Much to my surprise, only 10 days. I've found that if I go back more than 15 days the hits go way down. I've been concentration on data so much, it never occurred to me to look at patterns. Now I'm trying to make sure I don't let any of my preconceptions get in the way. I can't believe there's a repeatable pattern that actually gets hits. Don't get me wrong, everything has a flaw. I think it was April or May of this years. There were only a few patterns and even fewer hits. On the other hand, in August there were 9 pattern matches. Three haven't hit but still have some time:
066, 064, 065, 026, 024, 025, 016, 014, 015: Playable until 9/5
706, 700, 701, 796, 790, 791, 766, 760, 761: Playable until 9/6
431, 432, 438, 731, 732, 738, 831, 832, 838: Playable until 9/13
July had 14 pattern matches and two missed. The first miss there was weird, I probably wouldn't have played it anyway. The second matching set was the same as the first, which I haven't seen before so I wasn't sure what to do with it. I'm attempting to come up with 'rules' to follow to get the most hits. I have a small list as it stands. Still working on how to get a straight more often than not. I've been working on a spreadsheet that keeps track of the patterns. Hoping that will shed some insight.
There are 9 possible ways to play the numbers once a pattern match is found. In July, two configurations hit 4 times. The others hit less than that. So if one of those configurations were played every time. Out of the 14 pattern matches, 2 would have missed completely 4 would have hit straight, 8 would've been boxed. So, I'm trying to either reduce the playable numbers (9 isn't bad, 3 would be great) or finding out which configuration to use.
