More and more people are reporting good results with the Deflate the Predictors method.  Seems that just about everyone that has told me about using it has a special "spin" that they apply!  But some are asking how many numbers do you have to play.  Well, I normally play just Tier 5 (smallest group), but some are playing Tier 3 only with good success.  Here are the Tiers for today (8/26/05):

Tier 5 (16 numbers)
192,097,142,239,725,623,401,281,514,267,311,310,976,235,024,682

Tier 4 (23 numbers)
015,135,296,348,453,698,795,803,690,289,512,734,047,958,156,611,167,789,081,010,365,694,201

Tier 3 (35 numbers)
409,461,502,718,784,203,481,603,714,825,170,403,378,489,742,060,911,723,668,477,188,770,616,

391,419,260,046,367,280,186,270,577,216,884,556

I don't include triples.

As a reminder, the "Tiers" in this case show how many predictors predicted that number.  So, 192 was predicted at least once by FIVE predictors for today.

Good Luck.  Try this...I think you will like it!
