The new cycle, MM and PB only...
Given that just about every single thing I looked at with regard to accurately predicting numbers over the last 20 plus years has come up dry, it is time to change the strategy. The new plan, as covered before, is to take on the jackpot games in alternating weeks. The old budget was $14 per week every week, so that was $28 in a 2 week span, this new budget, which will include adding on the multiplier and double draw for power ball will cost $12 one week and $10 the next... $22 every...

So what exactly is it I am trying to achieve?
Been thinking about the current plays... did not get any hits outside of the Match 6 so far, and they were small wins. After calculations and analysis over a few decades, my conclusion is, though it MAY be possible to use computing power to help find winners, I simply lack the ability to do it! I don't see patterns because there are none! The Markov chain would have found them applied to followers... in any other data, the steps taken would have been rewarded with results... identif...

The strategy for tomorrow with the pick 5 cycle
Since there are 3 weeks, a different strategy will be applied each week. Week 1: Taking the Markov Chain follower direct result, using the classifier as a tie breaker on equal frequencies. Week 2: taking the 10 most recent followers per position, and finding the one highest on the list in the classifiers for each position. Week 3: taking the digit in each column that is simultaneously highest on both classifier and follower tables, that also appears on the 10 mos...

A test for lag in the Markov Chain
Since I have over a week left on the Match 6, I plan to run a back test on the lab (script) version of the Markov Chain follower program. The data is exact between the app and the script, and the lab has it's own copy of the data files. Test 1. Check for lag by deleting the last 21 draws and running the script, checking the highest output as it prints for a straight hit over the next 21 draws. Test 2. Using the 10 most recent followers that outputs with each colu...

Rigorous testing means no surprises...
And coders don't really like surprises! (Unless a pick you generate happens to match the draw results...) Tested all 14 games against the universal classifier script in 3 modes 1. With offset and window set to 0 2. With offset of 0 and window of 21 3. With offset of 10 and window of 21 This was to ensure that all games work, AND that the data slicing was correct when introducing non zero values for the offset and the classification window....

Budget always in mind when creating "systems"
One of the main reasons I have always tried to develop a straight shot system is of course the cost. One ticket is cheaper than a group of tickets. However, one ticket is a pain to calculate every day. Hence my move to a 7 day forecast window. Same cost as a daily system, but 1/7 the work involved. Two pitfalls I avoid... 1. Playing the night pick for the day game or playing the day pick for the night. That would double the cost, and the rarity is not worth the...

The reality of my systems attempts...
On the surface, no system works! IF there were any bias whatsoever, it would have been found in the Markov Chain follower analysis. For a week straight after finishing the app, I would update the app in the morning, write down the follower picks for 8 games (PA pick2, 3, 4 and quinto... day and eve), then check the list in the evening... there was 1 win in 7 days on the mid day pick 2... checking every day... now I did not play these... just wrote them down. I ran a simila...

Some ideas for the Markov Chain Follower back test
So what is it that would be useful to count? The obvious is did the numbers at the top of the transition distribution list ALL match the next draw? , secondary would be if ANY of the numbers matched. This means there are 2 scopes to check... the per column scope, and the combined column scope (whole draw). Which scope the script is in determines the output timing. Setting per column variables to capture the data that can then be resolved at the top level across...

How I used an incorrect back test on followers...
My followers script itself is well over a year old. When I originally ran the first back test, it was 100% within Excel. The idea was simple, loop the script with each digit as the last draw so I would know the top follower of each digit in each position, put these into a lookup table, and count the number of straight hits. Of all possible replacement strategies, this one performed best, meaning at the time, it almost returned enough straight hits to make the i...

What a milestone! The windows app works!
BOTH the classifier function AND the follower/Markov chain function work! They display the data in tables, and then can drill down into the column stats view with the additional stats collected! When I started building this, I designed from the top level screen down each button path... The main screen has 2 buttons, update draws and choose game I went down the update path first and got that 100% functional. The choose game brings...
