I very rarely visit his site but was intrigued by the matrixes he posted. I checked 2 of them against the UK draws and found that that creating random combinations was more successful then using his matrixes. I posted the results on his forum and the random combinations I used for him to check himself. The result was my posts were deleted. Then when I posted another set of results he banned me from posting there saying I was a "nuisance". Should anyone bother to visit his site and make a comment, then be warned, make sure you agree with him or be censored.
Colin Fairbrother and his Lottoposter
- Thread starter Springbok
- Start date
Fairbrother strikes me as being a kid playing a game as in "I am King of the Castle and you are a dirty rascal" . He purports to be scientific and mathematical when he is in fact neither. To him 2+2 equals whatever he wants it to be. Maybe he posts from the library of the Sydney Psychiatric Institute.
Here is Fairbrother's farewell note to me.
I pointed out to you your tests were irrelevant as they were over only a few hundred draws whereas mine are over 17,850.
There are plenty of tests on this site where I have compared my random number generator to the results expected per probability theory over 17,850 draws.
I now regard your posts as an irritant and have therefore curtailed your permission to post.
If you have an article in the future that can stand up to scientific analysis you may run it by me first. From the history of your posts I doubt whether that is possible.
Goodbye

Hi,
I received same treatment, Colin F simply deleted a post I made about one of his wheel vs one optimized wheel, he doesn't like the results..
After that action I never post again in his forum.
Regards

A quick reply ...
Andrew or Springbok
Your sampling was too small to draw any conclusions. Plural of matrix is matrices.

Your accusation has been dealt with in this forum where I gave the simple SQL to do the grouping. My suspicion of some vindictiveness behind your accusation is proven. What you showed was that the default font in Access is the same as the one you used. I withdraw my invitation to you to rejoin and any past comments of respect for you are withdrawn. I have never seen the item you refer to on your site. As explained before the simple SQL I could write out blindfolded!
Grandmaster or Greco
I left your post up for a few days. It didn't stand up to analysis as you well know. The biggest problem was with your RNG where you considered it appropiate to delete the repeats!
I thought Andrew might do something such as this and I thank LoveLotto for inadvertently (maybe) bringing it to my attention. Shortly, I will be starting a Stats site - all my own work in Dot.Net and as I have said before a competent programmer has no problem in gauging the ability of another through his work. While I disagree with Todd Northrup and the Webmaster of this site I still have respect for their programming abilities as I hope they have for mine.

LoveLotto is a big snitch and he is one of the 4 moron idiots incognito banned from this forum before. It's his ghost as one might call it.
LoveLotto, you know who I'm referring to......
Go back to your hole and stay there with the other 3 banned ignoramuses who can't get enough of this place they continually stir up the pot for more accusations. Can't even spell....
Signs of total LOSERS !

Colin -
When not only the font but the spacing and the format of the offending post was identical to what I had posted on my web site I was left no other reason to believe it was lifted directly from my site - and it was. Instead of giving your source a courtesy cite you claimed the post was of your own devising and removed me from your forum. Nothing has changed. I never received the courtesy source cite I requested. I have no intentions of returning to your forum. I was asked a simple question in this thread and I answered. If you wish to take umbrage at that, do so, and so be it.
And, BTW, the page from which you lifted the data, along with all the others of that type, is now only viewable with my permission via a password over which I have sole control. I will neither permit or condone looting.

I have never seen the simple little group and sort for Sums on your website. When I noticed that George had deleted what he posted I did it in Access in about 3 minutes with the default fonts spacing whatever. The simple SQL I have posted on this site.
You are wrong, very wrong. I subsequently after you made your accusation tried to have a look to observe myself what you were referring to but couldn't get through to the area where ever it was. To make such a deal over this is beyond my comprehension.
I state on my life I have never seen the simple little bit of SQL you refer to. John I work with SQL that can stretch over pages and am not fazed by it.
Why do I make an issue over it? Because you have falsely accused me of something and still do.
Here again is the kindergarten SQL:
SELECT [N2]+[N1]+[N3] AS [P3 Sum], Count([N2]+[N1]+[N3]) AS Cnt
FROM Pick3
GROUP BY [N2]+[N1]+[N3];
An apology is all I ask for John!

Colin, how can you say the sampling was too small. I tested your grid against the complete Uk 6/49 history. I showed you the results . I then generated random combinations. I showed you the combinations and the results. All you had to do was check it yourself. Your grid was inferior to random combinations. Anyone who uses your grids and not random combinations will achieve inferior results. There is a serious flaw in your methodology and I suggest you pull your socks up and do some thinking(I know it is hard but it really is worth the effort).
