  OUT OF THE KENO BOX 20 SPOT PLAY - Made Easy >>>>

  The idea of playing a way ticket based on 20 spot is often seen as daunting. With 20 numbers there are a staggering number of ways of ways & combinations available to consider.

  Still the 20 spot is convenient in one aspect. Our Keno draw involves 20 numbers each game. Therefore player can request a ball frequency report based on 10, 20,or 100 games & find out which 20 numbers have been falling most in recent games. And conversely player can check which numbers have rarely appeared or none at all.

  The debate goes on whether it's better to play so called 'hot numbers that have been coming up the most in recent games or whether to pic (due) 'cold numbers' i.e numbers that have been called infrequently or none at all. 

  If player's selection system is absolutely random, then there is no conventional mathematical support for any ball selection based on upon past performance. Balls have no memories & former & past occurrences are wholly independent.

  However small imperfections in the machines  will result in small deviations while things like missing or damaged balls or even an extra ball or two will seriously distort the results. I have eye witnessed a game whereas only 19 numbers showed.

  In the real world it makes a difference whether you play hot or cold numbers even though in pure math theory it makes no difference.

  Observations indicate that what ever number is currently showing is highly likely to repeat - so play hot numbers.

  12 is missing, now the cold number advocates will say that this 12 is 'overdue' & should come up in the near future.

  Likewise there is another number #7 that has come up more then it should based average projection that any number will show approx 25X in 100 games.

  Again there maybe damage or imperfections in the keno system that are affecting the game, does it make any sense to wager against this trend ? Old saying in the NYEX that "TRENDS ARE FRIENDS".

  Because the odds of hitting a Keno 15-spot are 1 in 428,010,179,098, finding the odds for a 20-spot are indeed useless. Jerry's Nugget offers a $5 20-spot special with an aggregated top prize of $100,000. And that's a terrible RoR in my book.

  "find out which 20 numbers have been falling most in recent games."

  I do something similar for predicting sets of 12 numbers for the 12/24 Texas All or Nothing game and after around 375,000 predictions, hit 11 out of 12 about five times. 

  Are the chances of hitting a 20-spot playing the most frequent better than playing 20 QPs?
