Below, from my post:
"even if such software does not give automatic predictions."
------------------------------
I was not talking about a program that gave automatic predictions, but about a program that gave stats and filters tools.
But I do believe that it is possible for a program to give automatic winning predictions, but not all of the time, just somewhat more often than what the same number of quick-picks would give.
How do I know? When a person like me makes a prediction, I or that person uses "Prediction Rules", this is not something that I have written down on paper, but I can write them down on paper or with a word processor in some kind of text file in a computer if I wanted to, these are not some sort of quick-picks, but prediction methods based on the statistics of past winning numbers and they are "Rule Based" in accord to what such stats show, this is something that can be coded into a program, but as I don't win all of the time, the program would not either, it would be prediction rules based upon statistical situations, same as a person does in his mind, but coded into a program, perhaps not a thing just for any programmer to do, but for a good enough programmer, that is good enough to be able to do the job, it depends on the rules' script and on the programmers ability.
It tells the program what things and where to look for them and what to do after depending on what it finds and where, this sounds simple enough, but it is a little more complex than that, this is not a quite right explanation, but will have to do here for now.
