Yep, good stuff RJOH. You are correct. That's pretty much the same as what I got from the 6/49 in Canada. I think you may know where I'm coming from here. Perhaps I wasn't very clear to others about what I'm trying to get at, so here it is again:
1. I know Lottosync is better than picking 10 random numbers out of 49.
2. I know the basis of the software is looking at the previous 3 draws to choose 10.
3. I know the odds of getting a 3 of 6 prize in a 6/49 game is 1 in 56. And I know that by using only the last 3 fraws as your pool of numbers that you have a 1 in 16 chance of getting a 3 number prize. This is by choosing at random 10 numbers out of the max possible numbers in the 3 previous draws of 18.
4. Therefore I also know that there is also a higher chance to get more numbers as well. IE. 4, 5, and very rarely 6.
5. What I don't know is if the Lottosync software increases the probability greater than what I've already calculated. And no, 'better than average' is not a calculation. I already know it is better than average, I have already calculated it. I want to know if it is better than choosing 10 random numbers from the previous 3 draws of 18 numbers? A simple test for anyone with the software would be to run Lottosync 100 times and see how many times it gets 3 out of 10 numbers correct. For this test to be fair of course you would have to update the draw every time to account for the ~29% of draws that have the 3 numbers from the previous 3 draws.
3 in 3 in 10 of 18 = 0.147*0.29 = 0.04263 ~4.26%
3 in 3 in 10 of 12 = 0.545*0.29 = 0.158 ~15.8%
Anyway, choosing from a pool of 12-18 numbers yeild probabilities from 4.26-15.8%. The average would likely be around 10%. So, is Lottosync hitting 3 numbers better than 10% of the time? And if it is/isn't, what is the percentage? This is what I want to know.
And, yes I have done a lot of searching and I can't seem to find anything that tells me it is any better than using the strategy I just outlined. IE. Picking only numbers from the last 3 draws. Other questions answered: of course everybody is gonna have a different set of numbers, it's choosing them basically at random; I have bought programs and have programs, almost all of which are useless except for maintaining the data of previous draws......well all except for Ion's software. As for stats I use a lot of Ion's software....you can check out what I'm talking about with his MDIEDITWE program if you're interested. Right now I play the Western 6/49 in Canada and the Pick3. As for picking numbers, I'm working on a strategy based upon missing decades of numbers in the draw history. That's not done yet, so for now I just use randomly generated combinations from MDIEDITWE or Pick632, however only choosing numbers above 19, so 20+.
