To calculate the total number of possible combinations based on your filter strategy, we need to follow the logic step by step, considering the choices for each of the three Pick 3 positions.
Let's first define the digit base for each position.
Hot Digits (Q): 3 digits
Medium Digits (M): 4 digits
Cool Digits (F): 3 digits
In each position (first, second, and third), you have the following selection options:
Choose a digit from the Hot category.
Choose a digit from the Medium category.
Choose a digit from the Cold category.
This means that for each of the three positions, there are 3 possible categories. Since there are 3 positions, the total number of category combinations is 3×3×3=27.
Now, let's calculate the number of combinations for a specific strategy, for example, (Hot, Medium, Cold) in positions 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and then apply the even/odd and high/low filters.
Calculation for a Category Combination (Example: QMF)
Let's assume you decide to create combinations following the rule (Hot, Medium, Cold) for positions 1, 2, and 3.
Position 1 (Hot): You have 3 digit options.
Position 2 (Medium): You have 4 digit options.
Position 3 (Cold): You have 3 digit options.
The total number of combinations for this single category strategy is: 3×4×3=36 combinations.
Applying the Even/Odd and High/Low Filters
This is where the complexity increases. The final number of combinations depends on how many digits in each category (Hot, Medium, Cold) fall under the even/odd and high/low filters. Since the hot/medium/cold digits change with each draw, it's not possible to give an exact number without having the list of digits for each category.
Practical Example:
Let's use a hypothetical example to show how the calculation would be done.
Position 1 (Hot): Digits {7, 2, 5}
Position 2 (Medium): Digits {1, 3, 6, 8}
Position 3 (Cold): Digits {0, 4, 9}
Now, let's apply a combined filter, for example, (Even, Odd, Even) and (High, Low, High).
Position 1 (Hot + Even + High):
Of the hot digits {7, 2, 5}, which are even? Only 2.
Of this digit, which are high (5-9)? None.
In this case, the number of combinations for the first position is 0.
This already shows us that the total combination of games for this strategy is 0.
However, if the filter were (Even, Odd, Even) and (Low, High, Low), the result would change.
Position 1 (Hot + Even + Low):
Hot digits {7, 2, 5}. Which are even and low (0-4)? Only 2. (1 combination)
Position 2 (Medium + Odd + High):
Medium digits {1, 3, 6, 8}. Which are odd and high (5-9)? None.
Here, again, the total combinations would be 0.
The Final Reasoning
The filter system does not have a fixed number of combinations. The total number of games you'll have to play varies with each draw, depending on how many digits from your hot, medium, and cold list fall within the odd/even and high/low filters you choose.
The general formula for calculating the number of combinations for a category strategy (such as QMF) and filters (such as PAB) is:
Number of Combinations = (Digits in Position 1 that fall within the Filter) x (Digits in Position 2 that fall within the Filter) x (Digits in Position 3 that fall within the Filter)
The great advantage of using this system is the ability to drastically reduce the number of games from 1,000 to a handful of combinations, which are statistically more likely to win based on recent draw history.
