Non-Mathematical Tracking Charts - Part 5Prev TopicNext Topic
-
When I decided to post my non-mathematical (systematic) workout, I knew that the initial interest would eventually fade away.
Face it! A majority of people want to win a lottery prize with the least amount of effort possible.
Breaking lottery game draw history down into multiple pieces for detailed analysis isn't something a lot of people are interested in.
At the same time, some people who have the time and interest have trouble with the 'analysis' aspect.
There are many factors to consider but solving a basic cryptogram found in many Sunday newspapers is a good way to understand and learn lottery analysis.
Basically, the puzzle includes a 'clue' as a starting point.
The clue is the identity of a single letter.
The solver then applies his/her knowledge of English grammar to uncover the identity of other letters resulting in full recovery of the underlying text.
Lottery analysis in not so different.
You use what you know to guess the potential identity of winning digits/numbers within the confines of a lottery game matrix.
The more you know about where a game has been (history) the better the chances of discovering where it could be headed.
All you need is a basic understanding of the various data bases in the workout, and how they were generated.
So, if you take the time to break lottery draw history into smaller pieces, the potential clues that help answer the 'what's next' question can be discovered and used to find digits/numbers having the 'best chance' of being in the next winning combination.
Of course, it's 'educated guesswork' having no guarantees.
All we can do is apply our individual mental abilities and experience to construct permutations/combinations that we think have a chance of winning.
I've provided the structure of a systematic workout that track lottery game history in ways that generate data 'strings' and 'follower' charts that guide the selection of individual digits/numbers that are ready to play,
A 'string' is a single line of consecutive data that has a beginning and is expanded on a draw-to-draw basis using specific rules of procedure.
A 'follower' is side-by-side pieces of data.
For example: Given 1.2.3.4
Digit 2 follows digit 1, digit 3 follows digit 2, digit 4 follows digit 3. The follower for digit 4 is to be determined by draw results.
A question that frequently arises about lottery analysis is how many prior draws are needed to construct a useful data base.
Unfortunately, there is no single answer.
It all depends on the game being tracked and analyzed.
As I've indicated, Texas Daily 4 is my game of interest.
Texas has four drawings per day or 24 drawings per week.
I spend money on the Eve (6 pm) drawing only.
I have six separate workouts - one for each day of the week.
Why six?
Lottery drawings are separate events.
In other words, each drawing stands alone and has it's own individual merits and trends.
Therefore, mixing or combining results in one workout could possibly provide false clues.
Given that there is no way to know for sure, the best approach, in my view, is to use one data set for each drawing.
Another question is whether or not systematic workouts are equal or better than math-based workouts.
I once believed that mathematics was the answer to winning a lottery prize.
Not anymore.
The daily LP postings show that there are many math-based varieties, including some lottery systems.
Given the number of Pick 3 games being played nationwide, it's safe to assume that just about any Pick 3 permutation/combination is going to win somewhere.
So, the question is - does the win mean the math-based workout is valid and can win consistently, or, was it just a one time, coincidental victory??
Does playing multiple permutations/combinations constitute a winning strategy? I don't think so.
Odds, probability, percentages, statistics are the basis for other strategies, but the jackpots are being won with quick picks.
No, I haven't won a jackpot but I'm winning often enough to make all the work worthwhile.
It's just a matter of time, in my view. -

The first thing you have to do is stop thinking that past results have any effect on future drawings. They are independent drawings (i.e. zero covariance).
As an example, the probability of winning a 6/49 lottery is 1 in "49 choose 6", which is 1 in [49! / (6! * 43!)].
"n!" is "n factorial", which is n*(n-1)*(n-2) ... *3*2*1. For example, 6! = 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720. The Excel formula =FACT(n) will do this for you.
In general, to win a game of match A numbers out of B choices is going to be 1 in B! / (A! * (B-A)! ).
Lower prizes and games with a 2nd ball draw (Powerball and Megamillions) are more complicated but still not too bad.
Look up the odds of winning a 6/49 lottery game and see if you can replicate the calculation.
The numbers you pick all have the same probability of winning. The only difference is how many people you have to share the jackpot with, in which case you should avoid numbers people often choose (e.g. 7 because it's "lucky") and choosing numbers other people avoid (e.g. 13 because it's "unlucky"). Use other people's superstitions to your advantage to reduce the chances you have to share the jackpot.

Tucker, thanks for your comments.
It's too bad that you are singing the sad, old, and worn out song about how great mathematics is when it comes to lottery play.
I've been in LP for a long time and have encountered only a couple of math-based strategies that won a significant prize.
They can be best described as 'one time wonders' that showed up and then disappeared without a trace.
It's really sad that the anti-lottery history crowd doesn't pause and take a close look at the draw results of any lottery game.
If they did, they would have to agree that game history strongly suggests that the lottery is a more or less a living entity that is moving forward at an erratic and unpredictable pace.
If this were not true, there would be significant repetition and many winners.
Unfortunately, no mathematician has claimed to have discovered a formula that defines draw history 'trends' in any useful way.
All they seem to know is odds, probability, percentages, statistics and other schemes that are, as we say in Texas, 'all hat and no cattle.'
I don't claim to have found the secret of winning.
What I'm saying is that non-mathematical tracking charts can show trends that, in turn, can be used to identify digits/numbers that 'could' be in the next winning permutation/combination.
Lottery play is all about guesswork, in my opinion.
However, developing and maintaining a 'systematic' tracking workout that supports 'educated guesswork' apparently requires more time and effort than the average lottery gambler is willing to give.
I've been asked to provide another example of how 'trends' can be found and used to choose winning numbers.
The following is the Gap worksheet for Main B, which has been described in earlier posts.
Main B in Texas Daily 4 is for lottery digits 4,5 and 6.
The last three unmarked digits in the Gap string are 123.
The last digit is 3 which means that the next Main B digit will be found in Follower Group 3.Sum2 - 6654454453454333
F3------3322231321322121
Sum3 - 9987676766667554The lines are extended three consecutive cells to show the possibilities.
Sum 2 - 234
F3 - 21
Sum 3 - 456The last digit in the F3 line is 1, so the next Sum2 digits are 2,3 and 4.
The total of the last two digits in the F3 line is 3, so the next Sum3 digits are 4,5 and 6.Can you spot the trend in the Sum 2 line?
Reading the line left to right, the Sum 2 totals are progressing from 3 to 6.
Digit 2 seems to be out of place, so the next Sum2 digit could be 3 or 4.The trend in the Sum3 line is erratic but increasing from 4 to 9.
The next digit could be 4, 5 or 6.The F3 line (External Followers) ends with 1.
The Internal Followers are 332.The next digit in the F3 line could be 3. If so, the Sum2 is 4 and Sum3 is 6.
Therefore, if F3 is the final choice, the next Main B digit, reading right to left in the Gap line, is 1, which, according to the substitution key, is lottery digit 4.Yes, the procedure is involved, but it's standard procedure for all worksheets and easily learned.
It ought to be really apparent that a systematic, non-mathematical workout gives the User full control of his/her lottery destiny, and is, in my opinion, well worth the time and effort.
Thanks for your interest. -

"The covariance of independent drawings of lottery numbers is zero. That is a fact (regardless of whether you choose to believe it, it is a fact).
What you are seeing -- trends -- are random. For example, if you flip a coin 20 times, if you were to observe HTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHTHT, while it seems "ordinary", actually that would be unusual.
I created these series of coin flips (using Excel, as it's quicker than actually flipping a coin), and as you can see, none of them look like that.
HTHTHTTTHHTHTTTHTHTH
THHTHHHTHHTHTTHTTHTT
HHHTTTTTTTTHTHHHTTTH
TTTTHTHTHTTTTHTTTTHT
THTTTTHTHTHTTHHHHTTH
There are "trends" in there of repeating heads and repeating tails. Unfortunately, you don't know you are in a trend until after the fact.
In other words, trends (or "due" numbers, same concept) only occur in the rear-view mirror. Because you have to bet on future drawings, which have no trends, you only have probability to help you, and nothing else. In this example of a coin flip, there's a 50% chance of H and 50% chance of T, each and every time.

Thanks for your interest.Yes indeed....the trend is your friend holds true in all forms of chance...been developing systematic approaches to all forms of chance for 35 + years casino & lotto etc. And would not do it if didn't get positive results.
