Andrew,
When I first started, I had Criteria for Occurences etc.
I admit I was very lucky at the beginning, but I the method has since failed quite a few times.
I have now decided to do away with criteria and provide tables showing milestones/records of occurences in each category and how often these records are broken, equalled or nearly hit.
See sheet '100 Drw Cat Predict for Drw 433' of file 'BH No Elimination Method - Predictions.xls' You will see that if #21 hits in the next draw, it will have occurred 21 times in 100 Draws. This has only occurred 1 in 15.86 Draws.
Now look at Columns M to Q of sheet '100 Draws Stats' of file ''BH No Elimination Method - Predictions.xls' You will see that this occurred 21 times in 333 draws - hence 1 in 15.86
Column P is for the occurrence interval The highest occurrence interval is 78. We could say that, it will be unlikely to ever have an interval of 79 - thus if an occurence of 21 in 100 Draws has not occurred for 78 draws, then any numbers falling in this catergory will probably hit.
Column Q is consecutive occurences - the highest is 2 (1 time). We could say that, it will be unlikely to ever have a consecutive of 3- thus if an occurence of 21 in 100 Draws has occurred 2 times in a row, then any numbers falling in this catergory will probably not hit.
The final decision on wether to predict a hit or a miss for a particular number is left up to the user, as I don't think a PC can think for you - maybe with AI?
I will be adding more columns to the 'stats' sheets, but this takes time and the files will get bigger. In the end, maybe set theory can be used - intersecting sets. I will have to get out my old books.
I have not really studied WinHunter, so when you use its terminology, I am not sure what you are talking about. Anyway it will be an honour for me if you can use some of my ideas in your program.
Cheers,
BushHappy
