that is required is the ability and willingness to look at personal mind-power in a different way and the dedication to practice these procedures, some of which can be learned in one night.

I'm not talking about theoretical "mumbo-jumbo" designed to merely titillate your interest, and then leave you with no practical formula to follow. I'm talking about hands-on instructions which were developed by a group of serious businessmen in a dedicated research laboratory, designed to take you through various mind-power disciplines step by step so that you can understand, learn and use them.

Ever noticed how tennis champs can't stop smiling after they win a major tournament? Ever noticed how runner, Michael Johnson couldn't stop smiling and talking after he broke the world record? Ever notice how Mohammed Ali couldn't stop talking before, during, or after his best and biggest fights? (which he had already won "in his mind" before the event! aha!)

That's what evolution of the mind is all about. Tricking your mind into believing that the future is really the past and, when this "clicks into place" in your mind, it literally becomes the truth.

Here is a very simple visualisation technique which can start you on the road towards greatly improving your luck.

Place yourself in a comfortable situation where you will not be disturbed. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing while you feel the tensions wash away. Tell yourself that with each breath you take you will relax more and more.

Now project you mind into the universe. You can do this by imagining yourself travelling at breathtaking speed away from planet earth and positioning yourself so that you can "picture" the universe. You can see the galaxies and star systems and one giant scintillating pool of energy. Then picture yourself wrapping your consciousness around this magnificent energy source and becoming part of it. Feel it permeate your very being with its vibrancy. Feel it explode into your consciousness with its pure white brightness. Feel it compressing in your mind so that the entire universe becomes one ball of blue/white energy.

Now picture the financial event you require to happen and transfer the scintillating ball of pure energy into that event. Picture the required windfall event actually happening while you are connected to this energy. Picture a jackpot happening in front of you and feel the emotional excitement involved.

It's important to note that this is not a one off exercise; it needs to be repeated every day for at least 21 days. However it can be made even more powerful when combined with other techniques that are available for free to those keen to improve their luck.
