No win yet. This cycle it was the highest all neutral line used. Since each cycle needs to complete before picking another phase 2 plan, this rides for 2 more weeks. Next cycle will see a use of the ceiling, or the highest neutral in each column, regardless of if they line up.

May run 2 weeks of a cycle to finish the year using the floor of the Neutrals (lowest).

Starting January 1 will be the full year plan, the 10 week cycle starting with 4 weeks of Match 6. Whichever data interpretation scheme does the best on Pick 3 will be chosen for the Match 6.

Going into 2026 not counting on a hit for the rest of this year... the Cycle play and the $14/week budget is going well.

I refreshed my entire set of game histories so I know there are zero transcription errors on my part... well except for bonus ball games, but I feel confident that tomorrow's coding marathon will result in solving that issue and also see the implementation of the update script, so I will save an hour a week updating draw histories!

I had some good research into potential issues with permissions in both windows and android. These are being considered and the path forward with developing a GUI that will be able to run the app on both windows and Android resulted in a final design decision to develop with Python's Kivy framework from the start. Looks like I have a ton of documentation to read over before that gets started.

Making one function provide the classification data is going well also. Passing the game variables along with the function call does the trick. This way, when a game is chosen in the game function, it passes the correct csv file, the correct sample size, the expectancy and the proper loop variables for display for each game. The bonus ball games have a call for a second run of the function with their particular settings, and their output will be dynamic as well, appearing beside the white ball data as if it was all processed at once.

Then I will have to use it for awhile to see where improvements and upgrades will fit into the development cycle.

2026 is looking like an interesting year for this hobby...... [ More ]
