Original Blog Entry: Run time was less than 2 hours!

I ran the time test on the first 70 draws, therefore it needed to load a ton of draws to get to that point, but each pass reduced the offset by 7 draws, so as the pool got smaller, the code ran faster!

I have reviewed the overall file and it does contain 2,400 groups of 7 profiled draws... it only works when there is 7 or more remaining draws... that profiled all but 152 in draw history!

The entire 19,000 row result file will need to be gone through manually, but there is some interesting observations already... the level of repeatability is NOT going to be 100%, as a few groups had 0 NNN draws. These were few and far between, but they existed. I figured they would... I thought I would see more bad ones actually.

I went in looking to see about 70% repeatability of the core observation. Only went through the first few dozen and it already looks like closer to the 80%-90% range. And, there are still segments of 7 where multiple NNN draws have happened... looking to see if multiples are the indicator of a bust segment with 0...

The code ran flawlessly, and in much less time than guessed. Pick 3 mid day with almost 50% less draws should run in an hour or less... same with the pick 5 games. But first this file needs to be studied for a few days to get a feel for the data and it's peculiarities.

This was a few weeks of planning and preparing to run this file, so that is a win!

Now, do I need to repeat this to see if there is a better day of the week to start? Probably not right now anyway... the idea is to run the last 150 draws, which will NOT have anything to classify, and just go off of that data for a week.... [ More ]
