1. Introductory notes to the best FREE lotto wheeling & wheels
There has been a strong interest in my lotto software known as LotWon632, especially the WHEEL632.EXE and SUPER632.EXE. Keywords at the search site, emails, requests in newsgroups, all indicated a strong desire for LotWon632. The package was available for licensing in 2001.
My research took a new strategic path in 2002. I discovered that pairing is the most powerful lottery strategy. It is so powerful that it doesn't need any other lotto filter; nor does it require skipping potentially non-winning draws. Writing the software is a paramount job! I avoid preserving old versions of the source code. I had a painful experience a couple of years ago. The old version of a program overwrote the latest! I kept a copy of the old code of LotWon632 lotto software because a faithful user discovered a few bugs. I ironed out the bugs and I kept a special disk handy, just in case! Incidentally, I am grateful to all faithful users who report quirks in my software. But I do have a problem with them when they show too much interest in the workings of my lottery programs. I grow very suspicious when they aim at the source code or the algorithms!
Code maintenance is the main reason I don't release more freeware, or upgrade the old freeware. It's not that I like people to beg me! I detest that! Nor am I arrogant because of holding valuable tools to myself—it is normal human behavior. Nor do I suffer from a complex of superiority if I don't present more of my lottery strategies or participate in newsgroups when strategies are debated. I have plenty of things to keep busy. I haven't had even time to play a pick-3 pairing strategy. Playing pairings like '1-1', '2-2', etc. costs $10,000 for 100 draws. The winnings amount to $15,000 without any filter or tweaking, even playing draw by draw (some draws can be skipped)!
Things change, especially when it comes to change of heart! I have released a ton of new freeware: lotto, lottery, and gambling software. Be sure to check all the resources at this incredible web site.
2. The best lottery software (freeware!) to tackle lotto wheels and wheeling
WHEEL632.EXE uses complete filtering; i.e. the filters can be set to minimum levels AND maximum levels. A filter such as “Three” can be set to extremely tight levels. For example, eliminate all 3-number groups from the past 100 draws, but generate only lotto combinations with 3-number groups from the last 101 draws. Thus, the minimum level of “Three” is set to 100; the maximum level of “Three” is set to 101. This is just an example. You may not get any combination with such a tight setting. But when the condition becomes reality, you may hit the jackpot with very few combinations!
The application generates wheeled combinations, from '3 of 6' to '5 of 6'; or it can generate un-wheeled combinations: '6 of 6'. The limit is 100,000 lotto combinations per run; filtering needs to be enforced! The filters can be stored in strategy files, in text format. The basic lottery strategy file is named ST6 and consists of zeroes; that is, all the filters are disabled. The older ST6 file is still available for download as ST6.0.
The best way to generate small-number wheels is to wheel, actually, all the numbers in a lotto game. For example, a 6/49 lotto; you want to wheel 18 numbers. Write the discarded numbers at the top of the D6 file, in lines of 6 numbers each. In this example, write the 31 numbers you don't wheel in 6 lines of 6 numbers; line 6 consists of the 31st discarded number written 6 times. LotWon requires strictly that the data files consist of 6-number lines, with the fields separated by spaces or commas.
This wheeling method yields superior results to creating static lotto wheels, such as with numbers from 1 to 18, then substituting the theoretical numbers by real lotto picks. The static wheels do not take advantage of filtering.
SUPER632.EXE is the report generator. It creates four W6 files, one per layer. The lottery filters show not only a historic performance, but also important statistical parameters, such as median, average and standard deviation. The filters show another important measure: direction. The filters increase or decrease, and the movement is regulated by the fundamental formula of gambling (FFG). The filters in SUPER632.EXE are calculated as number of draws minus 1. That's how LotWon started, trying to make it easier for users to comprehend the concept of lottery filter (or eliminating condition). FFG calculates the median for a filter like “Three” to be 39.16 (closer to 39). The '3 of 6' odds are '1 in 57' in a 6/49 lotto game. FFG calculates the median as N for p=1/57 and DC=50%. The median in SUPER632.EXE may be 38 or 37, or 40; you add 1 for compatibility with the fundamental formula of gambling (39, 38, 41). Playing the last 39 or 40 draws represents a most efficient '3 of 6 of 49' lotto wheel in a 6/49 game. It beats random play or static wheeling any time!
An even better lotto wheeling method is to use a combination of filters and run WHEEL632.EXE several times. A lotto field consists of a number of unique 'M of N' wheeled sub-systems. It is very unlikely that the jackpot sub-system will occur in the first run. As I showed in other posts, the winning combinations are more likely to be found in the FFG median zone. If you run WHEEL632.EXE with the same filter setting a dozen times in a row before playing is equivalent to saving money a dozen times in a row.
The innate and external filters in WHEEL632.EXE also avoid crass Koffotzuntz patterns on the lotto play slips.
The two programs require a data file D6 of at least 10,000 combinations. Of course, the bulk consists of simulated combinations in a SIM-6 file. You can use older versions of LotWon to create a 10,000-line combination file. You can also use MDIEditor and Lotto for the job. The D6 file is created by the DOS (prompt) command:
COPY DATA-6+SIM-6 D6
You may want to download MENU.EXE as well. It creates pretty DOS screens. Most importantly, you can run from a central menu all DOS (character mode) freeware you can download from here. Creating the D6 file will require you press a function key.
There are incompatibilities between the 16-bit and the 32-bit versions of DOS LotWon lottery and lotto software. The filters are calculated differently, the strategy files are created differently. Mixing the two versions will lead to errors. But you'd figure out soon the root of the problem. The default strategy file for the 32-bit version of strategy checking is named now ST.632 (available also for downloading).
There are three steps in running the 32-bit lotto 6 software:
1) Run SUPER632.EXE to generate the 4 WS6 files; analyze the files to set the filter levels;
2) Run Strategy632.EXE to check the frequency of a strategy (i.e. filter levels that you selected at step #1);
3) Run WHEEL632.EXE to generate combinations based on a strategy; the strategy can be screen input or an ST file.
Creating lotto strategies is the most important action. Setting many strategies and generating lotto wheel combinations several times will lead to better training. The more often one tries selecting strategies, any kind of filter levels—the more skillful one becomes. The odds are further improved if one runs the same strategy strategy several times in a row in the combination generating program. The probability is lower you'll get the winning combination in first run, or the second run, or the first few runs. That way, you can look at it as saving money. It's kind like you (would have) played and lost!
3. Advanced tips on using Ion Saliu's wheeling and lotto, lottery software
Many users view the Ion_5 filter as the key to a goldmine. They see values such as 417. They think immediately of setting Ion5 as follows:
~ minimum level = 417
~ maximum level = 418.
They run the program and get no combination at all after days and nights of continuous running! There is no bug in MDIEditor and Lotto WE. A repeating value of 417 for Ion_5 indicates an insufficient size of the data file. The 417 value is not to be relied on as far a maximum level is concerned. Most likely, Ion5 goes a lot higher. You should not use Max_Ion5=418 under these circumstances! That's why your computer doesn't generate any combination. It is very, vary rare for a value of Ion5 to reach EXACTLY 417. The maximum values should be used only with very large data files. Any time you see a value higher than 100 (e.g. 417 or 1000) repeating more than a dozen times, it should raise a red flag. The D6 data file is too small (real draws + SIMulated combinations).
Create a very large SIMulated data file—I recommend at least 100,000 (one hundred thousand) lotto combinations (lines). You can use the random modules in MDIEditor and Lotto or/and the DOS editions of LotWon. The same is valid for WHEEL_632.EXE. I created SIM files of over 200,000 lines, then I purged them. It's best to work with clean data files (that is, files without duplicate combinations). I encountered FivS and FivR values of over 100,000 (one hundred thousand). Such extreme levels of filtering have a devastating effect on the lotto odds.
4. News And Updates Regarding Ion Saliu's Software
I stated above:
”Code maintenance is the main reason I don't release more freeware, or upgrade the old freeware. “
I was right about the difficulty of maintaining the source code. In 2006, I lived a nightmare. Many users of the great-looking and extremely powerful piece of software MDIEditor And Lotto WE discovered serious bugs! I fixed all the errors with a lot of help from the users. It is an incredibly tough activity. I decided to count version 4.0 of MDIEditor And Lotto WE as the final version.
I updated many other programs as mine. I wrote new programs. Of course, I offered them as freeware. Please check the entry page to the free download software. Check also the software categories from the main FTP download page. You might be in for a shock (a very positive one!) if you haven't visited my website in a while.
The lotto wheeling software presented here —WHEEL632.EXE and SUPER632.EXE — have been greatly improved. They are now part of an integrated lotto-6 software package: Pick632.EXE. Power like you ain't seen before anywhere. There is also a counterpart for the lotto-5 games: Pick532.EXE.
The two packages offer absolutely the best method of wheeling the lotto numbers. The key concepts are: randomization and balance. In addition to the unique feature named: TRUE LOTTERY FILTERING. You won't find it in any other lotto or lottery software package — regardless of price.
As I said numerous times, I recommend against playing lotto wheels. They increase the losing rate for the player. I recommend playing non-wheeled lotto combinations, as the type of lotto combinations generated by Power632.EXE. You can make Power632.EXE (and other programs in my DOS LotWon lottery software) cooperate with MDIEditor And Lotto WE. My lotto software features a special function named PURGE. You can purge an output file generated by one program by running another program. Purging means eliminating additional combinations by using a new set of true lottery filters.
5. Essential Resources In Lotto, Lottery Wheeling, Wheels
Here is a list of my writings on the topic of lotto wheels or abbreviated (reduced) systems and lottery wheeling in general.
Of course, everybody loves to feast on great software, especially when it is free! My lotto wheeling software (and other categories) is absolutely free to run, for an unlimited period of time. However, only the registered members have a right to download the software. Membership requires a nominal fee — the most reasonable there is to connect to the greatest and most useful software ever created. No kidding!
