Thanks Kap!
I do think I have hit on something with that chart I've been using that has the YTD data on it. It's still hard as Hell to hit the right six numbers, but I've seen an increase in the amount of times I hit for $$. I've hit four or five 3 out of sixes since I started using it, and I came very close to a 4 out of six last nite. I hit a whole bunch of two out of sixes using it, but of course they're worthless. All of that said, I can already tell you the down side of that chart. It's great at this time of year, but come January it'll be useless. That's because it has year-to-date data on it. I've been toying with the idea of creating a "rolling/moving" year's worth of data type chart. I'd put data on it from the last 104 drawings. I'd have to delete the oldest or "105th" drawing's data after each drawing, and then add the most recent (latest) drawing's data to it. I dunno... it might be more effort than I care to bother with to maintain it. We'll see... if I get some down time and want to fiddle around with it, I might knock out a version of it. If/when I do, I'll let you know.
There are now 16 SM drawings left in 2013. I think the 30 that came out last night is going to make a move. Remember when I posted that three numbers (the 30 was one of those three) were drawn 9 times this year and one of them might get hot? I think the 30 is the number that's gonna get hot. Watch for it to double repeat, which means it would be drawn in three consecutive drawings. It's been drawn ten times this year, two more times would bump it up to twelve times drawn. It's been a month since there has been a double repeater. The 17 last did it on October the 3rd according to A+. That makes me think we might see one fairly soon. Maybe LB has data on the mean time or average time to a double repeater in SM. Because there's just 16 drawings to go in 2013, some of those numbers that havent been drawn too much in 2013 gotta make a move. The 20 is super low when compared to the number drawn the least in 2010, 2011, or 2012. It's probably worth playing. It's only been drawn five times this year. Compare that to 2012's least drawn number, the 9, which was drawn ten times. That tells me the 20 has got to do something, and do it soon beacuse Dec 31 2013 is on the near term horizon.
As for those half a dozen numbers either at 20 times drawn or close to 20x drawn, I say play 'em! The 26 surprised me last nite. I had it on the line where I won 3 bucks, but when I picked it I didnt think it'd pop. It's now tied with the 40 at 20x drawn.
Hope all of this is worth something. I think I'm on the right track using that chart, but who the hell really knows??? G5
