YES..that also is an example of what i'm talking about...that draw skipped 3 decades 0s, 30s,50s..

one could have gueesed a skip in 50 ok most of time but the skips in 0s, 10s, 20s,30s are harder to guess...

also patterns like this: 121100 (shuffle around the 2111 numbers) draw out 50% of time...that means its generally good idea to skip 2 decades when making picks...its easier and more beneficial to make eliminations than to make picks (guessing a number is 1/55 or 1/56 but guessing a dec... [ More ]

benmas,

You have a very good point. I dabbled with that strategy on and off. Many times, actually about half the time the first position number will be a teen or even a number in the 20's. And many times the last number will be in the 40's (not sure of the percentage). Of course, like you say, it could be another decade missing in a draw. But, like picking numbers, it's pretty hard to guess which decade is going to skip in a particular draw.

I just took a look at my excel file where I have... [ More ]

my idea here is to reduce the matrix by eliminating at least one tenths category (i call them 0s, 10s 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s), ...100% of the time it will skip one tens category, 85% of the time it will skip at least two tens category, about 50% it will skip excatly two tens categories, 35% of the time it will skip three tens categories or more (like last two pb drawings although skipping three is somewhat rare)...look at past results and my % will be confirmed...if you make the right skip in tens c...

Interesting you should notice that. I rate the numbers 1-9 as singles; 10-19 as teens; 20-29 as 20's; as so on. I have an excel file that shows how many times each number played in each position since Jan 2005. This tells me that the singles play the most often in the 1st position. No surprise there. Teens play most often in the 2nd position. 20's play most often in the 3rd, 40's most often in the 4th, and 50's in the 5th. Of course, this is not cut in granite. Different decades play in differen... [ More ]

I enjoy taking part in Maddogg challenges...i have learned from participating...i have notices a little something however with the way many people make their numbers selections and i like to discuss it here...this is not to say i have a better way cause i dont...these are games with very low odds of winning anything significant...just my 2 cents, i think this may improve our chances of getting more hits..give your opinions if you like, we can all learn from sharing ideas....

here's what... [ More ]
