While many lottery gamblers disagree, winning a lottery prize is generally decided by two main factors:
1. Rational tracking charts that define lottery history in useful terms.
2. Our mental capacity to evaluate data trends and make correct choices.
In other words, our wins and losses are governed by the quality of our guesswork.
Unfortunately, almost all of the tracking schemes we use eventually lead to stalemate.
That is, too many seemingly good choices.
Are there any alternatives, other than spending more?
The answers depend on our personal beliefs regarding lottery gambling and the accuracy of our strategies.
Lottery Post member BobP, a recognized lottery expert, says there are two components to lottery play - mathematical and holistic.
He qualifies his belief that the mathematical strategies are not predictive.
He defines 'holistic' as methods where multiple data is evaluated and guesswork is applied to decide what could happen next.
I employ the holistic approach where I use the power of substitution to generate and sustain several tracking schemes that aid integer selection.
But, like those who believe there is a mathematical solution, I sometimes have to deal with too many good choices.
I call my solution - WAG, or, Wild Ass Guess.
This method entails detailed analysis of two data strings - Gap and Value.
Here is an example of two independent strings consisting of consecutive followers that are used to choose the first letter in a 3-letter Alpha Signature for the next Texas Pick 3 play.
GAP - 4313441422231121434221141212323441144
VALUE - 1224311212133311432322211221312433312
Please note:
I realize I may be using terminology that might be foreign to some players.
However, I don't plan on presenting any explanation of how my overall system works and how data is generated.
I believe any true system player will be able to figure it out.
WAG analysis.
This is a mostly mental exercise. The more experience one has in weighing lottery results the better the chances available clues will be uncovered and used to make correct choices.
External Followers - The complete string.
GAP begins with 4 and ends with a 4.
VALUE begins with a 1 and ends with a 2.
Internal Followers - A specific string based on the last number in the whole string.
GAP - Ends with a 4.
VALUE - Ends with a 2.
The task is construct a string showing the followers for the last number in the string.
GAP - Internal followers signified with '/'
4/ - 3412321414 - What's Next (1,2,3,4)?
VALUE - IF
2/ 241132212214 - What's next (1,2,3,4)?
A correct choice from either string will yield a number having the best chance of providing the correct first letter in the Alpha Signature.
Again, this is a mental task. Some notes are helpful but there are no supporting structures, no pair analysis, no inventories, etc.
It's guesswork, pure and simple.
I used the VALUE IF and made a choice - '3', which, using other means, suggested that the letter I'm looking for is a 'C', which, by the way, was the correct choice.
However, one of my three final integer choices was incorrect and I lost $4.
So, what's the point in all of this??
I'm just demonstrating an alternative solution to a holistic workout problem where individual effort and ability to analyze data is on display.
Thanks for your interest.
