Hello Bobp ! Kudos to you for one of the best lottery information websites on the net. Thanks a million.
Say Bob... using your example ......of either combining or not combining Eve and Midday draws to form a different answer ....depending on one's view.... The odds remain the same no matter what right? The per cents of hits for each number group .... remain the same right?
The odds and stats remain the same regardless. No matter if you keep the draws seperate or combine both Eve and Midday ...... or even if you string 5 state games all together ..... the per cents ,,,odds,,,etc are the same.
Singles will still continue to hit around 72% of the time....doubles 27% ....trips 1% no matter how many or how few games are used.
Doubles will still not follow other doubles ..... most of the time.
Series will not follow other series numbers most of the time .
Even if you use and track ......5 state evening games ...all strung together ....you still will end up with around 18.25 triple hits during the year....but that's still only 1% of those 1,825 draws. We will still end up with 1314 Single numbers hits....and 492 doubles ....plus or minus for all 5 games together.
As far as the act of combining games or not goes ...... the perspective shouldn't change regarding basic stats and expected results. If we are consistent in our play ....results at the end of the year will always end up about the same.
It's like I always say ...." It's just harder to track that way......and more expensive $$$ to play combined games that way every day".
I will say .......the perspective on my wallet may change however ..... big time ! LOL
