Illinois little lotto, using gail howards systemsPrevious TopicNext Topic

Hello to all, new member who has been lurking for a while. I recently bought all of gail howards books and was feeling pretty confident because I've been consistantly guessing 3-5 numbers in my wheels and been correct on sum total analysis and groups out. I decided to "pull the trigger" and spend a little more with some strong numbers (Hot, flag formation, bottom with overall heavy hitter) and I got crapola! Most money spent with worst results, I used 1 power number wheels with each of my top 3 best numbers and just for the heck of it used  a 3power number wheel with my best numbers and the worst picks just to cover the spectrum. I KNOW I'm going to win a jackpot but tonight was very disappointing, made me think "rigged" looking over my notes for each number drawn and only number 4 (because no skips of 3 in last 5 games and neighbor #) was in my best number list. Groups out WAS 31-35 but no legs for any except 34 as long shot number. Anyway, possible way to rig, put a bb pellet in the numbers they don't want to hit. Not that I believe "they" do that but I will be purchasing my picks as close to the cut-off (9:15) as possible. Good luck to all and thanks for info you all provide, together many hands make light work.

If you track the game you will see everything Gail Howard says not to do show up in the drawings as something you should have done. 

There's a thread here in Pick 5, Illinois Little Lotto Jackpots 2010, I post in it when someone hits the jackpot.

If you want to search there's also a thread for 2009 and 2008.

Good luck.

I have had basically the same results with Gail Howard.  Not to berate poor old Gail.. but her stuff just doesnt work.  (Or maybe she is wealthy Gail from selling all her books and charts)..lol

For instance.. I tried her idea she calls "Skip Bias".  You list all the numbers for the last 10 games and how many times they have skipped (Missed).  Then.. if there are any skips missing from 1 to 5.. play all numbers that have those skips.

Well, I tracked that for about 60 days.. and never had one winner. 

As far as wheels go... I think they are a way to go to the poor house faster.  I know they can be a good tool...   but...

 Say I do a wheel and I key on 4 numbers.  (you almost have to key 4 numbers  in order to get the number of bets down to a reasonable number).  Well, if I knew four good numbers that I was sure would hit... I wouldn't need the wheel, right?  I'd just play those four numbers and pick my own 5th number, and be done with it.

So I think wheels are over rated.. but  that is just my humble opinion.

You might want to look at my post in Forum Pick 5 games - I did a post on Combos & Patterns found in the IL Little Lotto.  I have been keeping track of IL little Lotto for over 10 yrs now.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Luck & Best Wishes To You.

Hey butch, I see the file but where is the key to reading it? thanks for any help, out $80 bucks on my wheel tonight (ouch!) Thought for sure one or two of the numbers would have repeated from last night, no repeats last 3 draws. And 15 looked good for a flag formation...oh well who wants to win a measly 60-70 grand after taxes, let that puppy roll a couple times then come to mama!

Gail's System seems to work for me.  You guys just aren't doing it right.  Look up my posts with the word Experiment in them.  There are about 36.  All of them done with Gail Howard's System.  If you add up the losses and compare them against the wins, I think you'll see my point.

Here's what I look for when I do my Combos & Patterns.   I look for Combinations & Patterns that have hit more than once.  This was my reply to someone in TN who asked what the numbers & colors meant.  Hopefully it will shed some light in what I am trying to accomplish.  In short - improve your odds in winning.

Combination of numbers that have come in multiple times & put into groups (GRPS).  These groups make up approx 49% to the total drawings in the time frame listed.  Certain combinations come in more often then others.  I used different colors to separate the groups which are also numbered.  Unless you play the IL Little Lotto, these groups will probably have no interest to you being in TN.  All Jackpot games & pick 5 games have their own unique combinations & patterns that form within each game.  I look for these combinations & patterns & put them into groups.  This holds true for all big games drawn via mechanical means.

Here is an example.  In the Group (Grp) #19, we have 5 drawings that came in on the dates shown.  The combination that come most often are the numbers 4, 5, 13, 22, & 37.  Past history shows that combinations such as these have hit in the past & will more than likely hit again in the future.  If you play a Quick Pick your odds of getting 5 out of 5 in the IL Litttle Lotto is 1 in 575,757.  By giving you these 410 groups (which make up 49% of the total drawings in the time frame listed), I hope to give you better odds.  If you download the entire list. you will see that there were 6 sets of 5 of 5 hitting twice (or 12 drawings out of a total 2,338 drawings). Go back & look at the actual odds for hitting 5 of 5 just once - 1 in 575,757 drawings.  If you play smarter, you have a better edge of winning.

You can also view any of my post of Combos & Patterns.  They included NC Cash 5, GA Fantasy 5, OH Rolling Cash 5, FL Cash 5, Powerball, Mega Game, & others.

Each game has it own unique set of combos & patterns.

Hope this helps you.

You  can't blame  Gail Howards systems or say  the games are rigged if you don't win your just not using the information  correctly, I HAVE  her advantage plus  and new full wheel filter generator program.Her books  are  very helpful all  lottery tools  whether  it's  software,systems,books or strategies are nothing more than  TOOLS too  assist you in your pursuit of a jackpot hit whether its in the daily  games or lottery games and with all tools they  only work if the user is applying them  CORRECTLY.

Exactly.

In one of her earliest books she said don't play consecutive nnumbers.

LITTLE LOTTO PRIZE PAYOUTS FOR THURSDAY, JULY 29, 2010
 
WINNING NUMBERS: 01 - 02 - 22 - 23 - 24

That's not all that unique.

She meant:

1-2-3-4-5

4-5-6-7-8

13-14-15-16-17

If playing like this is your strategy, you're almost guaranteed to lose.

Luminus,

She mentioned playing three or more consecutive numbers as a no no.

Here's a little more information, circa 1991:

Howard, a former stoickbroker and trader in commodities futures, writes about handicapping lotteries from her Manhattan headquarters.......

howard left the brokerage business in 1983 to concentrate exculsively on lottey handicapping, and to publish her lottery newsletter. She used to play regularly herself and had a 12 month winning streak in 1984 and 1985, during which she won 72 lottery prizes.

But now, she says, her handucapping chores take up to 18 hours daily, and she rarely has time to buy a ticket.

So you tell me, if you're that good at winning from the lottery are you going to stop playing to pump out lottery information, or is the real money in pumping out the lottery information. Think about it.

lottery tech, not putting her down , just venting about that nights bad results. I have been using her charts and systems for about two weeks now and have won 1/2 as much as I've bet, way better than quick pics for me. I was upset that her software doesn't work with macs, total time waster doing manual charts. I have gotten 3 numbers in my wheels every day this week but when you are using a 19-22 number wheel it makes sense that you would have 3 out of 39 numbers in your picks. Whats ticking me off is that oddball, nothing going for it...ugly step-sister number!  Now for tonight, NO repeats in last 6 games when every other game repeat expected, +10 bias for high numbers in last 10 games so more low numbers expected, no real groups out bias, sum total, 3 below avg then two above, expect avg or slightly above . My quandry in picking tonights numbers, Are 1,2 or 3 numbers going to repeat? Should I do A 2 number power wheel with all 10 combinations of last draw OR should I use that flag pattern repeat with a 1-19 wheel because I expect more low numbers to be drawn? many more questions . When I figure it out is when I win.

And she's correct.  She doesn't say that they will never come out.  I don't know where that conception came from.  Here's a list of a bunch of Take-5 games, in which a triple consecutive number combo comes out only once.  If you want to take chances on consecutive numbers, that's your loss.

"WHEELTOWIN"

I don't use her regular  wheels like  the Wheel 5,6 Plus way back she had this Abbreviated  wheels  that came with her software but she got rid of them for some reason,her new full wheel filter program is the  only wheel  system I'll use.As for the Power Number wheels I tried that but  it's  really hard sometimes trying too pick 1,2,3 numbers as power numbers so I gave that up.For the best results try wheeling 18-24 numbers and applying enough filters too reduce your combo's too  a reasonable playing level.So any program that has  10 or  more  filters  is good and  using  gail howards number  analysis charts should provide  a player  with enough info too tackle the  game
