<br />I stand by my original belief, the pick 3 is not so much a game of 1 in 1,000 rather it is 3 consecutive games of 1 in 10.

Original Blog Entry: Why I am still hooked on the neutrals...

While it is not a hit machine, it is the results from back testing that make the case for the neutrals at least being a viable hypothesis...

In both the PA pick 3 day and evening draws, the percentages were consistent, and these games are drawn differently, mid is a PRNG and evening is ball machines. Both histories were comprised of 25% all neutral draws, the next largest category were those draws containing 2 neutrals, and the next those containing one neutral. In fact, both histories were very skimpy on HHH or CCC draws... proving their identification as outliers. This hypothesis held for the pick 5 as well. The main difference being that there is an 85% chance of seeing at least 1 all neutral draw in each 7 draw window of the pick 3, and a 52% chance of seeing at least 1 all neutral draw in each 7 draw window of the pick 5. By interpolation, that is a 65% chance of the same thing happening in Pick 4 draws. It also holds for the Cash 4 Life, but I am still figuring out the back test script to see hard data.

I have always called this Phase 1 because there is more needed. Trying to look at the resultant data output and pick one neutral per column has proven to introduce too much bias on my part in selection of a final combo, so I introduced an all neutral QP generator that ONLY picks from neutral numbers in each column.

Even if the combos are reduced from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in about 350, that is still a great deal to whittle away at making the final playable combo... and that is for an 85% chance of one combo being drawn from 350, not 100% that the one I pick will be drawn.

The straight shooter system was always going to be the lonely path fraught with more disappointment than success, but I chose it anyway.

I need to make a pick 3 selection for tomorrow, and have 3 weeks of house money left to catch a hit with that QP generator. Then I must choose to stay in on my own money again, or drop out until a better Phase 2 presents itself.

I have run with V-tracs back in the day...

I have run with mirrors...

I have run with workouts...

I have run with angles and line lengths on a grid...

I have run with followers...

I have back tested my way to giving up on just about every method...

Now I run with pure distribution frequency.

AND again I am running out of ideas.... [ More ]
