Decades is a very Powerful strategy when it's implemented properly I use it along with Positional Digit Analysis and am able too get 9-10 numbers too Wheel into 4 combinations without a filter and 2 combinations with a filter only 1 filter is used if desired(Odd-Even groups) I use Advantage Plus for analysis of decades and Odd-Even groups and LottoMan for selecting my numbers by position.

The key too winning lottery games is not too take it so serioulsy with theories make it simple as possible,all the random probability and chaos theory stuff just makes things that much more difficult.Just look at the numbers not what causes them too appear,observe there movements study them become familiar with it.It's an aquired skilled just like Card Counting when I've hit numbers in the Daily games or Pick-5 I used good old-fashion number strategizing.

Thanks for your comments, RJOH. Good to know that you see the advantages of alpha-numeric substitution.Regarding my challenge. The winning sequence in TX C5 Friday was ACCCD. The winning combination was 01.20.26.28.36When I typed the data, I left out CCC45 in the P2.3.4 column.I replayed my original combinations and won $2!There was no jackpot winner, so, folks who got 4/5 won $508!!

I would like to time and measure what happens to each ball as it enters the box. Does ball #1 tend to hit the open box in the center, left or right? After that, does ball #1 hit ball #2 or ball #3?

Well, i guess this all means one needs to walk the truly randomness as it exists.Entropy will increase as time goes by. Next thing you know you are using Feynman's path integrals to predict all possible pasts to achieve the knowledge of the status entropy is currently in. Which would actually be pretty hard to analyse, let alone the time it would take to compute all the possible pasts.'He who knows the past, knows the future.', isn't that what they are saying

You are correct when you say the balls have no idea, But In part, I do believe that if the rotation of the tubes were presented, I would win more often. In New York, they tell you what the rotation is. Unfortunately in Florida they don't.In my opinion each tube has a history of obligations. Whether it's overdue numbers, or hot, or cold .....etc. When they change the positions, that's when it becomes frustrating.

In my opinion too much is being made out of the idea of bias in the ball system. I dont believe that any lottery system of this type has any bias in the system. The ball system is an excellent model for truely random numbers. It is true that certain numbers hit more frequently than others. This would be true of whatever you considered to be a pure random system. Any random system still has patterns that can be detected and used for prediction.

Hi, with regard to the UK 6/49 Lotto, analysis of draw results where the same machine and ball set has been used does throw up some interesting patterns. However, the people behind the UK Lotto do not announce which machine and set of balls are going to be used in the next draw, so any analysis is deemed slightly useless since there are something like 4 different machines and 12 different sets of balls for that specific game.
