Finally done updating the databases for PA pick 3 and pick 4 (not updated since 4/30/2017).

Made the sheets as described, took it to the next level by adding 2 more follower counts based on the last draw, the one before that, and the one before that... 3 data sets pointing to the same event from the same history. While still in the first few days of watching the draws (read that as paper play), PA mid day pick 4 was 5343, my sheet indicated 5343... oh well, wasn't playing for real anyway yet, but that would have been $2,500 on a .50 bet. Seriously, 2 draws into watching the "system" and there is a "hit" (don't like to count them as hits if I did not play them, but it is what it is).

Finished the pick 3 sheets 10 minutes ago... will be watching them also.

Sometimes the systems I come up with are just too difficult to accurately back test, this is one such system... so now I must wait and see how long it takes to get another "win" so I have an idea of the gap before deciding to play around with actual tickets. took literally decades for me to figure out how to do what I had envisioned with a spreadsheet, took 20 minutes to convert from the pick 4 to the pick 3, will be similarly quick for eventual conversion to the pick 5 (got to get the columns right in all the counting formulae.) when I finally finish adding the missing draws to that DB.

Since I like to have a dumb name for each system, I dub this one "Triangulation by consensus", and though I may not yet know how to interpret what I am looking at, I have already begun the process of recording the picks vs results for gathering error data. Hopefully can figure out how to get an error correction that makes sense... last system left a lot to be desired in that department, even when squaring the errors and dividing by 2 to eliminate negatives.
