Patterns (or trends, I use them interchangeably) are part of every random lottery. Numbers are selected randomly but practically always they form certain patterns. These patterns can be observed and analysed. The fact that numbers in the pattern are random is irrelevant as is the fact that past numbers have no bearing on the future ones. What really counts are the patterns.
Patterns are really easy to spot. Just look at any current number frequency chart and any from the past. The charts themselves and the differences between them are patterns. You can observe a number of other relationships - patterns, again. In fact, any statistical computation or comparison will reveal patterns.
No question, observable patterns are present in any random lottery. They happened in the past, are happening now and will happen in the future. Take it for granted.
So, how can you use these patterns to your advantage? I see 2 approaches: historical and current.
Historical approach means discovering patterns in the past draws, sometimes going back hundreds of draws. Obviously, you will discover patterns that existed before. If they happened before they may repeat in the future. But there is a problem - timing. Like numbers in the lottery patterns are also random. A pattern may repeat tomorrow - or in 3 years from now. Trying to time the patterns (or the numbers themselves) is an exercise in futility - similar to herding 100 cats in the open field (never tried this one but failed with only 2 in a small house so I know the outcome). Patterns from the past belong to the past and should be left there.
The other option (and the one I use) is to identify and utilize patterns that are happening now. Patterns may vary in duration: be very short-lived, last for a while, or anything in between. Obviously, I look for the longer ones.
For identifying trends I use statistics exclusively. I'm not interested in metaphysics that are not connected to number predictions in any logical or statistical way.
I will use a Pick 3 as an example because the number pool is small, numbers are drawn frequently and new patterns show constantly. A frequency chart from the Wisconsin Pick 3 as of March 19th, computing 15 latest draws:
0 ------> 6 times
1 ------> 7
2 ------> 8
3 ------> 1
4 ------> 6
5 ------> 0
6 ------> 8
7 ------> 3
8 ------> 0
9 ------> 6
Avg - 4.5
Quick analysis - numbers 2 & 6 did not end up on top of the charts in one day, 5, 8 & 3 did not nose-dive in one day either. It took them some time to reach their respective positions. These were their current (or most recent) trends. These trends LASTED for some time and during this time they could be detected and used. That's all that counts for me.
The chart below demonstrates how the numbers performed in the past 15 draws (frequency increased, decreased, about the same):
0 ------> 3
1 ------> 1
2 ------> 6
3 ------> -4
4 ------> 1
5 ------> -4
6 ------> 1
7 ------> -5
8 ------> -3
9 ------> 4
Again, numbers 0, 2 & 9 did not get into positive trends overnight, nor 3, 5, 7 & 8 lost popularity instantly. These charts together indicate that during the last 15 draws a small group of numbers dominated the draws hitting repeatedly and much more often than others. These trends could be clearly identified after 1 week and the second week used for playing. And it showed in the results - big time.
Since mid-November I've been running a simulation for Wisconsin Pick 3. I measure the results on weekly basis. All my predictions are based on short term current trends. I seldom analyse more than 25 latest draws, usually 15 to 20. Understandably, if the selected trend is effective it will win in a given period of time. The average winning ratio is about 51% at any given time. Usually 1 and occasionally 2 trends score above average at the same time. But for the week ending March 19, because of the high concentration of numbers, there were 3 winners in related, but not the same, categories: Hot numbers (the best of the pack), Repetitive numbers (must hit repeatedly in short period of time) and Due-to-Hit numbers (must hit consistently at regular intervals). Each trend lasted for 7 days and won every day.
Identifying a trend does not mean that it is going to be successful. Backtrack is needed - verification that the trend carries a promise for the near future, based on its most recent performance. Such an evaluation is simply necessary.
What I also observed since November is that none of the trends ever extended over 7 days and many were much shorter (so much for playing the same numbers for a long time). Also, no trend repeated from week to week and those that repeated (there were such) did it at random with no observable pattern (so much for timing the patterns).
To sum up, trends do exist in all random lotteries, can be identified and used for predictions. If you consider using trends for predicting numbers concentrate on what is now, current, forget the past. You've got an example that it can work, and frequently.
