Thanks, Tntea. Believe it or not, I have done what you are doing and it's not a bad method - it just doesn't cover enough of the "likely" scenarios. I guess I could still use it along with some other methods to find the most common likely numbers that will come. Once, a long time ago, I combined many methods on a chart and then added up all the likely numbers and came up with winners and near-winners just being one number off quite a bit.
On the bell curve, use only night draws or day draws - don't mix them. I use only the numbers from the past nine drawings. Nine drawings? you ask? Because we work with ten numbers and the tenth drawing is the unknown quantity. I add up how many times each of the ten numbers appeared during the last nine drawings, then put them in their respective slots - like 0 and 6 appeared 1X in the past nine draws, then 1,2 3,4 appeared 2X and so on until you have all the ten numbers accounted for in that time frame. You will see the peaks and valleys form as each drawing is held. Remember to deduct the numbers that appeared in the ninth drawing after the new drawing is held. You'll see how things "balance" or shift. To me, it's more like a wave action as the troughs and spikes shift.
Tonight, I was going to have to deduct 588 after the drawing. The 8 was by itself on the right side at having appeared 6 times (6X) times in the past nine draws. So, if 8 wasn't drawn, I'd have to deduct it twice (588 - two eights) and it would then slide down to the 4X slot. Well, 6-8-3 hit tonight, so I deducted the two 8s from 588, but added one of them back to where the 8 settled in the 5X slot. The 6 was in the 1X slot and now it moved up into the 2X slot. It's easier if I could show you a chart, but I don't know how to get a simple grid with numbers in it on this page.
I hope I explained this clear enough to where it doesn't sound like nonsense. I selected the 1,2,3,6,9 to mix tonight to make ten numbers. So, I missed the 683 by one digit - again. Closest I had was 369 box only playing ten combinations. Go to the "bayesoft" Web site. "Sedertree" responded to my question about bell curves. Maybe it will give you even more clout in determining your numbers. You already have a good method. Thanks!
