I made an initial pass at an indexing method by first finding the games each lottery number occurred in, then finding the delta/difference between them. I'm not seeing any patterns that would be useful with any certainty. Even sums of the delta don't pan out.So, as I thought, indexing as proposed in earlier posts does'nt really work. Maybe I'll try the indexing method to occurrences and see if there is any patternes there.1 - -4 - -5 - -3 - -7 - -1 - -1 - -10 - -3 - -8 - -2 - -3 - -3 - -1 - -30... [ More ]

I had posted the thread link in an attempt to avoid redundancy, but you came up with some interesting responses. JKING, I'm assuming the numbers you posted are from a 6/49 lottery? In another forum, the delta method was proposed, and a member came up with the number of possibilities of each delta in that draw. A delta of 5 had 44 possibilities in that draw, and a delta of 40 would give you over 700,000 possibilities (I'm doing this from memory rather than going back and looking at the post). Any...

but in the end it's all random. Human beings go through some awful acrobatics trying to generate random numbers. It's not entirely clear they're able to succeed with the best of equipment. I don't know much about the pick 3/4 numbers, but 5s, 6s and 7 number draws don't give the appearance of being random. Not to suggest they aren't honest attempts. Not even to suggest that they're predictable with our current level of knowledge, but all those repeats, hot numbers, strange combinations seem... [ More ]

Since I've included the routine in my program, I can check MegaMillions (another lottery that I also track) for similar trends or patterns.RJOh

johnph77,As I stated in the older thread, I look for patterns. I started to add an index code to winning numbers in my Ohio649 file. The index code assigns a character or letter for the first previous draw that contained one or the winning numbers (A=one draw back,B=two draw back,G=seven draws back, Z=26 draws back and etc,). The last eight drawings of Ohio649P 03/09/05 - 01 07 10 11 24 30 - ADFILd 03/05/05 - 07 09 26 27 34 45 - ABBCCG 03/02/05 - 02 13 18 26 35 41 - DEIKKT 02

Thanks johnph77.An excellent link. I think the indexing as suggested won't fly as suggested. However, a delta and summary method to indexing might . A couple more things to do on my end. But, this one is on the list of to do's.

I got a tendency to go for what's due. The trend can stop any time. But I mix hot and cold numbers.

I think you can have limited sucess with either method - but in the end it's all random.

Yeah after playing Quinto for what was due it only turned out that my money was due to the state.

i kinda go with what's due. i look at the previous draws, and determine if i'll play my numbers or not.

I didn't vote because you didn't include both . I like some of the others that have already responded, play both! Right now I'm playing the trend for each state that I track, but I also keep any eye open for something that is way over due. That is usually pures or doubles or 2-digit repeat. I keep charts on the number of skips between certain dvents and I look to see if the current situation is over the midway point in the chart.For instance. Here is the chart for Texas' 2-digit repeats.... [ More ]

Depending on the particular game, I follow any prevailing trend for as long as I think it can reasonably run or until it does indeed end. Trends are basically short-run phenomena which are hard to account for.Overall and in the long run, I try to back up my bets with what's due because there seems to be a more mathematical rationale for their occurence even though that might sometimes take quite a while to be born out.aye

The Trend vs What's Due

JKING — Thu, 03 Mar 2005 13:48:44 GMT

We've all seen it-Bonus numbers that keep having large values for way more draws than thier supposed to.More odd numbers than even numbers in draws for extended periods of time.....So which way do you bet? With the trend of what's been going on, or by what should be due to come up
