I don't dispute what you say.

However, in RL's software the program evaluates the last 45 digits using a method that is not totally revealed in the tutorial.

The User must evaluate the data and make a choice which the software converts into games for play.

I, on the other hand, generate trend strings based on the sum of the 'last 2', last '3' and last '4' in each of two data strings, called Gaps and Values.

I then evaluate what I call 'follower strings' and make a choice based on... [ More ]

In the tutorial on game analysis, he states that the software evaluates the last 45 digits, he calls them 'chunks', in the trend string being used to choose digits for play.

Given his lottery experience, I'll accept 45 as a good number, and I plan to use it in my game and draw history trend strings.

Personally, I was thinking that 40 would be best, which is generally based on the number of columns in a regular sheet of graph paper!

Given the number of folks who post their predictions, guesses, whatever, in the daily game forums, I thought I would get a few specific suggestions about my question regarding optimum length of trend strings.

I don't know if it's a matter of confidentiality or lack of interest.

I understand that some lottery gamblers are very protective regarding their methods.

Maybe the generation of tracking charts and subsequent analysis of the trend data they produce isn't as popular as I imagine it... [ More ]

The difference between math-based and substitution is that I don't track pairs, triples, etc as you do.

The one question I have for every substitution-based string that I use is - What's the next follower?

I come up with what I believe is the best answer by analyzing the string I'm working with.

Sometimes the answer is obvious, but most times it becomes a matter of guesswork.

I have to come up with minimum of 6 correct answers to win a Daily 4 prize.

Yeah, I know nothing about your concept of 'substitution' at all and, in fact, I'm curious as to just what you're substituting as we're only dealing with numbers on a 0-9 scale. Then, those numbers create sums, even pairs, odd pairs, high/low digits, and all the other corresponding combinations within the preset mathematical possibilities. Anyhow, it seems to me that you're looking for more repeatability because your wins are maybe few and far apart...I'm just guessing. Been there, done that and... [ More ]

Thanks for your interest and comments.

I initiated this thread because I know, as a 'systems' player, that a lot of lottery gamblers are using various 'trend' strings to decide what numbers have best chance of winning.

These strings get longer and longer as more data is added.

I have a lot of strings.

As I've indicated, I'm beginning to believe that useful strings eventually become a liability.

Question is - how long is too long.

I was hoping that systems players... [ More ]

bobby, I tend to agree with you in your initial post. You're putting way too much thought into the game in general but, when I see where you mention a $5200 winning ticket, it all becomes null and void if that's accurate. I mean, you just don't fix what's not broken. Know what I mean? To be clear and honest, though, I question the total investment up until that particular win happened. That said, I believe you had maybe a 1/10 of that $5200 invested which makes it a top notch win. But, how repea... [ More ]

First of all, I appreciate the responses.

I think more information about my methods would be helpful.

As some of you know, I use the power of substitution to create and sustain my tracking charts.

I divide a lottery game into three major parts with each having a couple of supporting charts.

I then use the 'follower' concept to generate trend lines.

I analyze these individual trend lines and try to find the best answer to one major question - What's Next?

To win, my guesswork, w... [ More ]

Depends on what is being tracked: Single Digits, Pairs, Grouped Combinations.

Texas is a true draw state so they are humping the machines around into different positions to force randomness. It doesn't hurt to try and tell if draws tend to follow another or if they are totally successful at establishing random draws. For most systems you only need the past ten draws, but for positional digits straight followers you want about two thousand and have to use the top five = 125 wagers.

Prior data in NM has alot to do with what hits next . The 71 pair hit again today as 177. The number 7 was cold and is now catching up to the rest over the last 25 games in the mid draws. The 75 hit gain last night as 557. Two draws before it was 745. The number seven followed from the eve to the mid draw. I use sums as an indicator along with hot,cold digits. Several repeat digits 062,063. Etc.

I usually go back 25 draws or more and look at hot,cold digits. I find charts that track from past... [ More ]

I used 30 drawings because it creates an average of 3 hits for each digit in each digit position as a base, but the only trends with digits are what to expected from probability. A digit trend might be over when it's noticed because a digit may outperform in the first 10 drawings and go cold in the next 20. And that creates outdated trend information .

As for digits in any position, 30 drawings gives a 9 hit base or 20 to give a 6 hit base that could be used for trends like one or two digits... [ More ]

I think you're making a good move cutting down to just one draw. Keeping track of four draws has to be over whelming with the paper work involved, two is bad enough. lol

I agree with you that a lot of tracking, while useful for learning how your state works or what it likes to do is good, it often leads to us having to make too many decisions when choosing our numbers. And one wrong decision and we end up losing, which happens way too often.

I've been trying to simplify the game lately, g... [ More ]

Depends what you mean by trends and how you observe what you see. In other words to search for a trend, start by using a certain number of draws. If you see nothing, then alter the nunber of draws. Some say 5 is enough, but what trends one is looking for also tends to be specific to what you see. I personally use 7 draws combined. I also use 14 drawings combined. And then I also use 13 drawings combined. In my opinion from what I see that is enough. Some states however do not have Sunday drawing... [ More ]

You posed a problem and you answered it!

I believe that my future analysis should be guided by one undeniable fact:

Drawings are independent events. That is to say that the results from a Day drawing has no effect on the Eve or any other drawing.

Many people do not subscribe to that 'fact', the clue is the 'structure' of the 10 digit pool before the event. This approach reduces to pool to a workable Base.

The problem with crunching past data is the 'PRIOR' Data, which data are you... [ More ]

Have a question for the mathematicians, and anyone else.

How many drawings does one need to prepare rationale and useful Pick 3 trend charts???

Personally, I've always believed that logging 'all' or 'combined' drawings was the best approach.

Texas has four Pick 3 drawings per day.

If all drawings must be considered, 12 numbers must be added to the appropriate tracking charts each day.

I'm learning through experience that processing 72 numbers per week is generating a lot of data t... [ More ]
