Hi Everyone,
I just noticed that there were many posts on the various systems to play, but in my opinion, the number one consideration over all of that is number selection. To me, Todd’s wheels on the Lottery Post work just as great, if not better, than Gail Howard’s, Steve Player’s, Robert Serotic and any other wheel and strategy author.
The above mentioned authors and others do cover number selection, but not in the depth that I think they should. They mention hot, cold, skip, repeat, etc., but do they really explain to you what to look for and what to consider? Take the Georgia Fantasy 5 and Lotto South for example, if you break up the number into groups, of the last 10 draws, 80% of Fantasy 5 was missing a group and 100% of Lotto South was missing a group. In my opinion that is huge. Divide the numbers up into groups such as 1-9, 10-19, 20-29, etc. and 100% of the time one or even two, and sometimes three of those groups will be missing. Look at it the other way, if you play numbers similar to 4-13-26-35-43-49 where every group is included, you have about a 100% chance of NEVER winning the Lotto South jackpot. Isn’t that something to think about? Does anyone know if there is software out there that tracks group hits? There are many other percentages to consider as well. In general, numbers repeat from one drawing to the next an average of 60% to 90% of the time. Add all of these occurrences together and you have some powerful tools to reduce the number field.
Again, the best wheel or software in the world will not win squat if you don’t chose the right numbers. For those of you that have been playing for years and already know what I am talking about, disregard this post. I am just tired of people pushing magical systems when I feel we should all be concentrating on the numbers. By the way, I did a search on “Number Selection” for the last 12 months and only 2 hits came back. That is why I posted my thoughts and ideas today.
Blessings and Fortunes to all.
Thanks,
LA - John
