So I took a bit of a break from lottery stuff. Didn't have the time. Of course, I love testing theories so it was only a matter of time. Since I've been "back", I've been testing patterns. They seems to treat me much better than trying to predict. From there, I've just spent time going through the Florida numbers, testing various patterns to see if it would be worth playing. Then it occurred to me that I could just code the testing itself for the patterns. It tooks some work but I finished it. Then I started testing a few patterns. Each pattern takes some time to code so this has taken a bit of work. I was rather dissappointed that over the course of a year, every pattern would have lost money in the end. Until now. I found a patter that would have actually turned a profit for 2013. So then I tested back to 2009, just to see it was a fluke for 2013. Here's my data:

Without going through what everything means, the column to look at is "NET". Year over year, it would have made money. I've taken human picking out of the equation since the code went through and tested it. So all I have to do is run this code and it'll tell me what to play. At the end of the year, I'll have more money than what I spent. But, before I run off and do this, I would like a sanity check. I need another SQL developer to check my work to make sure I didn't make a mistake. That's why I'm posting here. Are there any SQL developers here?
