Look at this and calculate the Odds...Reply
I don't play pick3 games but if I could calculate the odds that 5 numbers would not appear in a particular position for a period of time I would be playing because if I was right only half the time I could make money. Pick3 is the combined random outcomes of 3 events that have 10 possible outcomes which equal 1000 possible out comes together. Eliminating 5 of those outcomes for each event would reduce the total possible outcomes to 125 instead of 1000 and covering those 125 outcomes would pay

Help JADELotteryReply
Actually my sample is not flawed for what I wanted to know. What I wanted to know was the probability of the event itself, which to me is defined as the same boxed combo having been drawn in the specific 17 different states and entities a total of 21 times from October 11th through November 8th. This period of time included 780 individual drawings. I didn't intend my question to get an answer with much meaning or utility as I only asked it becaused I was curious of the chance of it occuring

probability typesReply
I don't really expect the laws of probability to defy themselves at all, I just have a hope that someday certain such events will be discovered. So far, everything I have ever tested performs at a percentage which is extremely close to its true probability. When the probability is very low (higher odds) then measuring them for accuracy can and will takes many more future draws. The simply probability of a straight Pick 3 for example (.001), 1 in 1000 or .1% is difficult to measure even over 1

Using the 16 games in the last example or using the 3 games to eliminate numbers in the first example was just a way to define a pool of numbers less than 55 that had done well in the past. Other parameters could probably do even better. If I could reduce the pool to 10 numbers that had in the past hit 5% of the time then I would just play those numbers and wait for the event to happen. In the MM and PB challenges in the jackpot section, participants have been picking 15 white balls and 5

Interesting post Jordi For the daily games (pick 3/pick 4) you can actually calculate all of the true probabilities using the methods that are outlined by combinatorics. Examining empirical amounts of data (large histories of previous results that is) will verify the accuracy of the probability calculated by the combinatorics: if something has a 20% chance of occuring, it will occur 20% of the time, if something has only a 1% chance of occuring, it will only occur about 1% of the time, etc.

a sorta stupid question for the math typeReply
d : a functional relationship between two or more correlated variables that is often empirically determined from data and is used especially to predict values of one variable when given values of the others <the regression of y on x is linear> ; specifically : a function that yields the mean value of a random variable under the condition that one or more independent variables have specified values That's the definition that jschay56 was referring to, but just adding up the numbers in e

Help with mathematical averagesReply
You have to watch it with averages. I was looking at a guy with a bald spot on the top of his head and reasonably long hair on the back and sides of his head. So, what's his average hair length. It's probably the same as someone elses who has uniform hair length all across his head. The point being, how does an average become an average at the event level, via extremes or uniformly? Most of the lottery data I've looked at seems to be a mix..hot numbers/cold numbers/ and some average number

Dumb question of the dayReply
I firmly believe that the stated odds is an equation that cannot be reduced...for my example let's look at pick3...1 ticket, odds are 1 in 1,000 it is a SINGLE EVENT you are betting on.2 tickets, odds are 2:1,000 (the 1,000 is fixed because it is the number of possible outcomes.... now you have increased the number of FAVORABLE outcomes to 2, but this in no way reduces the possible outcomes... and they are still only drawing ONE combo)most people don't see it my way, if that helps them justify p

Determinism vs Randomness and ChanceReply
jimmy All they need to do is google your topics and follow the links. None of the post you have made are original in any since of the word. You claim to have such great understanding of probability that even before a method is posted your convinced it is flawed. Now you have resorted to saying I have faked my tickets somehow. You stated Who here couldn't produce tons of them? Really I ask you to produce lets say 5ea 3 of 5's and one 4 of 5 by friday for your PA 5-30 game that I co
