At the suggestion of a couple of members senior to me, I've started this thread. For those who haven't already read my posts, I'll summarize - if you're already familiar with what I'm doing then please bear with me.
I've am in the process of writing a program that attempts to forecast the lottery, I am currently forecasting for 68 lotteries around the world with a varying degree of success. I have setup a website which contains strictly my forecasts and past results where this information can be seen (text only - no advertising, no bull, just numbers).
So far this year I have picked 9 5/5 jackpots in a variety of US lotteries (at least 3 of these occured in the last 10 days). The best I've managed so far on a pick 6 lottery is 5/6, but I've only recently started looking at the pick 6 lotteries.
Before you ask - No, I have not hit a jackpot myself. I have picked 5/5 in the lottery I play once, however the system I played that day only provided me with a 4/5 win (for $750), and several lesser wins. I have missed 4/5 more times than I care to count, because I either chose not to play that drawing or played the wrong system. I am however still playing on my winnings.
I would like your assistance in providing feedback about the website, and my forecasts. I am specifically looking for feedback on the presentation, understandability and completeness of the data I am presenting as well as feedback on the quality of my forecasts.
I would also like anyone who has a favorite wheel system they would like to see used to send / post that system so I can include it in my forecasting - I have a limited number of wheels, and very few pick 7 wheels. It is in my plan to add more, but generating wheels is taking a back seat to everything else I'm doing right now.
In order to help understand my forecasts, here is a sample 6/49 forecast:
9 , 14 , 17 , 22 , 26 , 46 , 4 , 7 , 19 , 20 , 2 , 24 , 11 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 38 , 40 , 41 , 43 , 12 , 48 , 49 , 27 , 16 , 10 , 23 , 45 , 18 , 47 , 25 , 8 , 39 , 1 , 3 , 42 , 5 , 44 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 6 , 13 , 21 , 15
This is simply a ranked list of the numbers in the order that my program thinks they are likely to be drawn, so if your favorite system is to play a 10 number wheel, then the numbers you should use are:
9 , 14 , 17 , 22 , 26 , 46 , 4 , 7 , 19 , 20
Put them in your favorite system and go, or you can actually pick one of the wheel systems that I have included on my site and play them.
Things to keep in mind:
1 - currently there are approximately 50 variables for each lottery that I can change to alter the forecasts - right now most are using my "default" parameters and have not been optimized. I may add more of these variables as I determine the need in the future (I already have several planned, but not implemented yet).
2 - the more data I have for a given lottery, the better the forecasts will be - in some cases I have a limited amount of data (any lottery with less than 10 data records will have no forecasts), in any lottery that there are less than 30 drawings of data I cannot even begin to optimize the parameters. Also the more data I have, the longer the optimization process takes. If you would like to send data for your favorite lottery, I will add it to my database - if not, I'll continue to collect it 1 drawing at a time.
3 - watch the "Last Parameter Change" of your lottery to see how recently I've modified the parameters effecting the forecasts.
4 - the feedback form on my site is a one-way deal, if you expect a response - you should either post here, or send me email.
I would like to thank everyone in advance for any feedback - good, bad, or indifferent.
