Ok, I found a way to get this table in here so you could read it:

0.500 = odds as decimal fraction (0 odds 1)

1.999 : 1 = odds as ratio (###.### : 1)

.0 = elapsed time

. . . AT . . . . AT ABOVE . .AT BELOW . . . RATIO ODDS

. 0 .5,000,092 . 5,000,092 .10,000,000 . . . . . . . . 1.99996

. 1 .2,500,114 . 7,500,206 . .4,999,908 . . . . . . . . 3.99982

First, on your thought that knowledge is success . . . If you can see the universe in a grain of sand, why not in a hand of cards? Check out Sting's Shape of My Heart on YouTube. The lyrics to the first verse are of great interest to me. Based on your last statement, you might enjoy that, too.

Concerning the flags. In a computer program, you can easily create an array of 10,000,000 elements. A single statement does it. Each of those elements can be a flag. Each flag can be set (1) or reset (0... [ More ]

Very interesting approach. Could you elaborate more on the Flags?

Your conclusion is the same as the one in my gut. The workouts I have done seam to produce the results I want to see. It also seams that with most of the number tricks I have tried history shows that those tricks produce no better % of hits than the bare odds.

Still, WE keep going. It just occurred to me that a focus on the Random Generator is the answer. The random generator is tasked with producing a stream of numbers wit... [ More ]

Concerning hot/cold numbers:

I have a simulator that relates to this idea.

The simulator sets up a series of 10,000,000 flags based on odds.

For example, if odds of 2 : 1 are used, 5,000,000 flags are set in random positions.

Then I count the number of consecutive flags set starting at each of the 10,000,000 positions.

I tried pasting the output here, but it becomes unreadable.

Upshot is, you get 0 hits in a row 5,000,000 times. This is because 5,000,000 flags do not get set. T... [ More ]

Sorry I did not respond to this before. I took a turn to Strings and have been there for a few weeks. I hear you about the prizes. I will look for a connection between Strings and NEXT POSITION 1 DIgit.

Thanks for the Idea

I really have no clue. I live in Texas USA. He lives in Bahamas When he sends a text with pairs he copies several folks. I've not paid attention to where they live One could only assume he first do this a lone. Then again I've no clue how to answer. Sry and I don't really follow Pick 3/4 too often

Random or not, is best to focus on binomial concept, the matrix of all games(probabilities,odds etc are guarding tools , not for predictions) then the PRIZE structure of selected game.Take Pick 3 for example, the format is 10P3 for 1000 lines, to win a straight you have to wage $1000, which is a rip off, based on the prize structure. What if you can reduce 1000 lines to 100 for EXACT bet within 5 draws? You spend $500(A dollar /pick , it could be less) for potential multiple hits or recover your... [ More ]

Brings up another Question. Florida and many other States have Midday and Evening Draws. Texas and Oregon have Morning, Day, Evening and Night Draws. Are the numbers generated between Draws? If so in narrows the clock window so I might not have to stay up all night to be on time.

RE: You have less than a minute !

Is it possible to change the algorithm (outcome) of the winning lottery numbers within a one (1) minute time frame ??? If so, perhaps your co-worker found a way to lock-in his chosen numbers without the fear of diversion.

I looked again into random functions and have now more choices in Excel. Eventually using C# or VB, you get more out of it, unless the same library is used.

Yeah he was out there G. He's a board member or was at one point He plays on line and lives in the Bahamas. We ran into him on vacation He may have had way too many island ritual dances but did win a lot

Start with wiki about RNGs. It will give you some idea on the different methods of generating random numbers.

Using the computer timer to seed a generator is likely the oldest method. It will eventually repeat.

Your buddy being able to predict the number sounds like a magician's trick.

He would watch the atomic clock tick tock tick tock and had a list of pairs and depending upon what fell in I think 3 of those states he was able to slam Florida I think it was Cali , Chi, NY, ATL, Tri State and Florida

Excel according to documentation. I have seen another explanation using three rests.

The first random number:

random_number=fractional part of (9821 * r + 0.211327), where r = .5

Successive random numbers:

random_number=fractional part of (9821 * r + 0.211327), where r = the previous random number

This brings up an interesting prospect; however the guy's claim you refer to would require that he new to the minute when the Draw happened. Any Idea how he figured that out? Also what did he use to pick numbers at this exact time? Quick Picks?

I also do not believe that the Random Number Generator is totally random. Using time in the formulas is an interesting idea. One thing we know about stopping a clock is that the value is going up. Makes me wonder___.

I don't predict random numbers but I do have a system that favors cold numbers. That's all I've got.

All lotteries start their draws using what's called the Atomic clock Without going into a lot f details you have exactly 1 minute to daw between when the 1s draw hits in Cali until the last if the draws hit in Flo I don't okay the pick 3/4 much anymore but worked with this guy on how one can win between $40 and up on a continuous basis but you have to camp out at the counter before it draws and on a computer You have less than a minute. This guy pinned the numbers about 80% of the time done time... [ More ]

It has been stated many times there is NO connection between the random numbers generated for each lottery draw and the previous numbers drawn. Still, I and many or you are trying to find formulas or combinations of the previous draws to predict the next draw.

I am using Excel to test formulas and combinations for Pick 3, 4 and 5 games. The workbook allows me to 1: Create formula sets quickly (ex: adding the previous number in Number Column N1 to the previous number in the Number Column M3
