Not necessarily. While you think you'll be able to bet, invest, or invent your way to success, keep in mind that the average person doesn't remember the exact results of all THAT many sporting events (and will look suspicious if they start to constantly win anyway). And that, while it's easy to say "I'm going to invent Google" (or Facebook, or the iPhone, or whatever), it's a lot harder to actually do, and do in a way that will be as successful as it was naturally.

All you really need to do is remember one set of lotto numbers and the date of the drawing. Pick a huge jackpot early in your adult life, then memorize the drawing before it was won so that you're the only winner and you don'thave to share it. Don't bother trying to remember sporting events or anything else like that. Don't try to "invent" Apple or Google. Just use that huge jackpot to invest massively in companies like Apple and Google. It won't be hard to remember half a dozen massively successful companies to get in on early. And by investing in them instead of trying to invent them, they unfold just as they did the first time around with the right people doing the right things at the right time, just like they already did.
