Well....I really thought the number of LOP's for Texas Daily would EXPAND to 7 but it COLLASPED to 5 levels with only 1 digit coming from last 4 games and 2 digits from games 5 or more ago :(
For those who have never looked at LOP tracking, this is what I do. I keep track of the number of "levels" all the 10 digits (0-9) are scattered on. Since "750" played Monday it would be on LOP 1. The 4 & 9 were on LOP 2 and all the other digits were on Levels 5, 7, 8 & 9.
As the numbers play they spread out over "x" number of Levels. The Average number of levels is 6 the digits are usually on. Since there are 10 digits, you can have them over the minimum of 4 Levels to a maximum of 9.
If they are scattered over nine levels, you can be assured there would have to be a heck of a lot of Doubles and/or Triple games play in a row to scatter the digits that far apart. There have been instances of where 8 LOP's happened, however, even this is rare.
Most of the time the digits are scattered over 6 levels and slide back and forth either up or down. I call this "Expand" or "Collaspe". When there is an "Expand" of LOP's any digits on an LOP alone can be eliminated from consideration and two digits together on the same LOP will not play together.
If there is a "collaspe" then usually two digits on Levels alone will play either as a Doubles game or with another digit from a 3rd LOP.
