Hello mate! I'll have to talk fast.... before all the blood rushes to my head. Not use to this southern hemisphere (Australia). LOL
Colin, I don't play the larger games, Pick 3 is my hobby. I do enjoy your post very much and read this one on repeats and probability and became interested in asking you more about it.
Have you ever tracked the position frequency for repeats? Not the numbers ....no....just the positions. In the 6/49 you are lucky in that your choices are of an even number(6).
Six Positions a,b,c, d,e,f .....or position Box 1.2.3.4.5. and 6 What we have here are 3 high and 3 low as well as 3 odd and 3 even positions. 123 and 456.
Consider the situation if each one of these position numbers repeats all came from the position boxes or slots ......something like this. 1,2,1,4,4,3,6,6,2,2,1 Pretend for a moment that this was the position that each of the last repeat numbers came from. Are you starting to see what I'm getting at? The missing slot number # 5 has not hit yet! The next draw might be 17 12 34 32 22 25 The number 22 in position #5 would be a prime candidate as a repeat. If not the next draw,perhaps the next. Perhaps this example is not as clear an indicator as the next examples but note worthy, yes?
Other examples:
Position order numbers. 123456 If I saw the last 4 or 5 repeats came from the position(boxes) numbers 1.2.3.3.1. ........I would consider that the repeat would next come from the other side either 4,5, or 6. After all it is 50/50
If I saw that the last several position hits all were fromeven number positions ......say 2, 2, 4,2, 6,6,4.... I would consider the next position hit would come from one of the ODD position slots.
High/ low ......odd/even recording of the repeats and the position order box they came from.
I'm sure this method would result in cutting your odds down by 50% on several occasions during the year, and increase the chances of a hit on that repeat number.
Perhaps you might have noticed a probability chart for sequential numbers in a post on the Systems Forum. "Everything you need to know about P-3" I think it has dropped a couple of pages back now. It had to do with probability of equally like dvents (50/50) .....which is what we have here.
Hope this was clear enough for you Colin. Sorry if it wasn't but I will try again if you wish. Interested in your opinion on this as a potential indicator tool for your game.
I'm sure these numbers will rock back n forth most of the time, and not present any clear or immanent choice. But........when they do take their turn being bad (and all numbers do) their value as indicators will go way up!
