I've been silent for a while working away in the Shop making and modifying "Sniper" Tools.

I currently have 2 Models that I am Testing. 

1. Pick 3 Sniper Model 2
2. Pick 4 Sniper Model 1

The First question is  How am I going to Test then?  Alone? with Others?  I have been testing them alone.  I am also enlisting some help.  Guesswork has been a big help in getting to this point and hopefully will be one my Other Testers.  I have not decided on the Actual Testing Procedure yet.  The current Pick 3 and 4 Models are all very large files that also rely on Winsum's Files for Links.  That makes for some huge files and slow computing on the Pick 4 File in particular.  File sizes are large because the current models Create a lot of Data from the active formulas.  I am switching now to a File that just does the Filter matches without the background data and statistically driven selection process.  The Slimmed down version will be supplemented with a Text File containing the background Data and Statistics.  Pick 4 Model 2, will be the first available.

The Second question is Who are the others?  What background(s) would make for the Best.  Hard to know at this Point. 

Previous Blog entries and a few of my posts have broadly described the evolving processes for the 539 and Pick 3 Games. 

The Pick 4 Model description is also applicable to Pick 3.  The List Below contains Single Filters (1 Filter match only)1-8, Double Filters (2 Filter matches) 9-11 and Triple Filters (3 filter matches) 12-13.  The current focus is on Filter 13.  The Goal is a correct Selection of the St8 Block, Type and Repeat (TR) and Structure for the Draw.  The Supporting Data includes Statistics and Graphs of Same over anywhere from 50 to 1000 Games. (50 used because it fits the Window only). 

Back to the Question of Background for Testers.  It is quite possible that a strong background in Excel might be not be preferable.  Digging into the File (If unlocked) is not necessary from my point of view.  Evaluating the Organization and Steps would be useful (it's not perfect).  In the End Success could be based on one's ability look at the Graphs and Make a Selection based solely on feelings or with your own set of If/Thens.

So this is a preliminary call out to those that are interested.  The System can run any State Game that is listed on the Daily Games Tab on LP.  I do not want to overload myself so I am going to set the Number of Testers at 5 each running a single State.  Guesswork has the first spot so I will accept 4 more.  Initially, I will send you the Graphs and Data for your review.  I will also include a small file that you can use to Log your Selections or you can just tell me by email what your Selection are for the Filter Values and I will send you the Combinations.  When the Slimmed down version is complete, I will send that file to you so that you can produce your own sets.  The file will be locked with a few things hidden; but, after i get t know you and you are excel savvy I will unlock it for you.

Let me know by PM if you are interested
