8 Games…..39/5=7.8 rounded to 8 Games Gives Every Number the Opportunity to Hit at least 1 Time.
La Igrok posted his Method of Playing Jackpot Games a while back. He showed up with a Book and a Picture of a Very Nice Big Check from the California Lottery for a share of a Fantasy 5 Jack Pot. Standing on that Pile of Cash, Igor is emphatic that his Method is the ONLY WAY that this Lottery can be Won with a Strategy and that All other Systems are based on “Alternative” Math and any Wins result from Luck and not the System itself. Absolute Statements, in this case “My Method is the Only Way” should always be subject to scrutiny. I am Not ready to Drink the Kool Aide, YET, and here is Why.
I will begin by Giving Credit and Praise to Igor for being the First to present the Idea of the 8 Game “Round” and for pointing out an observable expression of the 2/3 Rule. That Rule and Reality, at the End of 8 consecutive games, 1/3 of the numbers (1-39) will not be Drawn. In the last 409 Games of CA Fantasy 5, the Average of the Undrawn is 33.5%. The High Value is 46.2% and the Low is 17.9%. That is a big variation and is the Obstacle that must be overcome. Reality here is that this variance makes predicting difficult; but, out of 409 Draws, this percentage has been exactly 33.3% in 92 of those Games. Certainly the 7 Game Count is an indicator of Something; but, it Can be misleading. Relationships and Tendencies are apparent. I will have a detailed analysis of this Relationship Soon. It is near the Top of the To Do List.
I will again give Credit and Praise to Igor for the 8 Game Round. When you Look Closely at one of these rounds, you can see Exactly where the Hits come from as you go from Game 1 to Game 8. You can do this with Igor’s use of “Structures”. These Structures are a 5 Digit Sequence of 001,002 or 003. These 3 Numbers represent the Current Hit Values after the Test Game is Drawn. In Effect there are 4 Groups. The No Hits, 001=Numbers hitting once, 002=Numbers hitting twice and 003=Numbers hitting 3 or more times in the 8 Game Round. I am pretty sure that I have this Correct. By the Way, I have exchanged several Emails with Igor. I tried to make the point that the Basic Concept was Elegant (the 8 Game Round) and that it set off a Storm in my Brain. Because, I have used Groups to track games, These New Formations were like Drugs to an Addict and to be honest, probably the best on the “Market” that I have seen or created in my own Lab. Every question that I tried to ask was answered with a Statement that the only thing you needed to know was in the Book. A little bit of background needs to be addressed here. I have great respect for MrB and High praise and appreciation of Igor’s Idea. I was given the option of being in a Group or Company that was forming. That Group apparently includes some other LP Members but, I know nothing about it beyond that. The only thing I do know is that this Group is developing a way of automating the Method with a Computer Program and that Igor might have a touch of Gold Fever from their progress. I guess I am just plain stubborn, my detriment if the Group Begins to hit the Big ones. Unfortunately, “Read the Book” was not enough of or a very good answer for my Storming Brain. I completely understand what a Company is, and the Need for everyone to be on the Same Page. The goal is Jackpots. The Mission Statement is to Use Igor’s Method to do this by Automating and Programming the Process. That focus eliminated any more Brain Storming and New Ideas. Read the Book and you will be welcome was my only option if I wanted to participate. I do not Disagree with the Requirement and understood that it’s acceptance was mandatory. I just wanted to open a dialog about the Cycle and some of my thought on it’s use. The Response was…”neither I nor Mark need and want to get aboard some sort of a "loose cannon" as another partner of ours. We all have to speak same language and understand each other from the first word to the last absolutely in order to avoid even slightest possible misconceptions. Apparently this is not the case with you. But we two already have a plan and our own to do list and the strategy which we hope will eventually lead us to the ultimate success.Therefore we don't have nether time nor willingness and necessity to somehow adapt it to your intellectual performances. We are in business and not in circus.” That pissed me off. Not because it was Wrong; but, because it showed me something about Igor. Being unwilling to discuss any basics did not Set Well. It begins to look like a Cult or Church with Its own Bible. There is No Way but MY WAY is the Mantra that I cannot Accept and therefore I am not in the Group. The thing that Really pissed me off was being dismissed for asking a few questions. I accept the Brand, but I am not a malcontent. Expressing admiration and producing an Excel File that showed the History of the Structures, I was Rebuffed because I was holding off on buying the Book. I could not even get an acknowledgement that my Structure was the Same as Igor’s. I am pretty sure that it is; but, I don’t Care any more. I am not saying that I will not buy the Book. I just want to Brain Storm a little more and I’ll be honest, find out if there is Another Way.
In the coming days, I will have a few ideas to run by you all. I can not say for sure if these ideas are very similar to Igor’s; but based in his statements, I am probably not smart enough to think of anything that resembles his method. That being said, I am going to Stay on my own path. Any similarities will be pure coincidence as I have been assured by Igor, that my Ideas are in no way Similar (he might want to actually read what I sent as it appears that he only absorbed the Notion that I was a Contrarian).
For Now, I wish Igor and Mark and Company success. I Only hope that they do not ruin the Game by being to successful. Could you guys save a few games for the Rest of Us when you Crack Open the Game?
More to Come.
