I use DMP-HT and am trying to get better at it, but my selection and analysis skills need a lot of work! When I try to pick one digit per position, I usually get it wrong, which means I usually miss that position (and drop one prize level) unless I happened to pick that digit in an adjacent position (which usually means that adjacent position had the wrong digit). Picking more than one digit per position usually gives me too many lines to deal with.
For live play, I usually run out of time and end up reverting to DMP-BG to pick my combinations. My selection and analysis skills are a little better with DMP-BG, the filters help reduce more, and I can get a wider "spread" of numbers in my combinations. I kind of view DMP-HT and T-Lex as precision lottery tools. If one picks the correct settings/numbers, then one can win good prizes in a few lines. But a few wrong settings can spoil the lines badly.
I hope to improve my selection and analysis skills to make better use of RL's great lottery tools...

My advice is to run a bunch of after the fact setups. I have said this many times and doing these type
runs helps program our subconscious mind which I believe is critical. The tools I provide for analysis
should become very easy to select and the best value to play should pop out within the first couple
seconds. This will not always give you the correct value but you won't be spending too much time on
a setup. The HT program should take less than 5 minutes on a long analysis and maybe 2 minutes on
a good day. If you study the data too closely then everything will seem possible and the subconscious
cannot determined good from bad. The subconscious remembers everything. Make quick choices and
then learn from them. It's more about programming the mind than about analyzing data. The conscious
mind is improved by after the fact setups and the two, conscious and subconscious make a very good
team when working on random. I have released many softwares here at LP and you may have noticed
that they all contain the bias tool. Hard analysis works against us when dealing with random so try to
enter a state of mind where everything is possible. This may sound a little flaky but there is research to
back it up. Don't play when tired, sleepy etc and the best time to make decisions is early in the day. The
more decisions we make throughout the day the worse we do. Playing the lottery is a mental game where
we have to back off the math logic and use a different part of the brain.

Hi RL,
Thank you for the advice! I'll do more after-the-fact setups to train my subconscious. I spend too much time analyzing data, looking for something to unlock it all, but now realize that is probably a futile task since we are dealing with "randomness" and the lottery. I will attempt to alter my approach to go with my gut instinct or my subconscious like you mentioned. That should speed things up and hopefully help me pick correct digits and filter settings more consistently.
I doubt I'll ever be able to trap five-of-five number matches in 200 lines regularly, but if I did, then I would pool play to play all 200 lines without worrying about final filtering--hop over the wall instead of crashing through it! Then if the pool was fortunate enough to hit a jackpot or two, I would use my share of the winnings to begin playing 200 lines on my own. Hitting one four-of-five number match in 200 lines is usually a ~$200 profit in my 5/39, so if I can pick digits almost perfectly and set the initial filters correct consistently... maybe in my dreams! LOL!
Thanks again for your advice and sharing your fantastic software programs with us!

I agree. All we can really expect from a lottery software is for it to function as designed. If the user
is able to correctly set the options a good software will produce the winning set. Another thing I
believe is important is that one should be able to repeat the setup after the draw using different
settings. This IMHO gives the user lots of insight on what works best even if some values are not
correct. I don't mind when someone says my stuff is not for them as it all boils down to the user
being able to guess/predict the needed values. I myself read what others are doing and most of
the time can't make heads or tails of it and many times what I can understand I can't find any real
logic to using it. That does not make them bad, they are just not for me.
I have to have faith in what I am using that it will give me a better chance. Some stuff gives the
impression that it's sure to produce a winner in a short time but that's too often not the case. Most
of the stuff I release will produce but where they fall short is getting down to a playable amount. I
would hate to estimate the number of times I had a JP set in fewer than 200 lines only to loose it in
the final filtering stage.
My play budget is around $15 per game and I often drop below that. The odds for trapping the JP set
for my 5-39 playing 200 lines is 1 in 2879. Most all my softwares will perform far far better than that
but hitting below that level is pure chance.
The wall as I like to call it is the point where the lines are so similar from a filtering perspective that
they all look alike to the program. If we go beyond that level almost anything we do is sure to spoil
the outcome.

I started with the pick 3 game, because back then I didn't have any kind of lottery software, I wanted something in which to waste my time when I was not working and the lottery games seemed to be kind of interesting, people said that either a person wins by luck or that you just don't win, I wanted to see that by myself, I think that I had a few ideas, but if I did, I no longer remember what they were.
Anyhow, as things were then, I could not do anything at all with any of the lottery games.
Then I bought a used Windows 98 computer back on 2002 or 2003 and I found the lottery post either on 2002 or on 2003.
I looked around here and maybe found Amusingpick3s or whatever and maybe a few other people posting about filters for the pick 3 game.
That interested me and I read it, I read that there was a "Sums And Roots Chart" for the pick 3 BobP's site, I went there and got a copy of it.
I also read that besides the Sums and Roots filters that there were others such as the Even-Odd, Low-High, Etc.
I took a good luck at all of that it was all new to me.
Using those filters, a felt tip marker and a hard copy of the Sums and Roots chart for the pick 3 game, I started to box filter the 220 boxed pick 3 numbers right on the paper where I had the Sums and Roots chart I filtered boxed pick 3 numbers using the felt tip marker, for statistics I would write down on paper the last 4 to 10 past draws of the pick 3 game and do my stats there on those few draws by hand.
Then I would do the filtration(s) with the felt tip pen right on the Sums and Root chart marking off (on) putting ink over the pick 3 numbers that I was filtering out, whatever or whichever pick 3 numbers were left after I did my filtration those were the pick 3 numbers that were predicted those numbers should have a better chance to come out than the numbers that were filtered out.
That was not always the case, but I was learning and little by little I would learn more and more
Nobody thought me how to do that, there were all my very own ideas.
By the way sometime, I read that there were a few software programs out there that used filtration and I downloaded the demo trials and took a look at them.
Later or about the same time that I came here or a little later Ricky (Paurths) came and got interested in the pick 3 game and maybe also read some of my posts about he pick 3 game.
Oh maybe some time before that MikeK was already here on the Lottery post and I read some of his posts, he had made some pick 3 software and I took a look at those programs it was interesting.
Anyhow, both MikeK and Paurths were very interested in the pick 3 games and in pick 3 filters so I got to "talk" to them.
We helped each other, they were interested in filters and I was also interested in pick 3 filters, so MikeK made new filters software and Paurths made filters software for the very first time (as far as I know).
I liked both: MikeK's and Paurths's filters software for the pick 3 game so I no longer had to keep on using the Sums and Roots chart.
I did keep on using the last 2 to 10 past draws for statistics, but instead of using paper like before now I used MS Windows NotePad first for doing my pick 3 stats and then I used either MikeK's filtered wheeler or Paurths filtered wheeler, I think that at first I used MikeK's software and then I changed to Paurth's software.
Those filtered wheeler don't make predictions they are just filters tools, what to filter or not, it is all up to the user(s) of those programs.
I got used to that kind of thing. I did all my stats myself with the last 2 to 10 past draws with no stats software whatsoever and then I did my own filtration using a filtered wheeler.
So I am not used to having a software give me stats nor to having a software give me predictions.
I make all my own stats and I make my own predictions, using the filtered wheeler tool, for example for the pick 3 game Paurths' LotSoft FreeWheeler or Filtered wheelers by MikeK, both for the pick 3 games.
In the future, I would do the very same thing for jackpot kind of games such as cash 5 games, I would take a look at from 2 to 10 past draws do my stats on them using MS NotePad or by hand on paper and then I would use a filtered wheeler for jackpot kind of games, the only thing is that those wheelers don't have all the filters that I would like them to have, so I would have to use just what they do have.
Oh, well such is life.
Remember, all for entertainment, we have to kill time in some way or another.

I made many changes to improve the user interface, here are three pics for the setup, update and check options.
The program uses a single combined database which is set in the control panel, just input the states 2 letter code
and set the number of drawings per day. Next set which games you want to play, it will accept up to 4 drawings
per day. Once this is done the program can switch between pick-3 and pick-4 by pressing the game button on the
main menu. No copying databases or even loading them. The program allows playing the front and back or end
pairs for pick-3 and front and back trays for pick-4. Some states use the pick-4 drawing for the pick-3 numbers.
I think I covered everything for any type of draw. The manual update calculates the correct date even if the game
has four drawings each day. The analysis will cover just the data that is selected in the control panel so if we want
to just play the evening game and it's the second draw of the day then just tic the box next to 2nd draw. The user
can set which draws are included in the analysis data.
P.S. I had you in mind when I rewrote the program, see I do listen to feedback from people as you sent me several
PM's about the old version.
Here is another pic of the backtest option, it will check the lines in the draw file against up to the last 500 games in the
database.
Hot diggity dog, can't wait. I pulled out the old timey Slider and using the last date I ran 10 lines, cash four. Missed on the 6 following days. On the 7th day there is was a big straight on the 4th line.

Hi RL,
I dusted up the old slider program also, updated the draws and I am ready to rock and roll! Question: What criteria do you use for the slider letters A to M? Low, high, odd, etc? And, how does the program calculate, because MOST every line it produces is different. (A good sign?) There is also a few duplicates too. Check out below!
