Well here's what I got from the whole thing,LottoCheatah
can "HIT" 3,4 or 5 numbers but not as often as a player would like and you could lose more than you spent trying too do so.So my advice is too play strategically
by using 5 different depth settings 10 combinations for each every month which is $50 each game.I have the program myself and in my opinion it's okay but I think it's quite capable of doing a lot more.Ron has added many features which I think are good but I would like it
if a player could enter his own 10-12 numbers and let the program arrange them into combination amounts of his choosing like 20-50 etc...I never really liked programs that automatically selected and wheeled numbers using a RNG or Prediction Engine even though some Prediction Engines can do better than RNG.The only program in my opinion that automatically selects and wheels numbers and is "GOOD" at it is MaxHitPro.But it let's you enter your own numbers than wheels your selections in the amount you choose which is what I prefer.So for now I'll hold on to LottoCheatah until it
get's better or if Ron adds the feature I mentioned.
I recognize your handle as that of a registered Lotto Cheatah user. I believe you came on board in January this year, or there-abouts.
I don't think you will see the wheeling feature you asked for in Lotto Cheatah. While both the wheel and Lotto Cheatah build their picks from a set of possible numbers, that is where the similarity ends. Lotto Cheatah also builds the set of possible numbers, based on their probability of hitting. It calculates the probability of hitting from analysis of past performance of that number in interaction with all the other numbers over time.
Your strategy of spreading your picks over a depth span is a good one. I have found that hot pick settings usually span a number of more-or-less contiguous pick settings. Bird of a feather flock together, so-to-speak.
Playing the default setting is also a good one. After all, if it has hit money at xx% using this setting for the past 10 games, and that is the highest winning percentage of all settings over those 10 games, then it should be a decent spot to pick from.
The flip side of this logic is also true from time to time. All things being equal, a pick setting that has underperformed over a substantial period of time should become real hot sooner or later. The analogy here is the coin toss. You can only hit heads so many times in a row before tails *must* come up.
You correct in saying that LC can hit 3's, 4's and 5's, but not as often as one would like. Indeed, one would like all their picks to be in the money all the time [I'm working on it]! The Hitometer feature was added to help you time your bets to best coincide with those times that LC is picking 3's, 4's and 5's, and avoid the times when it is not. Check out the Hit Parade at the website. Pay particular attention to the Trend Indicator [arrow] and it's numerical value.
Thank you for using Lotto Cheatah. Good luck on the games!
Ron.
