Wow, you got 74 a bunch of times! The more you study and experience your S H chart the more you will see happening. I don't have time to follow Mass but look for things that happen reliably a large percent of the time and stick with them.You will have so many things to consider. The chart easily shows you hot and overdues etc. but you will find they are probably in your consecs, mirrors etc. too. Key numbers, key pairs and triads are essential to wheeling combos. Try to find one number or pair y... [ More ]

Wow!! It seems complicated at first but I'm beginning to see some trends with the mirrors and consecs..

Seeing the 7 repeating sev times and I think I'm noticing a trigger for the consecs...

What are some triggers to watch for? I see some serious indicators with the dbl 8's.. And 7's.

i had a gut feeling about today's 7654 run but didn't pull the trigger...

Mehta are your thought about wheeling Key and Overdue #'s with hot numbers...

I know what you mean, it's a very fickle game so we need to keep it simple and be consistent with our analysis and selection methods. In my opinion 30 games is far enough back to start and if you keep the chart up to date you will have months before you know it. You can keep a midday chart, an evening chart and a combined chart if you want. I just keep one chart...combined.. and record all the data I can get on it and call it good. Sometimes the numbers come from midday to midday and sometimes e... [ More ]

This is getting quite interesting in a hurry....

ive been so cold in the past two weeks im quite discouraged... Right now im sitting back and just observing the draws trying

to spot trends and patterns.. I went from hitting 20 out of 28 draws to 0 for the last 20!! QUITE PERPLEXED!!

I think its time to really start from scratch... i made up some charts in the last two days to analyze whats taking place.

ALX — Sat, 25 Apr 2015 18:05:55 GMT

For sure, and no mirror or mirror pair like MD had at Midday may mean opportunity for the next game. And a double has only 3 numbers to mirror (6689-2460 MD 4/1), (3839-0842 MD 4/2) so that helps.

grwurston — Sat, 25 Apr 2015 17:08:55 GMT

I think choosing the right mirror to hit today may be a bit of a judgment call based on which of the 4 mirrors would be most likely to hit today according to how each # is trending. (Hot or cold). Which is I suppose, similar to what we might do with anything else. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Reply #28

ALX — Sat, 25 Apr 2015 16:03:14 GMT

The mirror pairs seem to hit about 50% (about every other game) but in MD they seem to hit 2 games in a row then take a couple of games off which is helpful. A mirror number from one of the previous game's four numbers hit about 80% of the time but knowing which one is the hard part.

The root sum is the sum reduced to one digit.

2898 is 2+8+9+8=27 sum is 27. 2+7=9 root sum is 9. 0128 is 0+1+2+8=11 sum is 11 1+1=2 root sum is 2

now if you used 2898 where 2+8+9+8=27 =7 then the 7 is your SLD sum last digit.

The date sums I don't know about, I don't use them.

Some people track the sums and will use all the #'s that pertain to a particular sum. I like the root sums (RS) better. It's easier to track 9 RS than 27 sums right? Some sums have more #'s than oth... [ More ]

How does the sum of the numbers relate to the next drawing and or the previous drawing?

im a little miffed about the actual use of sums..

can you explain a little more about the terms... Root sum ...

If 2898 falls is it 2+8+9+8= 27 = 7 ?

or am I way off?

ive heard someone say date sum..

is that just the date ? 04/24= ?

Thanks ALX. I'm glad you brought up the mirrors, I hadn't thought about them in so long I almost forgot about them. LOL Bigrig1972, this is something you could make up a chart for. Whether or not a mirror hit and which pair. If nothing else it would be a good learning tool to see how often the mirrors hit where you play. Sometimes I'll get an idea for something to track, make a chart and then find out it doesn't happen often enough to worry about. Other times, I'm like, I wish I thought of that... [ More ]

grwurston's advice is rock solid and the skip and hit chart is an excellent tool. Not many people like helping newcomers because they usually ask you to do the work for them or never even acknowledge your input, you know ...snowflakes. This is not an easy game and luck is certainly a factor. Something to consider is the anatomy of a P4 number..... (1) one or more numbers will repeat from the previous game most of the time (2) there will be a consecutive pair most of the time i.e. 12, 23, 34 etc.... [ More ]

You're quite welcome. I should have mentioned that you might want to go back at the very minimum to the beginning of April on the chart. March or even January would be better still. Keep the charts separate, one for midday one for evening. Some players combine both draws into one chart, but that is a matter of personal preference and if their state works better that way. You can always do that later if you want.

It will take some time to do it, but it will allow you to see a few months of the... [ More ]

I really appreciate the time you took to give me this advice. I started setting up a hit and miss chart today. I think it will help me quite a bit in the long run . I have to go back to work on the tugboat today, so I will be on the sidelines but it will be good because I will not be betting any actual money and I will compare my numbers to the winning numbers each day. I took some pretty big hits in the last few days on the mass daily and evening numbers. I think in the beginning as I was selec... [ More ]

First you need some graph paper. Next write the dates down the left (long) side. To the right of the dates write the drawn #s.

Now across the top of the page write 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

4/1 0496 X X X X

4/2 1257 1 X X 1 X 1 X 1

4/3 5068 X 1 1 2 X X X 2

4/4 3249 1 2 X X X 1 1 1 X

Each day after the drawing, mark an X under each of the 0-9 #'s that hit.

Example. If the drawn # is 0496, you put the X under the 0 4 6 9.

If the next draws were 1257, 5068, 3249. It wo... [ More ]

I don't use rundowns. Do you know what skip and hit charts are? You can use / make them yourself to track just about anything. They're a must to help pick #'s.

Hi Bigrig1972, Welcome to LP!!!

Since you're pretty new at the games, I would suggest you pick just one state (Mass?) and stick with that. Take time

to study your state and learn how it behaves with the numbers. You will notice that certain things happen, pay

attention to when they happen and how often. (Not necessarily dates.) Look for trends or patterns in the numbers.

Try to find things that happen more often than others. This will give you an edge. Don't be afraid to... [ More ]
