Here are answers to your questions.
My workout breaks a daily lottery game into three major parts - A, B and C.
The initial step is replacing the actual lottery digits with substitute digits.
Here is the arrangement:|
Part A:
L# Substitute
8 1 aka 1A
9 2 aka 2A
3 3 aka 3A
Part B:
L# Substitute
7 4 aka 4B
5 5 aka 5B
1 6 aka 6B
Part C:
L# Substitute
0 7 aka 7C
6 8 aka 8C
4 9 aka 9C
2 0 aka 0R
This means that every lottery digit coming out of a lottery machine is replaced with
its designated substitute and recorded using a logging procedure for future analysis.
The substitute digits are recorded (logged, listed, charted) exactly in the order that they occur.
This action generates three separate and distinct streams/strings of digits.
The content of each string is totally dependent on the lottery machines.
For example, each time lottery digit 1 comes out, a 6 is recorded/logged in a string
called Main String B.
Everytime L# 8 comes out a 1 is recorded/logged in a string called Main String A.
Everytime L# 4 comes out a 9 is recorded/logged in a string called Main String C.
It goes without saying that these strings become longer and longer as more lottery drawing results are recorded/logged.
((Note: An unanswered question is how long is long enough??))
((I have strings that go back to June 1, 2012))
((There is no consensus because I'm the only User))
((I generally use the last 30 digits for analysis purposes))
String Processing.
Individuals with photographic memories might be able to view a very long string of digits
and make some mental calculations on how the digits relate to one another and other concerns.
However, average people, myself included, usually lack the capacity to make mental judgments simply by sight alone. We need help!!
The only effective way to define and understand a string and gain some idea of what the next digit could be is to break it down into smaller pieces.
This can be done in several ways.
One could take the last 6 digits, for example, and then search for repeats throughout the history of string. There could be 'hits' but not enough to provide any definitive answer to the What's Next question.
As the creator of this workout, I decided the best way to analyze the strings for useful 'hits' or repeats is to base the investigation on the last three digits in the string.
Of course, the identity of the last three digits will change each time a new digit is added.
Example:
Existing string: 46446 (last 3 digits = 446)
Add 6
New string: 464466 (last 3 digits = 466)
Add 44
New string: 46446644 (last 3 digits - 644)
To make the investigation worthwhile, its imperative that the individual 3-digit string endings be logged and tracked.
TERMINOLOGY
We know that any investigation involving a mixture of digits requires that all of the possible permuations be identified by name so that useful TRACKING CHARTS can be created.
I decided that, reading left to right, the first two digits in a 3-digit set at the end of a string be called PAIR.
Further, I decided that the last digit in a 3-digit set at the end of a string be called FOLLOWER.
As a result, we have PAIR plus a FOLLOWER, or PAIR+F.
STRINGS, PAIRS AND FOLLOWERS
There are three MAIN strings: Main String A, Main String B and Main String C.
Each String has a ending set of three digits that change as new digits are added.
When the content of each string is examined closely, one discovers that, regardless
of strength length, there are finite number of PAIRS and FOLLOWERS.
MAIN STRING A has nine different PAIRS: 11 12 13 21 22 23 31 32 33 and three FOLLOWERS 1, 2 and 3.
MAIN STRING B has nine different PAIRS: 44 45 46 54 55 56 64 65 66 and three FOLLOWERS 4,5 and 6.
MAIN STRING C has 16 different PAIRS: 77 78 79 70 87 88 89 80 97 98 99 90 07 08 09 00,
and four FOLLOWERS 7, 8, 9, 0.
HISTORY
The Pair+F arrangements by themselves don't provide a complete picture of where a lottery game has been and where it might be headed.
(History: Data based on prior/previous/known lottery drawings and/or subordinate data generated by a workout))
If the answer to the What's Next question is to be based on the string endings, it's important to know something about the individual PAIR+Fs as they occurred over a period of drawings.
To be useful for analysis, the specific information about the history of each PAIR+F must be organized and presented in a form that can be easily understood and maintained.
SECONDARY PAIR FOLLOWER STRINGS
The history of a PAIR is determined by examining its place in a Major String and recording it separately along with its FOLLOWER.
Of course, the place changes as more digits are added to the string.
This is a tricky procedure.
Example using actual digit sequence in MAJOR STRING B.
Step one-Decide a starting point for extracting PAIR+F history (30 consecutive digits recommended)
Given: 644446645445556664546655465554466
Step two - Prepare graph sheet with column headers: 44 45 46 54 55 56 64 65 66 4 5 6
Step two - Process the string by logging the +F for every PAIR in the string.
Refer to string given.
First PAIR+F is 64+4.
Enter a 4 in column immediately below 64
Next PAIR+F is 44+4
Enter 4 in 44 column.
Next Pair+F is 44+4
Enter another 4 in the 44 column.
Next PAIR+F is 44+6
Enter a 6 in the 44 column.
Next PAIR+F is 46+6
Enter a 6 in the 46 column
Continue until all PAIR+F sets are processed and logged.
NEXT DIGITS - Next digits are digits that occupy the space immediately to the right of a digit in a string of digits.
Step three - Return to starting point and log the digit immediately to the right of each FOLLOWER in the appropriate column.
The first FOLLOWER is 6.
The ' next digits' entered in F column 6 are: 4646646556.
The next FOLLOWER IS 4.
The next digits entered in F column 4 are: 444654556646
The next unprocessed FOLLOWER is 5.
The next digits entered in the F column 5 are: 4556454554
MATRICES
Aother way of analyzing digit history is using a Matrix to record the number of times
individual digits in a string follow each other over a period of drawings.
MAIN STRING A:
The matrix has 3 rows and 3 columns. A total of 9 individual cells.
The digit by digit occurrences are logged in the appropriate cell using a "dot" or other
small symbol. When a cell is filled, the dots are counted and the total written in the cell.
The dots provide a clues on which of the digit by digit pairings may be more popular
than others.
Here are the cell totals for Main String A.
The tabulations began at some time in 2013.
1 2 3
1 43 32 29
2 39 51 33
3 32 27 31
The matrix shows that Digit 1 has followed Digit 1 43 times, Digit 2 has followed digit 1
32 times, Digit 3 has followed Digit 1 29 times.
Use: If the last digit in Main Sting A is 2, the answer to the What's Next question could
be Digit 2, given it has a higher 'hit' rate.
SECONDARY FOLLOWER STRING MATRICES.
A matrix is used for each of the PAIR+F STRINGS.
For example using Secondary Follower String C.
Source is the PAIR+F STRING.
Matrix:
Columns 7 8 9 0
Row Pair77 3 10 4 5
The matrix shows that Follower 3 has followed PAIR 77 three times, Follower
8 10 times, Follower 9 4 times and Follower 0 5 times.
Each PAIR+F has a matrix at bottom of the graph sheet.
How to log data:
Step 1 - Get next Substitution digit (Base Foundation, Column III)
If the game being processed in Pick 3, there will be 3 new additions to the Main strings.
There could be one digit to be added to a string, two digits or three digits.
However, the digits are logged ONE AT A TIME.
REMEMBER - The digits are OBJECTS. Add means placing the digit in a column.
Step 2 - Add next digit to end of the Main string.
Step 3 - Update the Main string matrix (put a dot in proper cell)
Step 4 - Determine the next PAIR+F. (The last three digits in the string)
Step 5 - Refer to appropriate MAIN PAIR tracking chart.(I refer the PAIRS as pages. I.e.,
PAIR 11 would be Page 11, etc)
Step 5 - Enter +F digit in the in the Secondary +F string column below the Main
Pair.
Step 6 - Update the MAIN Pair matrix.
Step 7 - Determine the pair+F at the end of the Secondary +F string (last 3 digits)
Step 8 - Add the +F (3rd digit) to the appropriate +F pair column.
Step 9 - Add the +F digit to the appropriate single +F column. (If the digit is 3, add 3 to +F3
column.
How the data is used will be covered in a separate posting.
