News from the Rabbit Hole.
I came to L P by way of the Google Search Algorithm in June 2015. I was already a self-taught Exceler having created Cost Estimating and Real Estate Development Models as well as Coordinate Geometry for Engineering. I wanted something else to do with Excel and the Lottery was an interesting and potentially rewarding option.
Way back in 2015 L P was Jumping. Posters like WinD, Tialuvslotto, JD, Winsum, were showing me things that fueled the Excel Breakdown that has morphed into where I am today. There were many then and a few now that spark an interest, and open a new “Rabbit hole”.
What is a “Rabbit Hole” and how do you measure how “Deep in said Hole”, you are?
Whenever you gather up any piece of the history of these numbers. By “Piece” I mean the Cells in your data, you open a Rabbit Hole. You look in your hand at the pieces and dive in the hole to see where the pieces happened together before. Then you turn around and wait to see if you have the right pieces for the next draw, or as WinD’s String Breaking Strategy suggested, the pieces you did not pick up.
The pieces in our hand represent a Group. A Group that you hope contains the winner or a few pieces of the winner if you get partial credit. The Rabbit hole is the Group History that is statistically analyzed. We count hits and skips for the pieces and the group. The Rabbit Hole gets deeper when you monitor the Frequency vs The Skip of every piece of the Group and the Group itself. This yields Either a % or +/- value that takes you further into the hole. Another thing I monitor is the Inventory of a Group against the Frequency, by subtracting the Inventory % from the Hit %. This yields a percentage that tells you if said group is ahead or behind “schedule”. This is a depth that many have descended. Want to go farther?
Consider that a Group is a Set number of pieces. In excel it is a selection of columns on a row in a workbook. Sorry for these basics but bear with me. Each one of those columns on any row (cell) form both a collection of the value of each piece and extend to a comparison of skip/frequency and Inv%-Hit%. Now you have a series of values or you can count like how many values are +/-, for example.
You need a flashlight down here and the hole has no bottom. Excel is your only way back to the surface. Be aware, no matter how slow you ascend, you get the bends. The Rabbit Hole Bends. You come out of the hole thinking that you know something and you think that that something will happen next.
Here is something to consider. Excel lets you monitor as many Rabbit Holes as it's memory will allow. The depth to which you have descended in each hole is an instant record. You don't need to go down the hole ever again. You can run a set of pictures that show you what came out of each hole from the surface or if you get antsy, you can dig another hole that looks at Rabbit Holeville and play Whack the Wabbit.
