I have pretty well finished my system after some two years and am doing
the less interesting stuff like making it applicable to more of the Lotto variations.
One of my first priorities was to set up a Computer Model to test my ideas
by doing runs where the Draws are generated randomly, the selection criteria is applied to producing the Combinations to play and then the Wins are calculated. (It's a very inexpensive way of playing and not without it's moments of excitement.) The idea is not to worry too much about the big wins but concentrate on the 3's and 4's (and 5's for very long runs or a high number of Combinations played.)
You then need a benchmark to measure your "success" by and there's nothing better than Random Selections. Do say 10 runs playng 50 Combs over say 1234 Draws then play say 500 Combs.
When you do your comparisons you will find Random Selections produce remarkably consistent results and if you've coded the RNG correctly you will find the results are consistent with Probability Theory. (By the way to any who may be reading this Post you only need High School Algebra to understand Probability Theory as applied to Lotteries.)
By doing this you're complying with the Universally accepted Scientific Method. It can be quite merciless with ill conceived ideas. I thoroughly recommend it to you. It means that if I say I can get 300% to 400% better than Random Selections then you can sit in front of the Computer and have it demonstrated to you consistently.
No matter what you've achieved there's always the doubt - have I missed some thing. In my early days of development I would have new ideas every day; most turned out when tested to be useless-but I persevered. Now I've pretty well run out of ideas although there's a few I will revisit. So I too am interested in concepts or ideas and quite frankly thats my main reason for looking in on this Forum. I don't want your code.
Generally, few of us (I certainly include myself here.)would have brains that even approached the mental capacity of our mentors from the 17th Century - Cardan, Fermat, Pascal, Huygens, Bernouilli and de Moirre. I wonder what they would have achieved if able to access modern fast Computers?
