Probability of Repeats, Subsequent DrawsReply
Went back by hand and looked at the last 52 draws on lotto south. 25 repeats of 1 digit ....and of those only 2 two number repeats. Of the 25 repeats 16 were odd numbers....and only 9 even. Each of the 6 positions had at least one hit. position 1.....5 hits p2.....3 hits p3.....1 hit * p4.....1 hit * p5.....6 hits p6.....7 hits Based on this and other considerations, it seems the value of this as a tool to pick the next repeat number

Statistics, weighting and scope....Reply
hyper,I'm still working on trying to generate a useful number sequence, but I've applied weighting to the dates and frequencies in my standby method. It appears to have helped in narrowing down the numbers. I hit 3 of 6 on two lines of my LOTTO South plays at $5 each on Saturday. I played five lines , so I made $5. I'll see what the weighting does for my results on Wednesday night. I'll be playing a few more lines, but I'm satisfied that I have all the good numbers covered.

rdarmandI think you put your case very well. It's a pleasure to read a well thought out answer and even though I don't agree with you I hope you continue to engage me and others who believe we can change the odds a bit.QWEST46 (Jason)There are a core of members here, some regular posters others pretty quiet who have achieved success and who have knowledge that they keep to themselves. I reveal a bit but I sometimes sense that there is a member there (the inner circle) wagging his finger and sile

Skips Revisited.Reply
Hi destinycreation, If you don t mind, I ve used the South Carolina Palmetto Cash 5 for my example as that was the easiest for me to get a bit of historical data for. I have the last 230 draws that I m using. In this example, I am using one of the filters called ExceedSkip . Essentially the criteria for this filter states that I want a list of the triple combinations that have not exceeded a skip value of 3 for at least the last 26 skip values and whose current skip value is now
