Ball Draw Intervals (Skips)

[doug_w]

First of all many thanks for allowing me to join the forum.

For some unknown reason I got the idea in my head to start keeping track of lotto draw results and to try predict numbers for the next draw. Haven't played lotto in years. Anyway started off using Excel by have graduated to using Visual Basic and an SQL LocalDb (database). From reading posts in the forum I believe I am capturing all the same sorts of data you guys are.

My question now is in trying to predict numbers for the next draw is using the Ball Draw Averages of great value or is using the Ball Draw Intervals (I believe you guys call them skips) more advantageous, eg keep a track of how many times each Interval occurs for each Ball then determine from the Current Weeks Out check the Draw Interval times and if it is in the top 3 then consider that number as a possible pick

example say for Ball 1 we have the following

Draw Interval 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Times Occurred 4 3 1 5 2 1 3 4 1


Current Weeks Out 4

Ok 4 has occurred 5 times therefore select the Ball


Thanks in advance
