good luck.Also, never give up just because someone else has had bad results... the journey through picking numbers is one everyone (especially someone developing their own systems) should make on their own.the other suggestion I have is to keep past failed systems on hand, so you can review where you have been.As far as filters go, that error can be corrected out, but it's in hindsight on past results... I was once working on an excel spreadsheet for powerball and made a cell reference error...... [ More ]

That's pretty much the game I'm playing right now, profiling, however, I never key off any key numbers, only the numbers that best fit multiple profiles. I may in the long run end up with the same conclusion you have. But for now it's a work in progress. As far as results, I'm doing faily well in the two and three hit range, but have noticed I would have had 4 hits several times if I had been betting more. The biggest problem I see is that error %'s are additive, so if you have 10 filters/profil... [ More ]

gaps are a profiling tool... you can gather the past gap information and make sure your pick(s) fit the profile in hopes of a win... I once wrote a program to filter all the possible combos in the PA cash 5 to leave only those that matched the profile for gap, range and sum... the number that was drawn wasn't in the 200,000+ combos...the only thing I took from the study of profiling tools (gaps, sums, odd/even, high/low, delta etc..) is that numbers that stand out statistically are rarely dr...

So, looking at the the revised data below:I might want to pick the highlighted area of the total amount column to pick numbers that happen (330/386)*100 =86% of the time, as an example.L1L2L3L4TOTTOTTOT VALAMT 2471629101141925201241219302668224022451350148223560136919702331624803313173691145616102223233011011321261213781028138351119381476610133515445812291672410132917913892118205781737191137910292012145102021171110172922131259172393352334241324419292524124152226...

In the RNG program that I use to pick my numbers, gap and range are used as parameters to control how numbers are distributed. For example in picking numbers to play in MegaMillions, I might enter parameters of 20-51 for ranges and 0-20 for gaps and discard any combinations which had 2 or more adjacent gaps of 1(0) such as 15-16-17-35-40. Gaps, ranges and sums are the easiest kinds of data to calculate so they are mentioned all the time weather they are useful is a question yet to be answered... [ More ]

After looking at the horizontal gap history, for fantasy 5), for over 300 games, I'm confused how this kind of compaison can yield any useful information. Yet, it is mentioned in several forums as an important element in analyzing your numbers.
