Here we go!!
I assume players interested in Gap Strategy have drawn up the 5 forms.
Time now to start logging lottery and gap numbers.
However, there are a couple of things that need to be said:
1. Accuracy counts - There should never be more or less than 10 active cells in the lottery and gap number streams.
2. All of the streams have multiple uses. Therefore, the cell entries need to be
legible. Correcting errors is difficult. I use a pencil, but ink is OK.
3. When marking off a cell, use a method that doesn't obscure the underlying number.
I use a light slash mark.
4. All of the forms must be updated together. Therefore, the motion will go
from Form 1, to Form 2, to Form 3 to Form 4 and then Form 5. This is because
entries on one form determine the entries in the next.
5. Predicting random events is impossible. However, the trends, inventory totals and
other features of Gap Strategy that show themselves over a period of time can be used to guide the guesswork.
6. For players using Excel - I don't have the slightest idea how you can update the streams. This is a
paper-pencil workout. I suggest you set Excel aside and use graph paper for the time being.
I'm going to use the Row and Column references I've been using to aid the logging. It may be difficult in
the beginning but it will soon become a 'piece of cake'.
We will begin with Texas Pick 3 winning numbers from 070109. There are two drawings. We will begin with
day drawing and then the night drawing.
The winning numbers are 018 and 472.

On Form 1, beginning at Row 15, add 0 at the bottom of column 3.
The G1 number is found by counting UP the column to the existing 0. The count is 10.
Mark off the initial 0 in column 3 and add 10 to the adjacent G1 column 4.
The G2 number is found by counting up the G2 column to the existing 10. The count is 1.
Mark off the initial 10 and add 1 to the adjacent G2 column.
Find and mark off the initial 1 in the G2 column 5.
----
On Form 1, beginning at Row 16, add 1 to the bottom of column 3.
The G1 number is found by counting up the column to the existing 1. The count is 10.
Mark off the initial 1 in column 3 and add 10 to the adjacent G1 column 4
The G2 number is found by counting up the G1 column to the existing 10. The count is 1.
Find and mark off the initial 10 and add 1 to the G2 column 5.
----
Beginning with Row 17, add number 8 to the bottom of column 3.
The G1 number is found by counting up the column to the existing 8. The count is 4.
Mark off the initial 8 and add 4 to the adjacent G1 column 4.
The G2 number is found by counting up the G1 column to the existing 4. the count is 7.
Mark off the initial 4 and add 7 to the G2 column 5.
----
Remember: An active cell is one that has NOT been marked off.
----
Beginning with Row 18, add number 4 to the bottom of column 3.
The G1 number is found by counting up the column to the existing 4. The count is 8.
Mark off the initial 4 and add 8 the the adjacent G1 column 4.
The G2 number is found by counting up the G1 column to the existing 8. The count is 4.
Mark off the initial 8 and add 4 to the G2 column 5.
----
Beginning with Row 19, add number 7 to column 3.
The G1 number is found by counting up the column to the existing 7. the count is 6.
Mark off the initial 7 and add 6 to the adjacent G1 column 4.
The G2 number is found by counting up the G1 column to the existing 6. The count is 6.
Mark off the initial 6 and add 6 to the G2 column 5.
----
Beginning with Row 20, add number 2 to column 3.
The G1 number is found by counting up the column to the existing 2. the count is 10.
Mark off the initial 2 and add 10 to the adjacent G1 column 4.
The G2 number is found by counting up the G1 column to the existing 10. The count is 4.
Mark off the initial 10 and add 4 to the adjacent G2 column 5.

At this juncture, the 10 active cells in Column 3 (#) are:
3
5
6
9
0
1
8
4

2
The 10 active cells in Column 4 (G1) are:
1
2
3
5
7
9
4
8

Inventories
The three inventories are updated by counting the marked and unmarked numbers in the 3 columns.
I use 4 short vertical down strokes with a horizontal slash the show the inventory totals in groups of 5.
At this point, you should have 16 total vertical marks in each of the three inventories. The only numbers having
more than 2 strokes at this point are 10 in G1 and 10 in G2.
----
Form 1 has now been updated to include 2 sets of lottery numbers.
I usually draw a line across Columns 3, 4 and 5 to indicate that all numbers above the line have
been processed.
----
Form 2 will be updated in next post.
If you have questions, don't hesitate.
(I doubled checked and I don't think I've made any typos, at least, I hope I haven't))
Thanks for your interest.
