I only use AG for chart 6. Skip chart. I do most of my analysis in excel. Especially my custom "combinatoric" variables. Most of Gayles pitch for the program was the bias in odd/even and for low high. I almost never see a bias so i began to NOT use those charts.
I am a little partial to AP for some reason. But my flash drive crapped out, and I have not bothered to replace it.
Funny thing about advantage gold is its little quirks.
For example in one state I was contacted regarding an 8 odd bias, and when analysing the data the odd even bias history has a column graph. But in my state it only has a table. Why? I am more partial to the picture than the actual data. I guess I can add that question to the other 15 i have for Mr. Hicks.
Maybe the program name could be changed to Anamoly Gold?
My workout and manual update in excel takes about 1 hour. That is even before i have made any lines. So i usually I am not even motivated to do any more work in the smart luck program.
If I am on Twitter, or watching Agent 17 videos, than my excel workout can be drawn out to 1 and 1/2 hours. (Gina Carano is trending with Cancel disney plus BTW.)
I have to go on a YT and Twitter fast. And today I tried to do just that.
With the new found extra time, I did a full A to Z chart workout in Adv Gold. I did 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D. Then I hit a wall. I had to stop and take a break.
The TGGC does not have the bar charts anymore. So there is a lot of reading within that chart to understand the bias. Four different tables I think. And reading the pop up hints, to try and make head or tails of what I am looking at is tiresome.
What I like about Gold is the ability to export data into excel. I have tried exporting most chart from different states. But I keep on running into those dang anamolies. Which then I have to fix. Or just abandon the export all together.
Take the chart 4b for example. In my opinion the 4b is the holy grail chart of the program. I first exported 4b from SLAP many years ago. A member from the Old Facebook group walked me through it. It was around 5 steps. I dont know if I could do it now. I rearranged the data into what I think is the best for me.
The 4b is read from left to right as most of you know. The export was messy and time consuming to rearrange but I did it and won a 4/6 with the new layout in only 5 lines.
But in Gold the layout of the export is different than the gooey in gold. When exported it reads from right to left. Just the like the small hats books. Its very annoying.
Nowadays I dont really bother as I can make a 4b chart using filters in excel, and honestly I am a little embarrassed it took me so long to figure out how to do it.
In my game i have made a modified 4b for number 1 to 19 so far. But that is flying half blind. During my YT and Twitter fast, I hope to finally finish 20 to 39 in preparation for the spring.
When I can automate the mod I will share it.
Chart 4 is my favorite in gold, but limited in scope. I have one in excel. Top to bottom.
In case people dont know what the 4b is here is an example. It reads left to right. Chart 4, 4a, and 4b are all related.
Whenever I start my workout, I always print out 4b. You have to find the streaks and the dormant periods. The challenge is how do you define your algorithms, and what algorithm works best for which game. Is their a standard? Perhaps.
After printing i do my pattern recognition with colors. But to print out say 8187 draw of 4b data is going to be unmanageable to analyze. I usually only print 180 as it easy to see hot and cold numbers plainly.
The regular 4b works decent IMO if you reduce the range to perhaps 90 to 180 draws.
I make a custom 4b-mod for 720 draws as that is all you really need to find a trend. With that I got a good pin on what is more likely to exhaust out. And if I am really confused I may go back 1440 with a modified 4b to find symmetry in the bottoms. After 1440 draws I find things begin to become unmanageable and too time consuming. For me anyways.
