A review.
Substitution w/Gap strategy is a workout whereby a lottery game is broken into three parts.
Using game history, each part consists of rational and useful tracking charts that generate trend lines showing, in a broad sense, where the game has been and where it might be headed.
The User evaluates the detailed and individual trend lines and chooses (guesses) what the next piece of data could be, whether its alpha or numerical signatures. whole or partial permutations and or other useful data.
There's more to it, of course, but choosing winning numbers means making the right choices for the next drawing.
It goes without saying that trend lines require more than just a few entries.
I set up a workout with tracking charts to depict where the Powerballs have been, 41 drawings this year, and give clues on what the next PB# could be for the May 27th drawing.
The trend line in the Star Chart offered no useful clues on what the next pattern might be.
The Alpha Signature lines are, for the most part, contradictory.
The Sum charts are short and offer no real trends.
Bottom line, the best course of action is no action.
But, I went ahead and set up a Play Sheet, evaluated the data and made the required choices.
In a couple instances, the only viable choice was making a WAG, or, wild ass guess.
As result, I went on record and stated that the next Powerball number could be 2,3,4,5 or 11.
Well, I misread the data and went down the wrong path, which is part of the guessing game.
The winning Powerball is 23.
I know now exactly where I went wrong, and will have to adjust my thinking about repeating data.
I just didn't think the same set of data would prevail three times in a row!!
This presentation probably would be better if I were to provide more details about the workout, but, sorry, I'm not ready for that.
I've updated the tracking charts.
If my interpretation of the trend lines is correct, the Powerball for the May 30 drawing could be 13, 15, 20, 21 or 24.
Thanks for your interest.
