Gap?

FROM PREVIOUS POSTType of gaps: Gaps between numbers within each combinations range of gaps =1 to 43, 50% of them = 7,1,5,2,9,10 Gaps between drawings that numbers were drawn range = 1 to 53 drawings, 50% of them = 6,7,3,1,4,9In both cases the majority of the numbers were 10 or lower but only covered half the numbers in the combinations which leads me to think that using such a parameter might increase your chances of matching 3 of the numbers but not matching all 5.

we;reallwinners,Actually I don't do any better than the average lottery players, but I did get lucky once and matched 5of6 in the State lottery which is not great for the number of years I've been playing. Testing and quantizing the effects of different parameters on the numbers drawn is part of the fun of playing lotteries for me and it helps me develop my strategy for picking combinations to play. I prefer to pick my own numbers although I have no proof that my numbers are any better than QP... [ More ]

thanx for all the suggestions......I'm from Michigan.I am using Gail Howards software, and it has a chart for the gaps but I don't see where she suggests how to use this chart. It seems that there might be a way to guess how close the next drawing numbers would be to one another.

Good point RJOh. I don't know what allwinners had in mind, but I think both approaches have merit.

Gap should be defined so everyone is on the same page. For some, gap is the difference between adjacent numbers in a combination that has been sorted and for others, gap is the difference between drawings that a numbers has been drawn (referred to by some as skip and hits).RJOh

I agree more with Jag331 than with Jake649, I would not have myself said Extremely usefull , but from what little I have so far studied them, I say that they can be usefull or as usefull as anything else can be for the lottery if used just right.I know enough about range gaps to say that they are one of the big keys to winning.I also know of many different kinds of gaps there are so many different kinds of them, I study them a little at a time on and off, to me, filters are almost legion and ra...

I've gotta throw in my two cents. Gaps are extremely useful in predicting the next draw. You're going to get a whole range of opinions here at the LP, just got to decide what works for you.

I am not sure of the range of suggestions you are willing to entertain so i will take a chance and give you my suggestion.Do not use gaps to select lottery numbers. There is no relationship between one draw and the next.Good luck,Jake

I tried that and abandoned it for the time being, might go back to checking that again later, there are several possible ways of looking at and using the gaps, they are interesting to study, but I didn't spend enough time on them yet. Also gaps is a very general term, there is more than one kind of gap.I can't talk about gaps, because that is one of my private lottery studies.As to how good gaps might be for filterimg and or getting the winning number, I don't know yet, I need to study them much...
