hi BoBP,
since i asked for the opinion, i'll also reply with remarks, some of them philosophically.
prediction
we in israel have this phrase :
"Prophecy was given to the fools", meaning - there is no possible reliable way to predict
a lottery number since its a random dvent. if you can sell me a tool that can predict a single
number in a 50% ratio, i'll buy it for 1000$. deal ?
This is a red herring. The lottery is a drunken stagger where we attempt to predict the next step within perarmeters. Even total random often displays patterns that may continue one more draw. I would even consider as valuable a prediction tool that is always wrong as I'd know what numbers not to play.
Look, we're not talking scientific method with results that can be reproduced in the lab. We're talking about the computer software giving us a leg up on the other players ahead and behind us on line buying tickets.
statistics
the pie chart is not labled since you probably havent selected a lottery from the menu.
statistics is 2 years of past draws, hot/cold and span view, i have a apecial robot that collect draws.
I had loaded the Florida lottery and downloaded the history, the pie chart showed percentages, but was missing the descriptions of what they refered to.
filters
what do you mean "filters are gross rather then defined" ?
with a repeat filter you filter combinations against the past draws ( up to 256 ).
this is the most powerful filter i think, and i havent found any software that deliver this.
There are two ways to filter (maybe more) the gross way is to bulk filter such as to eliminate combinations with three or more odd numbers. This uses a broad brush to sweep many combinations off the table.
The other method is the targeted filter or defined filter where one's research might suggest the next draw will be either 3 odd and 3 even numbers or 2 odd and 4 even. I realize your software might do this with multiple passes, but others do it with a selection of each filter while showing the expected percentage of each based on probability and what past draw history had drawn so far.
What are the odds of a wheel generated combination matching a previous lottery win anyway? When I review how often 3, 4 and 5 numbers out of 6 drawn in combinations previously have repeated I'm not that quick with the slash unless I'm targeting only the jackpot.
"Filters should have a report so you know what to set them to." - they do report, and every filterd
combination is colored.
Sorry, I did not find a statistical breakdown of the filter settings I could use to set the filters.
printing
"It doesn't appear possible to print the combinations except on the play slips.", i'll consider
adding this even i dont think you need this if you can print to a bet slip and view the combinations.
Not everyone wants to change printer settings to mark a couple of play slips and verify it was done perfectly when they can just print the plays and hand mark the play slip leaving a page to circle the winning numbers after the draw. No one minds extras if the basics are there.
wheels
"Wheels should cover up to all the numbers in the game not stop at 30." - i'm planing on expanding to 35 numbers, but lets get real, how often you play a 35 number wheel ? some of the wheels lottojet
offers, are the most optimal you will find. with lottojet you can also play full wheels.
Hmmm, actually if you want to avoid predicting the alternative is open cover wheeling designs with up to all the numbers in play. I hope you realize the wheel guarantee is totally compromised the moment the filters remove one line so optimal is pointless anyway. The optimal lottery software's like Lottohat and Lotwin apply your filters to a full wheel of up to all the numbers and distills out a lower tier prize wheel on the fly.
