Hello, fellow lottery players!!

Been several months since my last post regarding workouts for
Pick 5, Pick 5+ and Pick 6 lotteries.

Since there have been no posts since October 2006, I think
I can assume that my gap strategy was just too complex and
time consuming. I agree.

I'm still using Gaps for the lotteries I play. No jackpots
yet, but I have had more than a few wins.

I don't know if anyone is interested, but I thought I would
provide an update of the changes I've made to the strategy,
with particular emphasis on how the data can be used in making
predictions, a major fault in my initial posts.

I have developed a gap strategy for Pick 3 (any order only),
and I'm ready for the Pick 4 game coming to Texas later this year.

Previously, I suggested 1 lottery number sequence and up to 6
gap sequences for each number group. This caused more work than
I had anticipated, and made the overall strategy more complex
than it needed to be. As a result, I now suggest 1 lottery
number sequence and 1 corresponding gap sequence.

I discovered that the additional gap sequences provided some
interesting results but I haven't found a way to exploit them.
Besides, too darn much work and I just don't have the time
to work with it.

I have made major changes to the D&C charts to provide more
data on a single page. I've added a couple of features that makes
the data more useful and to facilitate the prediction process.

The overall stategy provides up to 14 different ways to
predict lottery numbers - 7 based on lottery number sequences,
and 7 based on gap number sequences.

I'm not computer literate. I don't know how to use Excel. I'll
try to incorporate as many examples as I can.

So, get your graph paper out. Red and blue color pencils will
be handy.

Stay tuned.

Bobby

Thanks bobby623.

I'm willing to give it another shot.

Here the link to the previous posts on gap strategy.

http://www.lotterypost.com/thread/142512

I'm thinking that I need to review what 'gap strategy' is and how to generate a gap stream that can be used in the prediction process.

Players who analyze lottery numbers for trends, etc, are often frustrated by the fact that the
differences in the lottery number totals provide no real clues. I track one lottery where the
totals for the 10 numbers in a C stream (20-29) differ by a total of five. It's really
unbelievable how flat the distribution is, but, that's what random lottery number generation
is all about.

However, when the same lottery number stream is used to generate a Gap stream, an entirely different picture
emerges. This is why I use gaps, and numbers, to generate my plays. I'm confident my work will pay off
one day.

Gap numbers are generated by counting the spaces between like numbers in a lottery number stream. I call
the spaces 'active numbers' or numbers that have not been crossed out during gap generation.

The total active numbers in a lottery number depends on the lottery matrix. That is, there are usually
9 A numbers (1-9), 10 B numbers (10-19), 10 C numbers (20-29), 10 D numbers (30-39), 10 E numbers
(40-49) and 10 F numbers (50-59).

There could be fewer numbers in the C, D, E and F groups, depending on the lottery. For example, there
are 8 D numbers in a Pick 5 game with 37 numbers. 6 C numbers in a Pick 5 game with 25 numbers, etc.

Here are some examples on how gap numbers are determined.

Example: Existing lottery number stream: 2.7.8.4.1.3.9.5.6.

Next lottery number is 5. Enter 5 at bottom of the stream (before 2).
Counting the active numbers (starting with 2) up the column to the 5 produces a gap number of 8.

The 5 would be crossed out, the gap number 8 would be placed at the bottom of the gap stream,
which should be in a column adjacent to the lottery number column. The 8 already in the
gap stream would be crossed out. Similarly to the lottery number stream, there can
only be 9 active gap numbers.

The revised number stream is 5.2.7.8.4.1.3.9.6

Next lottery number is an 8.

Place the 8 at the bottom of the lottery number column. Count the active numbers up to
the number 8. In this example, the gap number is 4.

Cross out the lottery number 8 and add 4 to the bottom of the gap column.

The revised lottery number stream is 8.5.2.7.4.1.3.9.6

Next lottery number is a 4, which produces a gap number of 5.

The lottery number 4 is crossed out and the gap number 5 is placed at the
bottom of the gap stream.

The active gap number 5 would be crossed out.

The revised lottery number stream is 4.8.5.2.7.1.3.9.6.

The last three numbers in the gap stream, from these examples, would be 5.4.8.

It should be noted in the above examples that gaps for lottery numbers are NOT fixed.
That is, for example, if the next lottery number is a 5, it would produce a gap
number of 3, instead of the 8 it generated previously.

This is important aspect of gap strategy, as will be shown in future examples.

More later.

Part 1 of 2 parts

Revised Distribution and Count (D&C) chart.

The original D&C chart wasn't very useful when using the Gap Strategy to predict numbers.

This new version is much more useful.

I'm going to describe the various items using a piece of graph paper that has at least
30 columns and 35 rows.

I'm using a version that goes with my Pick 3 prediction strategies.

At the top of the page, on rows 1-3, enter the name of the lottery you are tracking,
the Round number, from-to-dates.

On the one I'm using I have Texas Pick 3 Day, Round 3 and the dates.

These are the column headings.

Row 2, Column 2: Enter a ? mark, column 3, enter a # sign, skip column 4, Column 5 enter
a G, column 6, enter a ? mark.
Skip columns 7 thru 17.
Column 18, enter #MFL, skip columns 19 and 20, column 21, Enter LR (Last round),
Column 22, enter # sign, column 23, enter ? sign, skip column 24, column 25 and 26,
enter #MFS across the columns, skip column 27, Column 28, enter H5, skip column 29,
column 30, enter C5.

Explanations: The ? mark in Column 2 has one of two answers - Yes or No. A Y is
entered if the corresponding lottery number in column 3 is one of the Hot numbers
listed in column 28. A N is entered if the lottery number is a cold number,
as listed in column 30.

More headers:

Skip to Row 18 where additional headers are entered.
C18 - GMFL. skip C19 and C20, C21, enter LR, C22, enter G, C23, enter a ? mark,
skip C24, C25 and C26, enter GMFS, skip C27, C28 enter H5, skip C29, C30
enter C5

More headers:
Go to Row 35
Enter H&C Inventory, spread across columns 21 to 27.
Row 36, Column 21, enter Date, column 25 date.
Row 37, columns 21 and 22, enter ###, C25 and 26, enter ###.
Row 38, C21 enter Y, C22, enter N.  C25 enter Y, C26 enter N.
Row 39, C20, enter G, C21, enter ###, C24 enter #, C25 and 26, enter ###.

            Y  N      Y N
            G115 121    #60 55

More explanations
The #s in C3 are the last 10 active lottery numbers. Additional lottery numbers are added
exactly and in the order that they occur in the winning number triple.
The Gs in C5 are the last 10 active Gap numbers. They are added in the order generated. See
earlier post on how the gaps are generated.
Note: There is no correlation between # and G. They are independent, stand alone streams.

If the next lottery number is 7, the corresponding gap number would be 6. The 7 would be
crossed out and the new 7 would be entered as the next active lottery number in the #
stream.
The Gap number would be added at the bottom of C5. The 6 already in the G stream would be crossed
out.

The Ys and Ns would be entered according to the # and G data listed.
Lottery number 7 is NOT one of the 5 hot numbers, therefore, an N is entered in C2 next to the 7.
Gap number 6 is a Hot number, therefore, a Y is entered in C6 next to the 6.

I'm going to continue this in another post.

Bobby

Hope the columns and rows line up right!!

Note: This is about workouts for Pick 5 and 6 games, but I'm using
data for a Pick 3 game to explain the D&C chart. Hope Todd doesn't
move it to the Pick 3 forum.

Explanaton of revised D&C chart

Part 2.

Sorry that the columns don't line up I should
have fixed it before posting. But, senior moment!

The #MFL is the number of times each of the lottery numbers have come
up since I started keeping gap statistics for this Pick 3 game. The totals
are not current.

The stats for a Pick 5 game are generated in the same way. The totals are
cumulative in the A, B, C, D, E and F groups. The data is for at least
30 drawings.

Although the lottery numbers are crossed out as the process advances,
a Master inventory is started and maintained for as long
as a game is being tracked. The same is true for the Gap streams.

Both streams get longer and longer over time, but the number prediction
process only considers the  last 9 or 10 active numbers in the streams.
Although the numbers aren't needed after the inventories are compiled,
I recommend you keep them for future reference, if needed.

This will become clearer when the various prediction schemes are explained.

The LR column shows the number of times each number came up in the last round.
This is needed because there is no  #MFS (#Most Frequent Short Term) data
at the beginning of a round.

The LR totals are added to the MFS inventory when a new Round begins.
The / is used to log the number of times the numbers repeat during the round.

As was indicated in the original posts for Gap strategy, A round is
a period of time in which data is presented for viewing and used in the
predictions process. The length is set by the person keeping the stats.
I usually start a new round after 10 to 15 drawings.

The counts under the MFS column are just moved over to the LR column.

The Y and N assignments are based on the MFL inventory. The
numbers with the 5 highest totals are the Hot numbers. These could
change at the start of a new round.

The data for the Gaps is the same as for the lottery numbers.

The H&C Inventories are updated at the end of a round.
In the example, there were 236 entries in the G stream. There were
115 Y answers and 121 N answers. While this data is open to
various interpretations, it does show that H and C gaps have
come up almost equally.

Keeping long and short term Y and N inventories is helpful.
While the H and C could balance over a long term, there
could be an imbalance over the short term. I've found this
to be true and useful.

This same theory applies to the lottery numbers and gaps.

FYI. I'm going to take a break and allow you folks who are interested
in this strategy, if there are any, to get caught up. It all begins
with the # and G streams and the corresponding inventories. Logging
the data in the D&C charts provide for easy reference.

Once you have all the data to consider, then you can start making
judgments on what future winning numbers might be.

It doesn't matter if the winning numbers are from ball machines or
computers. we aren't trying to reverse engineer the
lottery's RNGs.

I've found that the gap strategy gives me a variety of options when
I pick my numbers to play.

Remember that Gap strategy generates numbers to be used in a wheel. The
number of numbers are usualy dependent on how deep your pockets are.
Mine are shallow, so, I usually pick 16 numbers (4 As, 4 Bs, 4 Cs and 4 Ds) in the
Pick 5 lotteries I play.

The next post will be on how 4 B numbers in the Florida Fan 5 Cash 5 lottery
could be generated.

I've presented a lot of information in these recent posts. I'm sure I've a made a mistake or two, which I hope
will be overlooked. If you need further explanations, respond with post reply.

Read carefully!

The gap strategy has up 14 different prediction schemes, all based on the
gap stream.

The tools, if thats the right word, include:
1. a current gap stream
2. a current lottery number stream
3. Updated Distribution and Counts chart
4. Luck

I'm using a Prediction Techique I call GNR (Gaps-No Repeats)
I use 'No-repeats' because there is a technique where repeats are permitted.

Hopefully, anyone interested in the technique knows how to generate a gap stream.
If you don't, then the following may not have much meaning.

New terms.

Position ID: There are 10 of these, one for each gap stream number.
They are F1, F2, F3, F4, F5  and L1, L2, L3, L4, L5. This is a fixed, non-varying sequence.

Position ID Inventory: This a cumulative count of the PIDS.

Position ID Hot Line: This is a sequential list of the 10 PIDs in the order generated
by the gap numbers.

AlphaID: This is the data used to make predictions. There are 4 AIDs. A, B, C, and R.

AlphaID Inventory: This is a cumulative count of the AIDs. If the lottery has been tracked for a long
time, the total AIDS could be 100 or more, depending on the number group for which the
predictions apply - for this prediction scheme. Total could be higher or lower for other
number groups.

The lottery number groups A (10), B (10-19), C (20-29), D (30-39), E (40-49) F (50-59).

Examples (Using the B group)

The lottery number stream is:      10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19

The gap stream is:                  1  2   3   4  5  6  7  8  9  10

The gap strategy has up 14 different prediction schemes, all based on the
gap stream.

The tools, if thats the right word, include:
1. a current gap stream
2. a current lottery number stream
3. Updated Distribution and Counts chart

Examples (Using the B group)

The lottery number stream is:      10.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19

The gap stream is:                    1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

The fixed PIDs are:                  F1.F2.F3.F4.F5.L1.L2.L3.L4.L5

The current AIDS stream is:        A  A  C  B  B  C  A  C  C  C
 
The current PID Hot Line is:         L4.F2.F3.L2.F5.L1.L3.F1.F4.L5

These are made up sequences.

Lets say the next lottery number is 14. The gap is 5.

Referring to the sequences above, the PID for Gap 5 is F5. (Note: these values change
as more lottery numbers and gap numbers are added. In other words, the PID for Gap 5
could be F1.

The PID, F5, is added to the PID Hot Line in the first position on left side of the stream.
The F5 already in the stream is obliterated, thats right, obliterated, not crossed off.
 
The revised lottery number stream is:      14.10.11.12.13.15.16.17.18.19

The revised Gap stream is:              5  1  2  3  4  6  7  8  9 10

The PIDs are not changed:              F1.F2.F3.F4.F5.L1.L2.L3.L4.L5
           
The revised PID Hot Line is:            F5.L4.F2.F3.F4.L1.L2.L3.L4.L5

The PID Hot line is separated into 4 parts:

In this example,

F5.L4.F2, which are in positions 1.2.3, equals AlphaID 'A'
F3.F4.L1, which are in positions 4.5.6, equals AlphaID 'B'
L2.L3.L4. which are in positions 7.8.9, equals AlphaID 'C'
L5, which is in position 10, equals AlphaID 'R'

Therefore, PID F5 is an A.
 
The A is added at the end, far right, of existing AID stream.

It goes without saying that all of the inventories will be updated accordingly. It's
import to know what the cumulative totals are.

PREDICTION

What to play?

Lets say that my AlphaID Inventory is as follows:

R - 7
A - 23
B - 37
C - 18.

Lets say that I want to find 4 'B' numbers for my lottery Wheel.  Remember. this strategy is for Wheeling purposes.

There is a phrase seen in these forums that goes like this: "Play whats hot, not whats not." I think this applies
to all lottery data.

I've evaluated all the lottery data files I have for the 'B' numbers in the lottery game I'm using
in this example.

I have decided to play 1 A, 2 Bs and 1 C. or ABBC.

Now I need to find the lottery numbers to play.

The PID Hot Line breakdown gives me 3 choices for As - F5.L4.F2
The PID Hot Line breakdown gives me 3 choices for Bs - F3.F4.L1
The PID Hot Line breakdown gives me 3 choices for Cs - L2.L3.L4

Choices (educated guesses)

I need 1 A - I choose L5
I need 2 Bs - I choose F3.F4
I need 1 C - I choose L2

Thus:  A  B  B  C
      L5.F3.F4.L2.

Find the Gap numbers:

Referring to the PID line, not the Hot Line, in the example above, I see that L5 is under Gap 10.
So, the Gap number for A is 10.

The lottery number to play is found by counting up the stream by an amount indicated by the Gap number. In this
instance, Gap 10 equals Lottery Number 19.

Again, referring to the PID Line, I see that F3 is under Gap 2. The lottery number to play is 10. The F4 is
under Gap 3, the lottery number is 11.

Referring to the PID Line, I see that L2 is under Gap 7. The corresponding lottery number is 16.

Therefore, the 'B' numbers in my wheel are:  19.10.11.16.

I would follow the same procedures for predicting which 'A', 'C' and 'D' numbers for the Pick 5 game
I'm tracking.

It goes without saying that the PID Hot Line and the AlphaID inventories are crucial factors
in this prediction scheme.

I didn't show them here, but the PID inventories can aide the prediction process.

I've not attempted it, but I think the cumulative AIDS stream could be analyzed to find
additional trends.

A lot more could be said, but, bottomline, playing lotteries is about making choices. While this
strategy may not produce winning numbers all the time, it beats random selection or
choices typically based on number frequencies, hot lists, and the many other ways lottery numbers
can be generated.

More later.

What is a gap?

I've received queries from some people  who are having trouble
figuring out what a 'gap' is.

One person wanted to know if 'gap' is the same as 'skip,' like
the number draws a particular has not come up?

Another asked if 'gap' is the number of numbers from one number
to the next. For example, the number of numbers between 5 and 8
is 3, so, is the gap always 3?

The answers are no and no.

The definition of 'gap' in my Gap Strategy is this:

The gap is the total number of spaces between 2 like numbers (14 and 14, 10 and 10
17 and 17, etc) in the same number stream.

In lotteries, the total number of numbers in a stream is usually 9 or
10. The exceptions are lottery games where the highest numbers are less
than 10, such as a Pick 5 game with 36 numbers. In this instance, the
30s stream would have 7 numbers.

I could come up with a dozen ways to describe what a 'gap' is, but
the best example is an example of how a gap is generated, as
far as this strategy is concerned.

Example of an existing number stream:  2.5.8.4.1.9.7.6.3.

This stream is the single numbers (1 to 9) in a lottery I'm tracking. The
3 is the most recent number. The 2 is a number that hasn't come up
for awhile. The next number would be added after the 3.

Usually, the most recent numbers are called the Hot numbers. Numbers that
haven't come up in awhile are known as Cold numbers. Thus, the 2 in this
example is the coldest number, the 3 being the hottest number.

Lottery numbers that are being logged and tracked can be displayed in columns
or horizontally.

I've found and highly recommend that graph paper be used and the
numbers be placed in order of occurrence in a single column. This
facilitates the gap generation process and provides opportunities
to add other related information.

Horizontal displays are best when analyzing the streams and making
predictions. However, it's important to keep track so that
streams are not reversed.

The numbers are always added in the order in which they occur in
a winning number combination. For example, if 3.4.9 are in the
winning combination, the 3 is added first, the 4 second and the
nine is added last. This is important.

Generating gaps.

Using the example stream above:

If the next lottery number is a 4, the gap number is 6.

In order words, the gap is the total number of spaces between
the number being added to the stream and the same number already
in the stream.

In this example, the first space is 3, the second space is 6, the third
space the 7, the fourth space is the 9 and the sixth space is the 4.

The new 4 is added to the bottom of the column, or on the right end of the
horizontal stream. The old 4 is crossed off.

The updated stream is 2.5.8.1.9.7.6.3.4

If the next lottery number is 8, the gap number is 7 (counting the horizontal
stream, right to left).

The new 8 is added to the list, on the far right, or at the bottom
of the list if a column list is being kept.

The existing 8 is marked off.

The new stream is 2.5.1.9.7.6.3.4.8

In practice, the gap numbers are placed in a separate column adjacent
to the lottery numbers.

The gap number stream expands as more lottery numbers are added. Repeat gap numbers
are marked off as they occur so that the gap stream has the exact same number of
individual digits as the lottery stream.

In practice, both of the streams will have a mix of active numbers - numbers
that have NOT been crossed off - and numbers that have been crossed off.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THE SPACE OCCUPIED BY A NUMBER THAT HAS
BEEN CROSSED OFF MUST NOT BE COUNTED WHEN GAP NUMBERS ARE BEING
DETERMINED.

The relationship between a lottery number and a gap number will vary as
new numbers are added.

In this example, lottery number 4 generated a gap of 6. The next
time lottery number 4 comes up, it could, probably will, generate a
different gap number.

The gap number stream is used in the lottery number prediction scheme
and must be 100 percent accurate.

The length of lottery and gap streams with active and inactive numbers can become quite long
over a period of time, which is GOOD. This is history data that can be used to
develope number counts, inventories, frequeny distribution charts and other forms of data usually kept
by lottery players.

This is why it is important that lottery and gap numbers being crossed off should still
be readable. The older portions of the stream, the part without any active numbers,
can eventually be discarded.

I'm open to questions regarding gap generation.

Gap Theory-Predictions from D&C charts

Playing the 'hot' numbers seems to be an ongoing trend.
The definition of 'hot' and 'cold' varies widely.
There are many LP posts where someone is seeking advice
on how to decide.

Of course, there is no absolute answer.

Numbers in a lottery game are in constant flux. A number
that could be called 'hot' today could be 'cold' tomorrow.

If you have been following this thread on Gap Strategy, you have
read about what I call - Distribution and Count Charts.

There are 2 charts for each lottery number group, which are:
Group A - numbers from 1-9, Group B - numbers from 10 to 19
Group C - numbers from 20 to 29, Group D - numbers from
30-39, Group E - numbers from 40 to 49 and Group F -
numbers from 50 to 59.

One chart tracks the lottery numbers.The second chart tracks the gap numbers.
These are separate and independent data streams.

Folks who track lotteries and have D&C charts already
know the advantages. And they probably have a broader and more accurate
view about whats hot and whats not.

Before going further, it's time to introduce an important
word - occurrences. This is a cumulative count of numbers,
gaps and other factors.

The D&C format and example was introduced in an earlier post.
The types of data being tracked in columnar form are:

-lottery numbers in order of occurrence.

-gap numbers in order of occurrence.

-Y & N designations on whether lottery and gap numbers are Hot (Y) or Cold (N).

-MFL or Most Frequent Long-term, which is a cumulative count of each lottery
and gap numbers as they occurred. The count begins when the tracking process
began.

-LR or Last Round - A cumulative count of the number of times each number or gap
occurred during the last Round.

A Round is set period of time for which the tabulations are logged. This
designation varies depending on the lottery game, and the 'keeper' of the
stats. For example, twice weekly games would have a longer time
period than a daily game.

-MFS. Most Frequent Short-term, which is a cumulative count of each
lottery and gap numbers as they occur. This data provides a current
indication of current trends by tabulating how often lottery and gap numbers come up.

-H5. A list of the five numbers and gaps that have come up (occurred) most often,
as indicated by the MFL tabulations.

-C5. A list of the five numbers and gaps that come up least often, as
indicated by the MFL tabuations.

End of Round dates - An indication when the Round began and when it will end.

When a round ends, the most frequent short-term data is transferred and added
to the most frequent long-term columns.

Since there is no short-term data when a Round begins, the most frequent
short-term totals are also placed the Last Round column.

The H5 and C5 designations are revised in accordance with the new Most Frequent
Long-term totals.

Predictions:

1. Hot and Cold numbers and gaps based on Most Frequent Long-Term tabulations.

Simply refer to the H5 and C5 number columns and choose as many as are needed
for the wheel being used.

Remember - gap strategy supports wheeling.

A question here is how many hot and cold numbers should be chosen.

You will recall that the numbers and gaps have been assigned a Y or N designation as they
occurred, using data from the MFL inventory, and logged in the ? column.

Counting the number of times the Y and N assignment were made for total tracking
process could make a distinction. For example, if there are significantly more
Ys than Ns, then one could choose more Y numbers than N numbers.

The Y and N totals over a long period might not vary enough to aid
selection. In one lottery I'm tracking, the Ys and Ns gap number totals are exactly
the same for the A group. However, the totals for the B group gap numbers show
a distinct bias in favor of the N designation.
 
Keep in mind that when working with lottery number data, the numbers chosen are
the numbers for the wheel. If gap numbers are used, they have to be converted
to lottery numbers.

2.Hot and Cold numbers and gaps based on Most Frequent Short-term tabulations.

This is essentially the same as using long-term data, only the total are smaller
and trends are not easily detected. Numbers and gaps that came up most often
in a prior round might not be as active in a current round.

One could choose the lottery numbers or gap numbers that have come up most often during the
current Round or the Last Round. Some lottery numbers or gap numbers might not
occur until well into the Round.

It's a matter of choice. All one can do is make personal judgments based on hard
evidence and trends reflected in the charts.

Of course, it goes without saying that 'garbage in means garbage out.'

In other words, the D&C charts must be kept current. A hit and miss approach will
provide misleading clues.

Note: There are additional prediction schemes based on gap strategy, but, they
are somewhat complex - and I'm not sure I can adequately explain how they work.

Todd is probably tired of these long posts.

I'm going to take a break and give everyone interested in gap strategy time to
catch up. The GNR scheme has provided good results for me and the lotteries
I track. The additional schemes, one where repeat numbers and gaps is permitted,
are easy to use, if one is proficient with the GNR techique.

Thanks for your interest.

I'm not tired of them at all -- you're doing an awesome job and I, for one, really appreciate it!

You're doing a great job, Bobby.

I would'nt have the patience to explain it as well as you have.

I find it very interesting material.
