: : Lotto pairs, pairings, frequency: Winning lottery strategy and systems. : Basically what I do is copy and paste the Medieditor lotto file into spss stat. Do analysis of lottery software and filter out combinations from the original pool that do not meet the following criteria: : 1. Do wheeled lotto combination numbers in each position conform to historical positions based on entire history of lottery draw? If yes, then retain. : 1.5. Next: Do the deltas of the lottery wheeled combos have values =< 15? If so retain. Values =<15 happen 80% of the time based on historical analysis of all previous draws. Does the difference between the last and first number, spread of line, conform to historical 80% statistical trend? Does the number of even and odd lotto numbers in the wheeled combination match the statistical history of what combo. of even/odd happened in similar past lottery drawings? If so retain. : 4. Does the number of high and low numbers in the lotto wheeled combination match the statistical history of hi/lo that happned in past similar drawings? If so retain. : Thus filtering the original pool of numbers through each step, one hopefully will retain a group of combinations that have characteritics VERY congruent with winning lottery combinations of the past based on statistical likelihoods in similar draw situations. : Granted this is far from an ideal wheel-filtering strategy, but when faced with literally thousands of possible combinations one has to risk being wrong for the sake of being decisive. I can live with that. : One final note. Generic neural nets overfit the data with sample sizes that are too small and have attrocious Rsquared and average error values when sample sizes are larger. Even if the numbers seem good, neural nets generalize horribly with lotto data. After all, they were never meant for pseudo random numbers anyway. : • Selecting a key number follows the procedures presented on the Winning Lottery Strategy page <a href=http://saliu.com/LottWin.htm> (LottWin.htm)</a>. There is no denial at this step. Each and every lotto number repeats after a number of drawings less than its median in at least 50% of the cases. FFG explains in mathematical terms such behavior of lottery numbers. The formula is also validated by real lottery drawings. I haven't heard of any report to the contrary, in any lottery. I am convinced now FFG will not be contradicted in this regard, ever. : : Let's take the lotto 6/49 game, the most common worldwide. The median is 6 (use my freeware FORMULA.EXE to do the calculations for a 50% degree of certainty). We need lotto software to plot the skips for each lotto number. A skip shows how many drawings a number waits between hits. My freeware MDIEditor and Lotto and UTIL-6.EXE lottery software do the best job at charting the lotto skips. The skips will look like this: So far, this is the strongest part of the potential killer lotto strategy, mathematically speaking. •• The second part of the strategy is newer in my research. It is based on the pairings of the lotto numbers. Given a range of drawings, each lotto number shows a clear bias towards being drawn with the rest of the lotto numbers. The newest version of my freeware UTIL-6.EXE calculates the frequencies of all lotto pairings for every lotto number. The report looks like this: I know the pair frequencies are based on FFG, although I haven't done an analysis as thorough as in Step 1. The “top 10%” of the pairings represents 25% of total frequencies for each number. The “top” is defined as the most frequent part in a pairing string (starting from left to right). In the case above (still a lotto 6/69 game) the “top 10%” means the first 7 pairs 10% of 69 is approximately 7). The first 10% pairs for lotto number 1 add-up to 24 (25.3% of all 95 cases for that lotto number). 4+4+4+3+ 3+ 3+ 3 = 24. Conversely, the “bottom 10%” pairs sum-up to 0 (zero). Every lotto combination I play will contain the number 1 (the favorite). The remaining 5 lotto numbers will consist of combinations of the 12 numbers in the most frequent 25% pairs. Total combinations of 12 taken 5 at a time: C(12,5) = 792. The combined probability to hit the jackpot is 1/12 x 1/2 = 1/24. Actually, I saw such lotto combinations - containing a favorite lotto number plus 5 numbers from its top 25% lottery pairs. Checking for winning numbers this way is a little trickier. First, the software should break down the top pairs in groups of 5, and then add the favorite number to each combination. Then, it should check the results against real drawings. I hope there will be several worthy contributions. Somebody made a contribution already, before I posted my lotto strategy. See the post “Re: Eliminate more than one of the worst lottery pairings! – Ramanujan”. There is another category. There are those who don't want to make their “killer' strategies public. I have received several requests to take a look at or try to improve lottery or gambling systems. The requests were private and their authors did not want to make public their ideas. They have a point, but it's not a strong point. I know how humans function. Humans have progressed, in great part, because they make public their “efforts”. Effort here has a generalized meaning. That's not pure generosity. We make our efforts public because we expect positive consequences that serve us. The FearSurvival system is selfish, to be sure, even when it shows signs of unselfishness. Quoting from a Beatles song: “you take what you make”. Speaking from my personal experience. Don't more than a few computing beasts consider me nuts because I make public my systems? The titleof this biik is about likely winning lotto numbers to wheel with our best lotto wheels software. The lottery 'wonder grid' strategy finds the best lotto numbers, wheeling them with one of the best lotto wheels that automatically eliminates unlikely pairs, all odds, all evens, deltas.
