The one week test has yet to matk a win, but there were 2 two out of 3 box hits, and if I would have just played the top number of the evening list rather than the highest number with 3 unique digits, I would have won $80 tonight on the 766... lesson learned.

Permutations all add to the total number of potential wins (from a boxed perspective). The most frequently drawn number, including permutations as been drawn 118 times.... in almost 17,000 draws... not very promising at face value in the spreadsheet. Though you would have almost broke even if you knew ahead of time.<br />The "hottest" combo has a pair... 6-6-7, but that only has 2 more permutations, 676 and 766, so that would have led to a loss of near $1,000 over time... but you would not have...

So, Today I will start looking at the pick 3 with the whole combo rather than by individual columns.

Pick 3 is easy to start with.

1. Count the most frequent number to have appeared straight.

2. Count all of the permutations of the combo fetched from step one, which would be box hits of that straight number.

3. Try it out on 0.50/0.50 tickets for maybe a month.

Different number combo expected from the day and night histories.

I can probably hammer that out in under an hour. There are at most 5 additional permutations to cover when looking at a pick 3 straight number comprised of all unique digits.

This balloons to 119 additional permutations if looking at a pick 5 number, so that will happen later.

The difference between the most frequent combo and the next most frequent combo will determine how frequently the process must be run again.

Next step, write a python program to search the database for the most frequent combo when all permutations are summed. This will obviously take longer, and will auto scale between pick 3 files and pick 5 files.

The only thing new will be testing the viability of box play. I can even create new CSV files to check combo followers distribution... nothing in the code base so far has been truly abandoned.... [ More ]
