Tiggs95: You and he have been paying for memberships a long time. Which of these forums have learned the most from? You should be getting close to finishing your post-docs by now.

Thanks Gary. I hadn't thought of searching the posts backward in a systematic way until you mentioned it. I can see it will be more productive than waiting for new posts. In a sense there's a similarity between doing that and spending my energy on lottery archives instead of lottery draws in the future.

The dividing line between examination motivated by attempts to superimpose expectations over outcomes and unbiased examination in an attempt at better understanding of nature is a fine one, bu... [ More ]

Hello from a 49/06 lottery lottery, who can help me

In a wheel from 03 to 47 or 45 numbers are closing 4

So 45se 4SE 6, this wheel can not pass the 1500 betting

It tends to have warranty 100% because of the 03 to 45 in a game of 49/06

Because of the court and just need to 01,02, NUMC are going to be the third position

And not 48 49, fourth then we can start to take four cate 4 numbers

With 100% guarantee is good after seeing the other two numbers to close the game itself to 49

Jimmie. When people think about anything besides baseball, television, politics, romance, the job, the boss and the rent they are stretching their minds outside the stencil. If they have to be bribed to do it by a dream of winning the lottery there's no harm in it and a lot of good might come into their lives directly as a result of learning what they learned while hoping it would help them win the lottery.

I don't know, but I believe the people who post on these forums use it for a hobby. I... [ More ]

........believe their short term successes are the result of skill, rather than being in the right place at the right time, so to speak.

Being in the right place at the right time is a skill.

Your wisdom is a tough sell here.

The hardest nuts to crack are those who basically believe in the long term random expectations of lotteries, but still believe their short term successes are the result of skill, rather than being in the right place at the right time, so to speak.

The lottery is truly random. There is no guaranteed way to beat the lottery. TRUE

It's all luck. THAT'S A BIG JUMP FROM There is no guaranteed way to beat the lottery

BETWEEN THE TWO SHOULD BE but you may be able to improve your odds of beating it.

At least among some players there is that belief. Some say it's as simple as buying more tickets and others say there are commonalities among a big enough group of past winning combinations that if a regular player pick combinations with thos... [ More ]

Thank you Josephus for offering an interesting observation to the math forum.

There are a some very good people here offering varying opinions and interesting aspects to 'exploratory' math. As you've already noted, dissecting numbers is not the national past time. LOL

I visit to sort out some brain teaser, or take a break from tossing a kong, or get the brain clicking in some direction. Although there are not a lot of posts, most of those that are here are worth searching.

Hi rundown. I bought a membership before I realized how few posts the Math forum gets. The Lottery systems forum, the Pick 5 and Pick 6 forums and Jackpot forum have a few more. But until my membership runs out I hope you'll allow a few posts here even if you don't agree with them.

Hi Gary. Thanks for the comments.

I almost never buy lottery tickets. I'm not motivated by the prospect of winning a lottery. Lottery histories and lottery archives provide me with source data for something else I'm interested in. I use it all.

I disagree with you Josephus.

Backtesting is a good indicator of predicting likelihood. (Predicting likelihood is what backtests are. In probability, LIKELIHOOD is the prediction of pasts events).

That said, the problem is 1) working with mixed data, and 2) the data you didn't generate that is a part of the whole.

Why would you even consider using data from IL 6/5? linear game with MegaMillions 5/56, plus megaball, which is a dual matrix game?

In any case, your choice, so what ha... [ More ]

It's in your heart that you will find the energy needed to transform its

transporting to the lottery, within the results is that the solution! is the study of probability, estocatiscas, positions, endings, digits, but all tend to remember the following only if you can even provide up to 70%

That would be important if the test had been about statistical porobabilities.

The present MegaMillions matrix has only existed since 06/24/2005 so any frequency percent before then wouldn't apply to the latest drawings.

Hi Pumpi and Greenfox. Pumpi I think you have overlooked some of the threads on the Math, Lottery Systems, Pick 5, Jackpot and Pick 3 forums. Posters are trying everything you mentioned and a lot you didn't.

Greenfox gave a good summary of some of the problems we all bump into. But he didn't mention the problem of testing. If we were trying to predict a draw that happened in 1995 or 2007 we would all be rich. Back testing isn't a good indicator of what is worth following and what isn't. For e... [ More ]

about the human Chromosome, good analogy it made me think...to an alien looking at humans he/she/it will think we act differently but if he saw us internally like the brain and dna he will know what governs those random actions that we make every day...

same is with the lottery....

Evening pumpi,

Just read your article here and wanted to comment real quick. This is possibly what i have been working on for years now. The part that i put on here about the square of a number is only a part of what i have been working on. Personally i know that it can be figured out and won. Thats all lottery games. They all work the same because they are all numbers. What i have been using has mathematics, probability, what has happened, pretty much everything short of quantum physics. Eve... [ More ]

i ve heard before that there is a particular statistic or probability theory that can be applied to the lottery by some mathematician..But guess what? is only 1, they always use 1...Probability has lots of theories, statistics too, calculus too...why not use all the probability theories, calculus theories and statistic theories and applied them to the lottery like with excel or another program and see what happens...nobody has thought of this...

also there are lots of Probability, Statistics,... [ More ]
