Have a question for the mathematicians, and anyone else.
How many drawings does one need to prepare rationale and useful Pick 3 trend charts???
Personally, I've always believed that logging 'all' or 'combined' drawings was the best approach.
Texas has four Pick 3 drawings per day.
If all drawings must be considered, 12 numbers must be added to the appropriate tracking charts each day.
I'm learning through experience that processing 72 numbers per week is generating a lot of data that may be doing more harm than good.
The trend lines in some of my charts are getting longer and longer. As result, finding useful clues is nearly impossible.
So, the question is - do I blame my losses on outdated trend information, or, am I using faulty analytical techniques?
I'm beginning to believe that having too much draw information is the problem.
This raises a new question - how many drawings are sufficient?
I believe that my future analysis should be guided by one undeniable fact:
Drawings are independent events. That is to say that the results from a Day drawing has no effect on the Eve or any other drawing.
Therefore, I've decided that I only need the history for the drawing I spend money on, which is the Evening drawing.
This doesn't entirely mitigate the problem.
A new question is - how many drawings are needed?
I'm thinking that the last 25 drawings should be sufficient.
Many mathematicians are LP members. Be nice if one or more would offer some meaningful advice. -

The problem with crunching past data is the 'PRIOR' Data, which data are you analysing when every event is unique, ie every draw starts with 1000 combos. Trends/patterns evolve for each event, they may look familiar or similar but they are different- a digit 1 drawn previously is not the same as subsequent digit 1, why? the event parameters are different).
Find a method to create 'order/pattern/trend' , observed trends is usually after the event.

In other words to search for a trend, start by using a certain number of draws. If you see nothing, then alter the nunber of draws. Some say 5 is enough, but what trends one is looking for also tends to be specific to what you see. I personally use 7 draws combined. I also use 14 drawings combined. And then I also use 13 drawings combined. In my opinion from what I see that is enough. Some states however do not have Sunday drawings or change the number of drawings on a Sunday. Some states have surprise double drawings. Some states have 4 or 3 drawings per day. You could also use 1 drawing to observe a trend. All you do is search the past history for that one drawing for relevant clues. All that i have said is relevant to finding answers. However it is up to you to turn those answers into dollars. 100%
Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.
Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

I agree with you that a lot of tracking, while useful for learning how your state works or what it likes to do is good, it often leads to us having to make too many decisions when choosing our numbers. And one wrong decision and we end up losing, which happens way too often.
I've been trying to simplify the game lately, get back to the basics so to speak. (K.I.S.S.) I think skip and hit charts for the digits for the last 2 months is good to see what the individual numbers are doing, as far as patterns go, but what's happening right now is what you need to pay attention to. Who cares what the #4 or anything else did back in August, right?

Many mathematicians are LP members. Be nice if one or more would offer some meaningful advice.I used 30 drawings because it creates an average of 3 hits for each digit in each digit position as a base, but the only trends with digits are what to expected from probability. A digit trend might be over when it's noticed because a digit may "outperform" in the first 10 drawings and go cold in the next 20. And that creates "outdated trend information".
As for digits in any position, 30 drawings gives a 9 hit base or 20 to give a 6 hit base that could be used for trends like one or two digits repeating. A better approach might be defining the tread and then using the appropriate number of drawings.

Prior data in NM has alot to do with what hits next . The 71 pair hit again today as 177. The number 7 was cold and is now catching up to the rest over the last 25 games in the mid draws. The 75 hit gain last night as 557. Two draws before it was 745. The number seven followed from the eve to the mid draw. I use sums as an indicator along with hot,cold digits. Several repeat digits 062,063. Etc.
I usually go back 25 draws or more and look at hot,cold digits. I find charts that track from past 10 to 100 or more draws. As result I can use repeat pairs to select my bets.
I'm sitting here listening to Merle Haggard sipping some coffee!

Texas is a true draw state so they are humping the machines around into different positions to force randomness. It doesn't hurt to try and tell if draws tend to follow another or if they are totally successful at establishing random draws. For most systems you only need the past ten draws, but for positional digits straight followers you want about two thousand and have to use the top five = 125 wagers.

The best way to learn is to never stop being an Experiential Student! -
First of all, I appreciate the responses.
I think more information about my methods would be helpful.
As some of you know, I use the power of substitution to create and sustain my tracking charts.
I divide a lottery game into three major parts with each having a couple of supporting charts.
I then use the 'follower' concept to generate trend lines.
I analyze these individual trend lines and try to find the best answer to one major question - What's Next?
To win, my guesswork, which is based on intuition, experience, observation has to be correct several times.
However, being wrong doesn't automatically mean a loss because my final plays contain at least three options.
I have been playing Texas Daily 4 since it was adopted many years ago.
My initial efforts were complete failures.
Everything evolves and I finally found a method that is working often enough to make the effort worthwhile.
Here is what I'm facing.
I've divided a Pick 4 game into basically three pick 3 games.
Game 1 for digits 1,2, and 3; Game 2 for digits 4,5,6 and Game 3 for digits 7,8,9, and 0.
For GM 1, I have to choose 2 digits = 1 of 3 and then 1 of 2.
This same procedure applies to GM 2.
GM 3 has 4 digits. The challenge is choosing 1 of 4 and then 1 of 3.
The six chosen digits are then inserted into what I call 'alpha signatures.'
My choices for 0213 Evening drawing are:
CAAB/9126
BCBA/4962
CACB/7296
Total Investment - $6
I posted a copy of a $5200 win ticket in December.
Here is some support for my question.
Game 3 - 4 digits (7,8,9,0)
The follower string, also known as External Follower, after about 100 Eve drawings has 160 individual entries.
The spread is 1 thru 4.
The EF string has four Internal Follower strings.
The last digit in the EF string is 4.
The IF string for 4 is;
4/3334243324144131434423224223211414224433224421333.
Analysis
The last digit in the IF string is 3
Converting the IF to an EF string, the IF for 3 is:
3343214223233 - What's next?
I have a method to aid the guesswork.
My best guess is 3, which yields lottery digit 9.
I have to do this again to obtain the second Game 3 digit.
I've chosen 7.
My question is - Is the EF string too long, or should I continue on?
Ultimately, all the IF strings will become EF strings, forcing the guesswork to concentrate
on their individual IF strings.
Yes, it's complicated - but it works for all but a few lottery games.
I use the same method to correctly choose 3 of 5 in the Friday 0209 Mega Millions drawing.
Hope this clarifies the situation.
BTW - The lottery digits are objects and have no mathematical value. They are moved around according to certain rules of procedure.
There are no methods for tracking pairs, triples, hot and cold and other features found in math-based workouts. -

You're putting way too much thought into the game in general but, when I see where you mention a $5200 winning ticket, it all becomes null and void if that's accurate. I mean, you just don't fix what's not broken. Know what I mean? To be clear and honest, though, I question the total investment up until that particular win happened. That said, I believe you had maybe a 1/10 of that $5200 invested which makes it a top notch win. But, how repeatable is it? Can you duplicate that same win with that same method? This would be the true definition of a system. I tend to agree with Raven because what you're actually basing your system on will dictate what you need to do.
BTW - The lottery digits are objects and have no mathematical value. They are moved around according to certain rules of procedure.
There are no methods for tracking pairs,I highly disagree with you here. If they have no value, then how did come up with the odds/chances of winning? In fact, the payouts are directly based on those numbers and the odds of winning a given prize. The numbers must match. Tracking pairs is very easy and timing is the key.
I have only one question for you here. *Do you believe that lottery games are math-based?
Small games, frequent wins, and regular payouts 'cause.....
There are seven days in the week...'Someday' isn't one of them.

Thanks for your interest and comments.
I initiated this thread because I know, as a 'systems' player, that a lot of lottery gamblers are using various 'trend' strings to decide what numbers have best chance of winning.
These strings get longer and longer as more data is added.
I have a lot of strings.
As I've indicated, I'm beginning to believe that useful strings eventually become a liability.
Question is - how long is too long.
I was hoping that systems players who visit LP regularly know what I'm talking about and would offer some recommendations.
Apparently, there aren't many gamblers using substitution to guide their guesswork.
Looks like I'm going to have to find my own solutions.
As for winning $5200 in Daily 4, I'm confident that I'll have the needed matches in future - at a reasonable cost.
I took the cheap route in 2016 and won $2500 instead of $5200.
There are just too many bases to cover in a Pick 4 game.
One thing for certain - the more data one has to analyze a lottery game the better the chances of winning is a myth, in my opinion, of course.
My answer to your question about math-based system.
No, I don't believe lottery games are math-based.
It's a matter of chance.
I use the 'follower' concept in ALL that I do.
I apply limited arithmetic in generating what I call the 'GAP' string to make it dynamic.
I also generate a corresponding non-dynamic 'VALUES' string that doesn't require any arithmetic.
Not sure what I'm going to do going forward, but I'll think of something.
Yes, I sometimes feel that maybe I'm over thinking lottery analysis. LOL. -

Yes, I sometimes feel that maybe I'm over thinking lottery analysis. LOL.Yeah, I know nothing about your concept of 'substitution' at all and, in fact, I'm curious as to just what you're substituting as we're only dealing with numbers on a 0-9 scale. Then, those numbers create sums, even pairs, odd pairs, high/low digits, and all the other corresponding combinations within the preset mathematical possibilities. Anyhow, it seems to me that you're looking for more repeatability because your wins are maybe few and far apart...I'm just guessing. Been there, done that and have the losses as souvenirs. I respect your views on the lack of math required for this game but, I feel differently as it's actually the core principle...the basis of what allows me to fully maximize opportunities and consistency when I play.
Do you feel that $2500/week in profit would be decent?
Small games, frequent wins, and regular payouts 'cause.....
There are seven days in the week...'Someday' isn't one of them.

There are no methods for tracking pairs, triples, hot and cold and other features found in math-based workouts.Lucky Loser
The difference between math-based and substitution is that I don't track pairs, triples, etc as you do.
The one question I have for every substitution-based string that I use is - What's the next follower?
I come up with what I believe is the best answer by analyzing the string I'm working with.
Sometimes the answer is obvious, but most times it becomes a matter of guesswork.
I have to come up with minimum of 6 correct answers to win a Daily 4 prize.
I switched to substitution after years of mostly failure using math-based concepts.
All of the statistics, inventories, odds, etc, are created by humans.
The lottery balls can't communicate. They don't know a 'hot' ball from a 'cold' one.
The machines do what they are supposed to do, and they do it very well.
It's said, and I believe it, that a lottery game is a mystery in motion.
God only knows how much has been spent, will be spent, trying to unravel the mystery.
A frequent LP visitor named JadeLottery, a true-blue mathematician, believes that one way to win is to use the lottery's randomness against itself.
He has posted a rather involved method he says will help us understand what he is talking about.
Maybe folks who know mathematics can follow his methods.
I tried and failed because his concept is 10 miles above my head.
But, I have discovered that the randomness he refers to can indeed be observed when lottery game history is broken down into smaller pieces.
Unfortunately, uncovering the whole mystery is not possible, as a long history of lottery failures indicates, but the affects or effects can be seen, if only for a little while, in the various follower strings.
I try to take advantage of the trends and have had more than a little success in almost all of the 7 Texas lottery games that I track.
No jackpots, yet, but I intend to keep trying.
The small wins buy the tickets!!
Yes, $2,500 per week would be great, but I doubt many lottery gamblers are that lucky.
I review the lottery sales reports for Daily 4 frequently and there are few $2500 and $5000 winners. I'd bet Quick Picks are a factor in most of the big wins.
I've included a copy of a post where I describe how substitution is used to create and sustain tracking charts.
I've been doing it for a awhile and the follower strings are getting longer and, maybe, are obscuring some useful clues.
I'm not sure how to correct the problem without having to chunk the data and start over, but I'll come up with something. -
Given the number of folks who post their predictions, guesses, whatever, in the daily game forums, I thought I would get a few specific suggestions about my question regarding optimum length of trend strings.
I don't know if it's a matter of confidentiality or lack of interest.
I understand that some lottery gamblers are very protective regarding their methods.
Maybe the generation of tracking charts and subsequent analysis of the trend data they produce isn't as popular as I imagine it would be.
However, I think I may have found a good answer, which is 45.
A long-time and favorite LP member, RL-RANDOMLOGIC, has downloaded a free Pick 3 and Pick 4 tracking and analysis software, which can be found in the Lottery Systems forum.
I downloaded the Slider-II program and his tutorials in which he explains the various features and functions.
In the tutorial on game analysis, he states that the software evaluates the last 45 digits, he calls them 'chunks', in the trend string being used to choose digits for play.
Given his lottery experience, I'll accept 45 as a good number, and I plan to use it in my game and draw history trend strings.
Personally, I was thinking that 40 would be best, which is generally based on the number of columns in a regular sheet of graph paper! -

If 45 was a number chosen for evaluation based upon an analysis of trending, good, bad, or indifferent, it doesn’t matter. It is still based on a system. To change a part of the system without bones to back the change completely skews the entire basis of the system, thus illogic enters.
To remove 5 numbers from a set because data demonstrates the result is likely to produce a more accurate outcome is logic. To remove 5 numbers from a set because it is more convenient to a grid sheet is illogic and likely will skew the outcome negatively.
Of course any set of numbers has an equal chance of being selected… or does it?
I'm feeling a $312,000,000.00 jackpot win coming my way!
