Wednesday PB numbers had 30 and 32, in posititions 2 and 3 (1-30-32-37-50 +19)... my ticket had 30 and 32, in positions 3 and 4 (4-16-30-32-44 +24).
naturally, that pays nothing... I wonder if I should apply this system to the PA Cash5, where matching 2 wins your $1 back?
Base Number, a simple concept...
Rather than starting with the last draw or from nothing to track lottery results, start with a "base" number that has some statistical significance... such as the MODE or the MEDIAN... Each draw, measure the difference from the results to this base number and seek patterns and trends in the (now negative nad positive) delta data...
I think that with my error correction mask, I made this concept harder in my own sheets than it needs to be... I might have to get back to the basics.... no hindsight tampering with the data... that's where 99% of all errors come from... at least in my attempts.
base numbers are easy to backtest in excel... go positionally for all games, including pick3/4 types.
Paper play and backtesting are free, I will have at it once again... back when I kept things simpler is when I got my only 100.00 win on PB...
Just finished updating my old pb sheets and graphs, some as old as 6/2/04... cutting what was duplicated elsewhere and making sure the numbers are right.
boooooorrrrriiiinnnngggggg......
results less than stellar for the one pick
-4, -2, -4, +5, -3 and a whopping -27 for PB...
3 of my "furbabies" are internet celebrities! THey are helping to advertise for a water bottle that are good for dogs that would otherwise get sloppy faces from a dish... They are Shih-Tzu, 100% purebred AKC bundles of fun!
introducing Pom-Pom, Pebbles and Teddy! (and my kitchen wall...)
I might try to make up a profiling only sheet for the powerball... containing nothing but gross filter data... even/odd, decades, and a few others. perhaps a profile combined with the other pick from stats could help steer things in a better direction...
I was 2 off for the first 2 numbers ,the rest was a disaster (off by 12 to 19 in each position!)
what is most disappointing is that I am no closer now to predicting the powerball numbers than I was when I first started playing the powerball... I am still left with more questions than answers...
Maybe it's time to go back to a clean sheet... start by establishing general guidelines...
who knows...
I have not yet visualized anything, but as an added experiment, I took my visual aid page and plugged in the numbers generated by my other system...
see how it goes wednesday ;-)
First "reception Session" and no numbers, but I am quite mellow ;-)
I am not surprised, as I only just started... I need to experiment with times et al before fine tuning. I guess the best thing for now is to establish a cyclical routine... that would make sense... I concentrated on transmission, and 'let go' for reception, maybe a little concentration is required.
The visual aid is fun, I always get excited when I see the winner is from PA, too bad I was the one who put that text in... for tomorrow, as it stands I have just one pick, the stat pick... that's cool... soonr or later the other pick will show up. rome wasn't built in a day. After awhile of staring at the balls on the page, they start to move around, almost like they are smoke-filled... I wonder if one day the smoke will clear... is that what it will be like or will the reception be far more subtle?
anyone else having any experiences with the visualization concept?
Here's something interesting... an easy experiment you can try to access your own memories...
1. Think of something you knew the answer to a long time ago but can't for the life of you recall now...
2. internally ask yourself the detailed question 3 times
3. forget about it.
every time I tried this, within an hour or 2 the answer just popped into my mind. I don't know why this works, but for me it does... I wonder if somehow THIS could be incorporated. I realize that I was only querying things I once knew, but it was cool to have it work... it's something I learned from my mother about 10 years ago when trying to remember the name of some kid who I went to 2nd grade with... sure enough 1 hour later the name just popped into my head... key I am told is to subsequently forget the question... and for some reason it must be 3 times you ask.
I have also read something about memorization... if you write something down 3 times it sticks with you in short-term memory longer... That was from an old Scientific American article (early 80's). What's with the number 3? it seems to have a common thread in tweaking the subconscious memory banks... They say astral projection is just tapping into the collective subconscious.. could this be a key to repeatable reception? so many questions so few answers.. now THIS is what experimenting is all about... isn't science cool?
As any interested hack scientist would, I plan on trying out the concept of transmitting and recieving numbers as described by kwhilborn... I have made up a cool visual aid, a local copy of the powerball results page with blank white and red balls for the next draw (yet to happen).
If I can manage to attain an alpha state (whatever that is) and 'see' the numbers pop into the screen (if it's even that obvious, somehow I doubt it), AND write down what I thought I saw, then record it in excel and play it for the next draw... then it will be interesting to compare it to my other single pick.
I do like to keep an open mind when new ideas are presented (unlike some others), but I also retain my skeptical side... kwhilborn is offering free advice, not selling anyting, and apparently others have seen improvements also... so it would be foolish to ignore this new(?) approach.
The big thing I have concern about is the "alpha" auto-hypnosis... I have seen shows where a hypnotist tried to hypnotize everyone, he got about 2/3 of 'em... not me... I don't like being out of control (that's one reason I never did drugs and generally have had about 2 6-packs of my favorite beer a year (year!) ) so this most likely will be the downfall of my own experiment. But I will go into it open to new ideas... worst that could happen is I stare at the screen and see zip... then I only have my other line to play... time will tell.
Inspired by dragon's blog log, I will keep detailed records and track the results versus the draws... just like I always do with any system.
I am trying to determine the proper protocol for the test... the way I see it, I already check the pb homepage the day after every draw... that must be the transmission point because it is a routine already established. reception will be the new thing to implement. I will have to concentrate more on the winning numbers i suppose.
This will also be the first week I skip the match6... I am bored with that already. I wrote to the PA lottery before M6 was announced and suggested they replace the stupid6 with MUSL's Hot Lotto... that is the ONLY letter I had mailed them that they never responded to, and I sent it 3 seperate times.... boneheads.
PB fans... the number 35 as powerball has now appeared 10 times under the new matrix (190 drawings). it used to be a fairly reliable precursor to the 20 being drawn, but the 20 went cold... 17 is still the most popular number overall with 32 white ball appearances and 4 times as the powerball.
I grow bored with the match6, time to drop it for awhile.
I will instead add another pick to the powerball... this time I will run through KWHILBORN's transmission/reception across time method... with some visual aids and an excel sheet to track progress.
Einstein's theories sort of put into practice, time as a relative concept rather than the fixed linear relentless march we're used to. I will start transmission tomorrow with the results from tonight's Powerball. can't do any worse than my current "predictions" ;-)
Having played the 3 derivatives of my system, I have decided to leave out the average, since the pick is a weighted average anyway, why confuse things with a raw average?
I am keeping FORECAST for now because that pick was closer than without it... won $9 by having the right PB (with the power play of 3)
BTW, 27 finally drawn in PA match6, now all the numbers are out, 33 still red hot... I dropped the raw average from my Match6 picker too. See how friday and saturday go... back to one pick again ;-)
Errors in prediction for powerball are actually getting worse... I should try removing the average... see what it does to the pick... I will play 2 tix this wednesday, one as it is now and one without the long/short term averages. I have a reason for using mode and median, not average... and forecast is still a wildcard... maybe I should generate 3 picks... it's only $6 ;-)
I can't believe I am no further along with powerball picks than I was last april... disappointing.
Can the seed of a drawing be reverse solved for a computer generated game?
PA uses Computer RNG methods for it's daytime pick3/4....
I need to create a program that will store the result of a call to RANDOMIZE (TIMER) to a variable, write it to a file, and then pick a 3 and 4 digit number with it... do this over a 10 minute window (1:30 pm est to 1:40 pm est), HOPE that it captures the same seed used by the PA games, and then create a sed chart to see when they are drawing.
If
it works just once a month I can pick up my recently abandoned "uber wheel" system for the powerball... (44 tickets per draw + power play... wednesday game only... $88 per week) . I currently play only one ticket per draw (both wed. and sat.)
I am also working (back burner) on a small trapping matrix for the powerball... 5 tickets, one PB in each decade) but that's purely on paper.... would be cool if I could crack the daytime draw to fund the powerball hunt... ;-)
58 hours last week...
from monday to wednesday of this week I already racked up 33 hours... 2 (possibly 3) days to go.
Looks like I will finally get to replace my aging guitar this year... woohoo!!!
P.S. darn MUSL... I was 1 number away from $7 (actually $35 with powerplay) grr....
