I read the post and here's the problem with that. We would most likely end up with 15 list of numbers
without a 5of5 unless the members set the filters very wide in which case we would most likely end up
with almost as many sets as there are in the matrix to begin with. If everyone ran a setup where the
sets returned were in the 10,000 line range for each player the odds of one of them having the 5of5
are slim. I can most plays trap the 5o5 for my 5-39 in less than a 1000 lines and many times less than
500. I am working on methods that should allow us to trap the 5of5 for the big games in 50K or less
without filters. 50K lines is like palying a 5-25 game and should be easy to filter down to a playable
amount. Read my reply to BH on the previous page to see the method I am working on. If I can get
the members to just take there best shot at a full group setup and select 3,4 or 5 groups depending
on what they think the TG filter will be, this would give say 15 different group line up's and I could run
each one one at a time exporting the sets returned from each into the main file. Next I would set the
filters and run all the sets in the main file through the filters using the RFM option. I could also make
one final run using the top choices from everyone. This would put us in a very good position to hit some
good prizes. There are only 252 different ways to pick a 5 group setup and if we have 15 members each
providing one then the odds are 15 in 252 or 1 in 16.8 of having the 5of5 within the sets produced even
if we make our selections at random. If each person can do even a little better than random then our
odds will be even better. While there is no magic wand I think we can make some very good choices
and hit some good prizes. I had 6ea 4of5's trapped in a little over 400 lines yesterday but lost them
using the RAC to reduce. Stuff happends and we can only do what we can do but if we work out a
plan and stick with it we will win. Doing a setup in this manner frees up all the other filters to be used
in the final cuts. I was working with 150K sets last night after the group runs and had the 5of5 trapped
in those sets. that is only 3% of the sets in the entire matrix. If each person made a full setup using
all the filters then we would have nothing left to work with in the final stages. I have not played the big
games much at all but I am seeing ways we can knock them down to size.
