1. Misjudgment of availability
Examples:
a) Attempts to get the one and only one big win in a lottery. For instance, if there is only one grand prize in a lottery, only one person will get it, no matter how many people are using equipment to get that big one. Well known are of course the massive interferences when someone attempts to beat incredible odds to get some of these famous jack pots! Even if you can use the equipment to up your odds three fold, even ten fold, you would need to wait a statistical average of 100,000 drawings instead of 1 million drawings to get such a “big one”. So it can work, provided you give it enough time and a substantial investment of money. Of course, statistical averages are statistical averages. You may hit it as well tomorrow with a single ticket! Some of the gods to whom “wannabee” winners pray must be quite annoyed, considering that of a million or so prayers to them for the “big one” all are doomed to fail, with the exception of one and only one, provided, of course, that a person who prayed gets that big one and not one who has a Chi Generator® and manifestation program!
b) Attempts to get a specific famous person as a lover. This situation is similar to the one as above (availability of the big win), especially if the would-be lover has nothing to offer in return (as is usually the case) and is one of the many others who bug those folks with that annoying “fan” mail, which their secretaries rightfully ditch.
c) Attempts to strike it rich in a business venture that promises wealth to its marks, and which has been established and structured mainly to bring wealth to the corporation only, which sells these “opportunities”. Typically, most MLM (multi level marketing) scams fall into this category.
