OK so to better explain what we are really doing here we need to look at stastics. When we look at numbers that are less likely to
come out we can see that this is something of a dice roll. How many times have you looked at hot and cold numbers only to notice
that a cold number came out when the frequency count says it should not have come out because it come out less frequently than other
numbers. So what are we left with that actually works? We need to look at some history of the game. But how much?? Most software
we have seems to either ask you for how much history to use or limits you to 10 to 50 draw increments. This does not tell you the
ideal amount of history to use. Since no one has made any software that I am aware of that does this we need to use a spreadsheet
to accomplish this task. create a list of the last 1 year of pick 3 game history from the state you play in. Each number needs to
have its own cell in the spreadsheet, meaning that if for example you have the number 123 it should be one digit in each cell not
all 3 in one cell. In the next columns you will use the following formula to find the digits one at a time 0 thru 9. It will look
like =IF(COUNTIF(A1:C1,0)>=1,ROW(A1),""). If you placed your game history starting with cell a1 going thru the last cell of game
history the row section of the formula will be in correct alignment with the number of games in the game history. in the next column
you will use formula =IFERROR(SMALL($D$1:$D$730,ROWS($D$1:D1)),""). In this formula you notice that the "D" cells go 1 thru 730,
this is because in my state we have 2 pick 3 games held twice per day 365 days per year, which gives 730 games per year. Be sure
you copied these formulas and pasted them down the column for the complete history of your game. Also this formula simply creates
a list of row numbers where a 0 came out starting with the most recient to the last game where a 0 appeared. It does not show double
numbers. It only shows that a 0 appeared in that game which is what we want for the basis of this sheet. If you have been able to
follow along so far we are at column F. In column F row 2 you will need the following formula =IF(E2="","",ABS(E2-E1) this formula
in my case when copied from cell 2 thru cell 730 it shows the number of skips between hits for the digit 0 for the last year of
games. Note the empty cell in column F row 1. In that cell place this formula in it =LARGE(F2:F730,1). This formula tells us the
longest skip on the number 0 in the last year of game history. Make note of it because when you create this set up for numbers 0 thru
9 you will need to create a list with each large number in those cells then use a =LARGE(x1:x10,1) x being what column you put the
list in your sheet. That large number gives you the ideal amount of history to use to find your hot and cold numbers which is usually
20 to 30 ish games of history as all the other numbers come out more frequently than the number with the longest skip of any of the
other numbers. This sort of blanket method works but if you want to be a little more exact you could for example lets say the number
0 has the longest skip of 23 games In column F simply use the countif function a1 to c23 to find out how many times the number 0 came out.
Then do this for numbers 0 thru 9 to find the most frequent (Hot) to least frequent (Cold). No matter which way you do this you will
find that some numbers have the same frequency. To fix this, on to column G. In column G make a list of numbers 1 to 100 starting in
column G row 2. In column H row 2 place the formula =IF(F$2=G2,COUNTIF(F$2:F$731,G2),"") copy down to row 101 in column H. Cell f2 is
our current number of games skipped or games out, the numbers in column G represent the number of skips or games out then you are
counting how many times the number 0 came out in that number of skips in column F (Thats the countif portion of the formula) shown in
column H. In cell h1 put the formula =LARGE(H2:H101,1). So now in cell f1 you know how many games back to count how many times the
number 0 came out in recient game history and in cell h1 you can see how likley it is to hit in the next game. Once you set this up for
numbers 0 thru 9 you will be able to determine a key number in the next game by choosing the most frequent number with the highest
count of coming out in cell h1 based on how many times the number came out with that number of skips. While not a perfect solution
I find it produces one or two numbers in the next game more frequently than base frequency count alone. Hope this helps or sparks a
better idea with you. If you find a better idea don't forget to share :)
