All TTT Players,
In the quoted post above you can review the result of using the last day of the previous month to calculate the TTT set of up to 16 numbers for 1 month's play. The result of that approach was approximately a 52% loss over the entire 33.5 years of the test. I hope those who have been claiming these backtests are worthless because noone would play the same numbers for 33 years are awake enough now to note that this TTT system changes the betting set every month.
However, since those who believe this backtesting is useless are apparently concerned about the frequency of changing bets, I decided to run this TTT over the data with a few variations on the original theme, just to see what would have happened. It was actually quite easy to change the program to re-calculate the TTT and the betting set EVERY DRAW. I can also look back as many draws as I want to get the previous winner for the TTT calculation. If there is any rationale for the system, perhaps it will do better when using a winning number from a recent drawing, rather than arbitrarily sticking with the last day of the previous month.
These are the recaps of 7 different runs:
TTT Calculation # of Hits # Tickets LOSS
Last day Previous Mo. 162 169,681 $88,681
1 Draw Previous 186 171,426 $78,426
2 Draws Previous 184 171,000 $79,000
3 Draws Previous 187 171,250 $77,750
7 Draws Previous 160 170,319 $90,319
30 Draws Previous 182 169,658 $78,658
99 Draws Previous 177 168,841 $80,341
The details of 3 of the runs are here:

http://www.box.net/shared/228veb2s73 // Three Draws Previous
http://www.box.net/shared/g6dfqe07la // Thirty Draws Previous
I didn't upload all of them as it's really not necessary to see any more
than this to be convinced that this TTT is a Random Number Generator!
If you would like to see the results of choosing a particular LookBack period
for this TTT calculation, POST HERE NOW! I will make the run and post the
summary AND the details for the FIRST REASONABLE REQUEST!
