I was here when they were taught, there was one thing that always struck me as odd, that is the confusion when encoding numbers within other numbers. The heart of the vtrack system is essentially encoding each pick N digit AND it's mirror into a v number. 

The original encoding...

v1 = 0 and 5

v2 = 1 and 6

v3 = 2 and 7

v4 = 3 and 8

v5 = 4 and 9

When looking at something like v111, it leaves 8 combinations... 000, 005, 050, 055, 500, 505, 550 and 555.

I always found that to be a bit confusing.

My modest suggestion for a new encoding...

vA replaces v1

vB replaces v2

vC replaces v3

vD replaces v4

vE replaces v5

Now instead of v555, it would read vEEE, still representing the same set of numbers: 444, 449, 494, 499, 944, 949, 994 and 999.

To be fair, the whole concept lost me on "mirror states" and numbers that "travel", but if I were to revisit the initial encoding idea, it would be after changing the numbers to letters as outlined above. The other reason vtracks never resonated for me is that it involves playing multiple bets for the same draw, but it was as wrong at prediction as any other system... the entire concept of lottery as entertainment loses it's appeal when the budget would get high enough that one would NEED to win to cover the losses.

I lost ALL of my vtrack spreadsheets when the first laptop bit the dust... never replaced them.

Where I left off was replacing all of the complex encoding formulas with a much faster lookup table, that allowed applying the encoding rapidly across entire draw histories. There were patterns to be seen, but they were not accurate predictors... but what if they could help identify cyclic regimes and map out their changes? Hmmm...
