LoL ... It was even number repeat and did hit in Position 3. It was not the number 24 that repeated. It was 28. Position p-5, and it repeated in 3rd. slot. This is ofno help at all ....unless you wanted to predict what position was next going to receive the next repeat number. Position doesn't count in 6/49. That's what we get when a Pick-3 player uses his game familiarity starting from here. Well, between an inexperienced player, and using bad data history, and attempting to do it by hand, y...

Went back by hand and looked at the last 52 draws on lotto south. 25 repeats of 1 digit ....and of those only 2 two number repeats. Of the 25 repeats 16 were odd numbers....and only 9 even. Each of the 6 positions had at least one hit. position 1.....5 hits p2.....3 hits p3.....1 hit * p4.....1 hit * p5.....6 hits p6.....7 hits Based on this and other considerations, it seems the value of this as a tool to pick the next repeat number c...

Colin,You have 7-10 minutes after you post to edit or delete your post. There are edit and delete buttons on the lower right side of you post, they disappear 7-10 minutes after you post the first time . I often edit and update my posts several times and they still look stupid when I review them a day later.RJOh

WIN DAnd that is why I say if you can consistently do marginally better than the published odds in these big odds games for the 3's, 4's and 5's you're doing very well.Some of us know and have confirmed that some of the outrageous claims made by some promoters will not stand close scrutiny. You have a little pick at someone who's getting a bit too y now and then, that's all - if you tried to take them all on you'd go nuts.For the regular contributions you make I think you should be thanked for t...

Thanks Colin and RJOH . This is a TUFF game. It hurts my little.... Pea- Pickin' Pick3 head. The odds are just toooo much for me to use in my little methods. In the Pick-5 games ....I always picture it as me against the odds of about 10 college football stadiums ....each one of them holding about 50,000 people. During halftime they call out the winning ticket number at all 10 stadiums .......Yeah! it's me. I can handle that easy. ha ha. OK, I can dream that high ...one in 500,000. But......... [ More ]

The probablity of a repeat in the next draw of a 6/49 game is the same as it would be for any six numbers combination having numbers in the next draw. 6 / 6 1 : 13983816 5 / 6 1 : 54201 4 / 6 1 : 1032 3 / 6 1 : 57 2 / 6 1 : 8 1 / 6 1 : 2The odds of a single number repeating in the next draw is 1:2, to get the odds of 2+ draws back divide the above odds by 2+.

Win dI'm not ignoring what you ask for just give me a bit of time. Over 2 years ago I went into all this then went well away from it. I'll dig out what you want but anyone else feel free to provide the info.One thing I can tell you is that the figures did not get much enthusiasm from me; in fact they were the prime motivator for me to look for another way forward. I do believe that finding some kind of useful repetition is the key to a good lotto system.RegardsColin

Dear Big game players, What per cent of the time do you get a 2 number repeat in 6/49 ? Is there an equation? What is the % of a one number repeat? What per cent do you have all even numbers..or...all odd? On the rare times that we get an all even on the 5/39 .......if I remember, your odds go down from a pool of about a half a million .....to .....around 5o,ooo . I only play all even numbers when I do play. On those days.....90% better odds. If you knew that position 3 had produced the las... [ More ]

Win DHow ya doing. Good to hear from you.I don't know whether you've noticed but I'm currently working on a simple little free Pick3/Pick4 program to sort and analyze a Draw History. The idea is I get some experience in uploading, providing downloading and putting some security into the program before I do anything more ambitious. I asked for a bit of feedback from a couple of members - but nothing yet.At the moment I'm looking at including the following:History List: 3 Columns or 4Choose Histor... [ More ]

Hello mate! I'll have to talk fast.... before all the blood rushes to my head. Not use to this southern hemisphere (Australia). LOL Colin, I don't play the larger games, Pick 3 is my hobby. I do enjoy your post very much and read this one on repeats and probability and became interested in asking you more about it. Have you ever tracked the position frequency for repeats? Not the numbers ....no....just the positions. In the 6/49 you are lucky in that your choices are of an even number(6). S... [ More ]

Probability of Repeats, Subsequent Draws

A 6/49 Lotto.Probabilty of a repeat in the next draw 6/49. This explains why we nearly get a repeat number from the previous draw in every draw.I would like to see some probability equations for the draw after that and the draw after that etc.To each his own. I can extract that information without getting a headache but not necessarilly so if I have to wade through the Math(s). But I like to see that my results correspond to the Math(s).RegardsColin
