On the road to a P3 Str8 (Inspired by lottolaughs)

EXCELLENT!  Thank you so much, Ranman17!

You're welcome...

Right now I'm going to focus on the 317 & 312 that faell on the 20th & 21st in NY.  Because 2 & 7 are mirrors of each other it should work the same:

I just got an idea. Why wait till you have front and back to match? Just find a match no matter how long they are apart.

For example below from Florida 2012.

Sept. 1 eve-963

Now i kept looking for the next 9X3, and I didn't find one till oct. 1 mid-973

Now check this out. October 1 eve-407

Sure, why not.

Actually, it doesn't matter if the two sets of numbers in the boxes match because as long as the firat and last are the same numbers, the boxes will be identical. I was hoping that one combo would only match, but they all match.

Change the numbers around and you might find what you are looking for.  Instead of 963 & 973 try 963 & 937  and I think you will find that only a few numbers match.

Just an idea to shake things up...not sure it will work.

In NY we now have 317/312 & 430/400 to work with.

Ok, Ranman, I did try something and it worked, needs more testing, but I wanted to show you this first.

Florida,

jan. 1 eve-367

Jan. 2 eve-391

I entered both and got a match of 894.

And 894 hit str8 on the 10th and the 849 hit on the 18th...EXCELLENT!

I have another idea. Since the first number you punch in shows a mirror of the that number in the first spots of all the combos in the boxes, only play them when that number is in one of the combos from the night before. In other words, since at least one number shows from the previous draw a good portion of the time, and that number matches yours, there will be less combos to play.

Example,

Lets say i enter the combos 748. You know that all the numbers in the first positions will start with a 2.

Now we wait until a combo shows that has a 2 in it in any position, like 329, this is a trigger to play the combos in the boxes below hoping the 2 will repeat. of course the 3 or 9 or both could show instead, but it would cut down the cost quite a bit. In my short test, a good portion of the winning numbers had at least one of the numbers from the previous draw.

One example is this,

Dec. 5 mid-748

Dec. 8 eve-962

dec. 9 mid-472

Dec. 9 eve-205

So between december 5th and the 9th, instead of playing 18 combos everyday, we would only be playing when the combos showed that have the number 2 in them such as 962, and 472. That night on dec. 9 I would've played these combos because dec. 9 mid was 472, and 472 has a 2 in it and won straight with 205.

Thats worth testing some more.

Yes, also, I have a much quicker way of backtesting in general. Instead of punching every past winning number, it's easier to just run down the list of previous winners and only punch in the combos that have a mirror in the frist position making the backtesting much more efficient and saves a heck of a long time. I just did all of dec. 2012 in about 3 minutes.

I was looking for any winners that hitht the next consecutive draw, and in dec. i found two. Playng 18 combos twice a day costs $1,080 bucks, and if played online would win $1,800, would net 720 bucks. i have to do nov, oct, and sept of 2012. it should take me about 15 minutes.

OK, here is another version.  In this spreadsheet go to the second tab labeled "Alternate"  In this version only the first digits have to match and you can even take two numbers that have one matching digit any where in the number and take the matching digit the first number, i.e. you can take 872 and 489 and turn the 489 into 894 and run those numbers through the system and only play the numbers that are an exact match between both numbers.

I found another way to get more straights, but it will cost 108 dollars. 18X6 (playing all six ways of a combo. Of course a double will be less.

Sometimes, if one of the previous winning numbers is a mirror of the first number in the next winning number, you'll get a straight.

example, florida,

Jan. 18 eve-317

Jan. 19 mid-614

The 1 in 317 is a mirror of 6 in 614, so you'll have to play all six ways in a combo, 317-371-137-173-713-731=108 dollars.
