Dr san: Thanks for the reply. The opinion you've provided is one shared by

many LP members. However, it's only one of the many diametrically opposing

opinions shared by LP members. LP is a reservoir of experience, experimenting

by members from widely varied backgrounds, observations, motives and world views.

The fact hundreds of people of generally equal intelligence, education,

experience and common sense hold diametrically opposing views on the subject of

lotteries should pro... [ More ]

Joseplus Hello, I agree with bobby623, it is impossible to predict with a super computer,

This is because in lottery is only possible to predict with confidence to 70% to 80% in a game example

From 49 / 6 can only provide four to five numbers, the rest is random. Can a pick3

Provide pairs the last digit is random, a super computer can help predict until this!

That is, it can help up to 80%, even here, one can use the law pareto where everything is 80/20

The random factor may be de... [ More ]

RJOH: Link, or do I need to just search for the thread title

RJOH and RickG don't post a lot about what they're doing, but they stay at the top of the Top Predictors list.

I once was posting everything I'm doing in a thread that ran over 40 pages until I was told by other members that I was starting to repeat myself and it was too troublesome going back to read some of my previous posts. The thread was Creating a Winning MegaMillions System in which I explained how I picked 20 lines for every MM drawing and posted the first 10 on the prediction page. I... [ More ]

That remains to be seen. But at least the subject matter belongs in the math forum math as it relates to lotteries , as opposed to the Mystical Forum Statistics as a doctrinal religion applied to lotteries .

So much for not encouraging discussion

Hi Raven:

There's merit to what you've said about math. However, among statisticians, particularly academic statisticians, statistics isn't a science. For them statistics is a religion. Their approach to statistics differs from science throughout the definition of the word.

Science: Unbiased observation [minus preconceptions], premises, theories, hypotheses based on observation, testing of premises, theories and hypotheses, new observations based on outcomes of test results, modify premise... [ More ]

Starting with the Basics: Is a Good Place to Begin:

What is Mathematics?

Mathematics: The study of numbers and their forms, arrangements, relationships and properties!

What is Statistics?

Statistics: The science of collecting and using numerical data as it relates to a particular subject! (In this Case: The Lottery

Hi RL. Thanks for the reply. As a practical matter I doubt the management could do itself a favor by trying to curtail it. The people who've been attacking you and who post the same messages phrased in different ways have been paying to say it over and over for a long time. They'd probably quit paying for memberships if they were forbidden to say the only thing they ever say.

I was searching my mind for other means of approaching the problem that doesn't rely on the hysterical taking a nap. N... [ More ]

Maybe the Master Blaster could define a set of rules for what can and cannot be said but this would

be hard to do and allow free speach at the same time. I tried an approach of fighting fire with fire

which, while it is very effective for firefighters I must say say that it had little effect on the problem

at hand and just made it worse. I have resorted to using the tatics of a sane mam and decided

that I will no longer stoop to that level and if I cannot respond in a ci... [ More ]

Thanks

The primary objective is to convince regular lottery players who have the time and resources to play every draw that

the gap strategy is worthwhile, and can be profitable over the long haul.

Can you imagine the possible outcomes if five Pick 3 players looking at the exact same data shared their choices?

The difficulty, of course, is getting folks to try something new and different.

Thanks for the reply bobby623. I've been watching your Gap Strategy threads with interest. I like the approach you've taken to communicating what you''re doing and consider your efforts laudable. Glad to see you post on the Math Forum.

I don't know if this contribution fits your quest for a reasonable

and sane discussion of lottery systems and playing techniques, but, why not give it a go.

First, I have what I believe is a rational, sane, systematic, etc, method

of picking lottery numbers for all of the games.

I call it 'Gap Strategy' which, using winning number combinations as a base,

generates 4 distinct data streams that are used according to a 'standard

operating procedure' to help a player choose numbers... [ More ]

Dozens, maybe hundreds of members on this site have devoted years and decades to studying lotteries and approaches to winning against them. Most evidently believe they've learned something in the process and some are sharing what they believe they've learned on this forum, the Lottery Systems Forum, the Pick 5 Forum, the Jackpots Forum, the Pick 3 Forum and possibly elsewhere.

The general methods they've developed fall into several distinct categories, some involving statistics, some involvi... [ More ]
