Odds of two or three
How great are my odds of matching two numbers better than matching 3 numbers from the same pool of numbers.

How to calculate this?Reply
What does matter is the possible combinations of 1's and 2's in a pool of 14 numbers and they are 14 and 91.

numbers don't lieReply
I don't know where he was going either, but both of our examples are good ways to show that while numbers don't lie, what we do with them may be misleading to some, or at least counter-intuitive. Just because some people are fooled doesn't mean that there is any intent to deceive.By choosing to reduce each group of 10 by 3, you chose the pattern that resulted in the highest number of combinations. By reducing only 1 group of 10 by all 9, I chose the one with the fewest combinations. I don't kno

Potential Reoccurrence ProbabilityReply
I totally agree that there is no equation (that is related to probability) that will predict and pinpoint the very next lottery number to be selected. Probability is closely tied to combinatorics. Odds and probabilities are calculations that are based on the combinations permutations that one is playing or measuring against the total amount of possibilities. Probability formulas always refer to these elements in one way or another. Perhaps the real problem isn't the use of mathematics

New approach to Linear FilteringReply
Also, I play pool myself, started learning seriously about 2 years ago and have an 8' table in my basement.

probability typesReply
The above observations about 26% of the time was just one example. Going the other way if one looks at the previous 16 drawings which usually covers 38-46 numbers, all the winning numbers are in that group 29% of the time and if you only include numbers that have hit 1-2 times, the pool is reduced to 26-40 numbers and have all the winning numbers 7% of the time. As Thoth suggests, the trick is to find an event that has a mathematical advantage by the number of times it occurs. I suspect the

Determining a Coincidence or Possible TrendReply
BTW - I select numbers NOT by hot/cold/due, I eliminate numbers using certain criteria, which leaves me with a 'pool' to choose from.

Mathematical Cost of Playing the GameReply
solemntruth math works like this.1. Solemntruth form lottery pool team of 12 members.2. Each team member pay him $50 to buy tickets3. He use their $600 (12 x $50) to buy $360 worth of tickets4. Team members share *$360 worth of tickets, solemntruth makes $240. * team member cost for $360 worth of chances $50 = saving of $310 ea. **better math - 12 friends who know each other put $50 in a pool, buy $600 worth of tickets and have even better chance to win something.** team member cost for $600

I have a math questionReply
Yep. Hence, the files we made. The files can be found here: Excel 2007 - ftp://www.jadexcode.com/Excel/CombinatorialIndex.xlsm Excel 2003 - ftp://www.jadexcode.com/Excel/CombinatorialIndex.xls These have function description and usage in the Function Information tab. =Fact(N) Returns - - An integer - The factorial of N, mathematically written as ' N! ' - N! - N (N - 1) (N - 2) 3 2 1 - 0! = 1 =Perm(N, R) Returns - - An integer
