While the dividing of a set of numbers in statistics is known as quantiles, for example, dividing into 100 quantiles is the same as a percentile, we are using the special case of a quartile, as our observed draw frequency list will be divided into 4 parts, giving 3 results.

The first quartile exists at the 25% mark.

The second quartile, also known as the median, exists at the 50% mark.

The third quartile sits at the 75% mark.

This data is not looking at drawn numbers, only the frequencies of those numbers (how many times were they drawn in the selected date range). These should be easy to calculate, as they are built into the available statistics functions in the Pandas library.

Of course due diligence will require me to enter the frequency data into R Studio to compare, ensuring accurate data. Once we can trust the results, the hope is to incorporate all of it together.

Remember, any time you choose to eliminate data, you are probably throwing out the winning combo, that is just the nature of these games.

The odds of winning are still 1:1000, but you have to start somewhere.

When eliminating hot and cold, for example, in an output per column of the neutral numbers might look like 7N, 7N, 6N. This means that you can calculate the combos by multiplying these numbers. So 7x7x6 = 294.

The assertion (based on observation) so far is that within 7 draws of the calculated data, from one to four combos will come from this reduced set. NNN is the only regular pattern to be seen.

Further reduction may be had by either eliminating the high and low frequency neutrals... that could look like 5x5x4=100 combos, but that may eliminate the winning combo. Part of the observation has been that of the NNN combos observed, they tend to sit between the first and third quartiles... it is "filling in" from the middle!

If we could use this info to eliminate 70% to 90% of the combos, a paper play test might be in order. And we may as well post that here so anyone watching can get an idea of how systems are tested BEFORE making any actual bets. I will start posting data sets so we can follow along as soon as I have the quartiles set up in the code, so most likely tomorrow.
