I am not completely sure as I don't know much about statistics and mathematics, but according to what little I know about it, it just came to me that filtering pick 3 numbers in my particular way, should produce results which should be no better or just a very little better (Maybe from 1 to 10 % better) than by using random picks or quick picks.

The above should be mathematically true if playing with the state lotteries using filters for straight with my filtering method.

The odds of winning should be even worse if playing boxed (Any Order) unless maybe if doubles are also played then maybe the odds might be somewhat better and about the same as with playing straights..

There are 1000 straight pick 3 numbers, by the time that they are filtered down to 500 the odds of winning even with filters in my way should be very close to 50% or about the same as with random quick-picks.

By the time that the numbers have been filtered down to 250 straights the odds of winning even with my filtering method should be about 25% or same as with quick-picks.

If filtering the 220 boxed numbers by the time that they are filtered down to 110 maybe the odds of winning even with my method should be about 50% and when reduced to 55 numbers the odds of winning maybe should be about 25% or the same as with quick-picks.

Mathematicians, MikeK and others seem to be right.

By all rights, with my filtering method, it should only be possible to make a more or less regular profit playing online at odds that are much better than with the state lotteries (900 to 1).

Yet in practice there is a (Very Small) chance that the mathematical odds can be beat and that a person might also make a profit with the state lotteries.

The problem is that filtering successes don't "Compound", but failures do.

I was somewhat aware of these things before, but not as much as I am right now.

A problem is that while random more often likes change better, sometimes, but often enough is much stronger towards staying the same and as filters' failures compound or add up to each other, this totally ruins the chances of winning often enough to make a regular profit with state lotteries, it might perhaps still be possible, but chances are very small.

All of the above is taking into account that the lottery draws and their resulting winning numbers are truly random, if they are not, then those calculations might be offset or wrong.

But newer and maybe better filtering techniques might produce better results.

But I might no longer post newer filters' tutorials, I have my reasons for this, sad as it is.

That is all, good luck.

Fernando.
