Ok, I will have to look at it more closely. From what I gather Vtracs is a fancy way of saying mirrors. (Vtracs just means "VARIABLE TRACKING") Out of convenience and preference, I will be focusing on the 7/2 pair. I extricated data for the last 372 draws combined. This is a small sample. When doing pick 3 I prefer a sample size of two years. That is roughly 720 drawings. At twice per day it is only one year of time. In playing my other state I went back to Jan 1 2016. That is 720 drawings x 4 years= 2800+ drawings.
I would have gone farther, but the data set became unbearable with tons of omissions and duplicates.
I am assuming this data extraction has a high degree of faithfulness. Firstly I ran the 372 combined mid/eve draws through the Deflate fliter and come up with the following tiers of numbers. In pick 3 I prefer to focus on again only one mirror pair. If those digits are hitting faithfully, then I see no reason to necessarily change strategy. However if the 7/2 digit goes missing in EXHAUSTION, then I either have one of two choices.
1)Change my mirror pair (vtrac) to say 0/5 or some other pair and play different numbers or
2)Sit tight and wait until my mirror pair of focus comes back to life.
One observation that I have made, is that even though pick 3 has less odds than Cash 5 or Mega Millions, a particular digit can have a much LONGER exhaustion period. Exhaustion break is a term Gail made up in the LMG. Exhaustion means a long DORMANT period. I have no idea why but the Dormant periods in PICK 3
are quite analagous to those in Mega Millons or Powerball reaching upwards of 60 games and more. It was a great challenge to reconcile this fact.
That being said, I would prefer to sit tight, and hoarde up my money for when my mirror pair coming back into fashion.
In the following picture, each tier just means how many times that particular number hit in the last 372 draws. Its only six months of time. I will go back one year (720 draws), and perhaps two years, but I will need to prepare a macro, because it is quite tedious and time consuming to synthesize the separate filtered data sets. The value in going back farther in time is one can get a picture of how many dormant periods a particular number before it actually starts hitting.
I highlighted all numbers in the higher tiers that contained a 7. The top tier number is a "MIRROR pair as the 302 when mirrored is 307. Keep in mind I also generally only mirror ONE digit, as I see a general lapse of precision, as one clan claim, 'Oh I would have won, If I had only mirrored, this and flipped that." You could technically keep mirroring and flipping all your numbers till infinity, resulting in huge number sets and sloppy investment of money.
I will post on the boards, but I will probably not get in any midday numbers for live tickets, but I will probably play a three bucks multidraw one number and see if I can get some beginners luck, (box only) I try not to get greedy, and generally hold my straights until I get a win under my belt. Instead of a straight, I usually cover my wager with a front pair. I am all out of ice cream and cheese flavored popcorn, and will gladly risk death by Covid to get some at the supermarket today. I will also play some cash 5. Maybe two lines for two draws, as the JP rolls, and I still hate RNG and am going against all my ethics by playing it. I am quite far from the store, so I dont go back very often. If it rains I am f'ed. Since it is warm, I may try to make it to the store more often for the next three months. To bad the evangelicals in Congress will not let us play online in the correct capacity. It is going to be 90+ today, so I will have to time my trip for cooler hours.
#7 in position one, looks like it has another hit in it as a bottom, within the next three games.

Here is a sum chart with all the numbers associated with every particular sum. I have to get rid of the green triangles eventually and I noticed one column is two narrow.
(There is always something)
Although I do use excel to large degree, I do a lot of work on pen and paper. One thing that I am unable to do in excel is analyze the combinatorical skips.
I do not know how to assign skips to the numbers drawn, and thus cannot combine anything. I can manual put in the skips, but an automated process is much easier, so
If anybody has a macro that could do it, It would be appreciated.
Right now I only look at the flag formation and dormant periods for repeats in all three positions. With only 372 draws, I do not know at what stage we are in the algorithm or what the Max/Min trend is for the last two years.

I don't think there is a "new" discovery per se using the bell curve. IMO, there is a section of the bell curve that is optimal if one considers an optimal long term strategy. This could be related to certain Vortex Math Numbers, but I am focusing on what I know,( or have found to be generally true of the long term.) and am not hypothesizing anything at this time.
In Gail Howard terms, I am looking for the flag. Now flag is quite a crummy term for a pattern, and will not yield any results if you look in a dictionary or on wikipedia. so I am taking some liberties here to rename it as a NEXUS. Right now (based on skips) I see a potential nexus with sum 12. So i focus on those numbers. There were no top numbers in the deflate with sum 12. However if i MIRROR, the sum 12, I can mirror two ways. Up or down. If I mirror up, I get sum 17. There were some top tier numbers with sum 17, specifically, 728. By looking at the DSH, I know I like #7 in position one strongly. It is a clear bottom by skips and a developing flag formation, NEXUS. My strategy is NOT to play every combo for sum 12 or sum 17. My strategy is the 7/2 filter. Perhaps because I was born on the second of the month? But perhaps you were born on the 4th of the month. And perhaps you want to play the 4/9 vtrac filter method. Thats fine. DO YOU.
But again this is my general interpretation. This is how I hone in on numbers, reduce my sets, and wager in a conservative fashion. This is just a test right now. If you want to play liberally and laud yourself by playing $100 to win $250, be my guest. But as it says in the Old Lottery Testament, "Scared Money rarely wins.)
I prefer to have a full 4B chart of every number and every possible combinatorial variable. And I don't. I need a Macro for that. I can do it manually, but my desire is low to do so. I have reached out to my programmer to make the Macro for me, but dummy is stuck in a deep depression, and I can get him to name me a price. All he does he talk about killing himself. Its a real pain in my butt, to get this guy away from the Dark Side. ANYWAY,
This is my filtered BELL CURVE set. I will be only playing these numbers using my strategy. You dont have to follow my lead. You can play as many dang numbers as you please. If you budget is $30 bucks per day, have at it. My budget is $3 dollars pick 3. Box only, until I get a win. And $2 per day for cash five. I am only allocatting $40 bucks overall to pick 3 as I dont trust the rampant fraud that is waiting to happen with RNG games. I have seen it close up, and it is infuriating.
So here is my reduced set in the bell curve.

This is position one only. I like #7 based on its skip sequence. It is a reverse cascading bottom on the downside.
17 5 4 2. You can see the numbers are approaching zero. In this situation, 5 = 4 and 4= 2.
The following numbers are going on the boards, and if I can survive the Covid, the mountain and the bear, I will be playing the following in real life.
728 731 732 737 738 I am also adding one number here. Now I am breaking one of my rules so to speak as I am going to mirrow a non 7/2 system number. But I am communicating with my intuition, and it feels right, so I am adding it. But I will NOT go over budget until I win. If i dont get a win, then i will have to get out the sledge and work up another $40 dollar budget breaking rocks in Joe Bidens gulag. But right now I feel confident about what I see, and will expand into 4B pairs later. But I prefer the cash five (real balls) a little harder, but a rolling JP, so I will play also a two line wheel for two draws, as my multi-draw skills are really sucky.
So I am taking the 731 and I am going to mirror the 1 to get my sixth number to play of 736. We shall see. I am not guarentteing these numbers will come out. I cant really be 100% sure of anything. All I know for sure is that that Ice Cream is going to taste super uber sweet!! Covered with granola, hersheys dark chocolate chip, bananas, walnuts and a splash of milk. MMMM MMMM Good!!! I am getting diabetes just thinking about it. Good Luck Everybody!

A lot of one offs, in this draw. I played a 737. The 1 in the middle was a skip 29. I generally stay away from long shots like the plague. It is a bad habit to chase them. In this case it was also an adjacent, so perhaps I could have made an "exception" to my rule.
In my experience the 23 9 RC is also one of the worst patterns to chase. I call that pattern the Reverse Intermediate. It sucks balls. Is that pattern trending?
Now the P1-#4 is in a dormant period I think skip ten. I was wondering WinSum, if you have a skip chart for this game?
I freakin out of cash. I had to bust out the grimey nickels and dimes to buy my tickets. I had to go wash my hands after touching them.
I did play the 763 for evening. I only played 2 fitty. So I was one off again. I still think the #7 in position one is very strong. The support for the seven goes all the way back to the skip5. I would have played for today but I have no more cash. I do have a Cash 5 line in play for tonite. I didn't use my excel chart, so i was at a big disadvantage. I used Agold, but I didn't know where to start. My excel is so much better but I had fallen behind in the manual update. So I will do that tonite. Takes about an hour. Also when updating the AGold manually for some weird reason, it was skiping July 17 and going right to July 18. I will have to wait for the Monday auto update to see if thati is rectified.
I used the new scoreboard, which I liked and I ran with the #25 to repeat, and it didn't. So now it is at skip 1.
These are my two lines. I played multidraw, yesterday and today. I have to go beg for money later. I will go back to the store and buy more cash five tuesday maybe. They got the nice pork chops on sale too. I also forgot to buy garlic poweder. I also have to send money to a new friend I met on the Twatter.

600K is a nice prize. Updating my excel file NOW. Definatley wanna win this. My pops is going to visit me today. He is going bring me some cash. And Ice Cream!!! Just kidding. I have enough ice cream. But he did say he would bring cardamom for my tandori bacon burgers,

Ok dad is not here yet. I guess I will sit out tonite, but I will be in tommorrow for sure.
I have to clean his room. I put my extra clothes there. Also I dont know why this keeps happening. I had to copy paste into note pad for exporting of data from LP. Easy with a small set, but usually the A Gold is faithful. Why do these omissions keep happening?
Maybe we will order pizza tonite. I will go to the store maybe and get those pork chops. Who knows anymore.

I got off track a little lately, but I think I am back. This is the THIRD pillar of my methodology. (I used a Taiwanese website, forgive me if its the wrong character.)
I deviated a little.
Why do you lose? Lack of discipline. Like in the Conan movie, he lived by the Discipline of STEEL. But here on LP, we live by the discipline of numbers? Patterns? There is a great teacher on YT. Jim Rohn. He says when you stray from your disciplines, don’t just dawdle. GET RIGHT BACK TO THEM!
Drinking is a major stumble.
It took my ten days to feel normal again. So I am trying to stay sober in AUGUST. I need to go to the store everyday, and drinking just zaps your energy. There are clear indications to lack of discipline. One for me is I don’t do my YOGA regimen everyday at noon. I also fall behind in coloring my charts.
To be in every draw, also takes great discipline. I don’t like to do multi-draws, because the numbers are so hyper-rando-chaotic, that what you saw yesterday is not necessarily in line with today. When I do multi-draws, its mostly because I got lazy.
I once wrote down the ten commandments of lotto, but I don’t remember what they all were and the book is lost. I do remember for me its to play a repeater every draw. Also a skip 1. Why? Because these happen the most in a pick five game. For instance I have heard of people that brag that they hit a straight in pick 3 because they played the same evening number that came out midday. So all three numbers repeated in positions. But its an unsustainable approach in my opinion. Yes I have seen it happen, and yes thousands of players do this. To me this is the epitome of lazy and not very creative at all. But to each their own.
That is a big part of combinatorics.
Say you have positional variables. P1 for position one, P2 for position two, etc.
P1, P2, P3, P4, P5. That is five variables. Now if you take P1 + P2, you have variable number six. I don’t know of any standalone program that gives you a 4B of variable number six. However if you want to win a JP, you should know what it looks like going back at minimum 720 games. If you look closer at the 900K JP result that is what happened.
But I made a mistake. I powered up on the wrong number. I went for a 5 2 5 symmetry hoping for the four hit algorithm. Since I played a multi-draw, I was unable to play the P1 or P2 number to repeat on the big JP draw. I did not feel like making another trip to the store.
I also made a mistake yesterday. I saw a pattern and I mostly ignored it focusing on another pattern. (the other pattern still can come in.) I also played another multi-draw. It is virtually impossible to hit a JP with a multi-draw ticket. At best you could hit a JP, when you power up on a repeating number, and then hit when that power number decides to come in at skip 1 instead. I played a multi-draw for yesterday and today. But only because I did not really want to go out in this Typhoon. There will be hundreds of downed trees for sure. It looks like it finally stopped raining, and the wind has died down and the sun looks like it trying to peek through.
I was able to get to the store in 20 minutes yesterday which is a record for me. I was running late, so I didn’t break much going down suicide hill. I think I will start wearing my helmet.

This is my hybrid DSH/TGGC chart. It is supposed to be fully colored. Again Lack of DISCIPLINE. I will color it fully tonite after tonites results and will post my lines to play for tommorrow. I also need to print out some A+ charts, because I need help to hit a 3/5. I have not het a 3/5 or a 4/5 yet in this 5/43 So I need to dig a little deeper. Truthfully I have ZERO intution developed for this game yet. I hope to make some of my custom charts soon, and need to prioritize macros for high value combinatoric varialbles.
You should have one of these for anygame you may be playing. I used this exclusively for my first win of August, and the workout was very fast, maybe 20 minutes. For August second the w/o was considerably longer perhaps 3 hours, and I did get the feeling I was spinning my wheels. The update today was fast, but tonites w/o will be a good test and I hope to have the discipline to finish it early. I am trying to keep my w/o to one hour. One and a half max. I also have been using the scoreboard. What I have concluded is that with all the normal variables, and then adding the combinatorical variables on top of that, I am unable to remember the bigger picture, and have an idea for a solution. And since I dont have a large supercomputer with multiple displays, it will be ironically a pen an paper solution.
The pattern I was seeing was two Last Digits Three. for Aug 3. Also group three, and a possbile multiple 30's That is part of my combinatorics analysis.
That is shown clearly in line one.
I also used a separate hybrid chart that has the DSH side by side with a sorting pairs chart.
So far the least work has made cash. I also ignored a pattern on Aug second, got two numbers correct but could not match them up.
-
Here is the scoreboard and my general standard marking for patterns. I am thinking about making a grid to create a 4a off of this to try and help me to not change my numbers so much.
From looking at excel, (and certainly you could ascertain this from plus in varying ways) i noticed that there have been no skip 1 numbers in four games so it is "DUE". I put it in quotations because DUE is a non sensical term that means nothing really.
I played 20, 23 and 32 to repeat yesterday, and all I can pray for is that they come in at skip 1game now, and that I match with some other numbers. If skip 1game does not come in tonite, I will have to go all in on skip 1, and look deeper to see its worst skip in the last 720 games.
I also have about 7 or 8 dollars of un cashed winners that are floating around in various shoeboxes, so when I find those I may do a multi-draw with those winnings and get some of my much needed macros under my belt.
And here is my one winner so far for August.
Again after the first win, it made me thinki of Jim Rohn. He says ( in my best nasal voice) "In baseball, you get one hit in three at bats they pay you 1 million dollars! That means you go to the plate ten times and you make out 7 times. And guess what? They pay you one million dollars!"
Well I was only 1 for 3 for one game. I was almost 2 for 6. We shall see what beckons for tonite.
