Hello; Another newbie here

[dfms]

Hi; newbie here to this forum, not new to lotto; Starting playing lotto in ’72 (Cal) and NY in’84. Wrote my first lotto program in ’84 using Cobol, I don’t think Excel was around then. So now I’m on Micro Focus Cobol 85 and playing Ca;. Lotto 47/27 or SuperLotto+.
I’m cautious as to why most of you are using Excel formulas. It seems to me that that’s a lot of work. I noticed a post from someone here about using numbers that were drawn in the past. Surely, you all know that if you are keeping track of numbers in your number file by count and last drawn, you would see that there is a pattern. Some number have a last draw of 18 while other have a last draw of 2, as an example.
I don’t use history as the deciding factor, only the last 26 draws and then from that only the last 6 draws. I track numbers as a whole number, 44, 15, 27 and so on, but I also split the whole number into two separate numbers as 4-4, 1-5, 2-7. Why? I can follow the last 6 draws and see what numbers are low and what numbers are popular. This might not work for your 6/49, works great for 6/47. I also work only with 1 sequence type as 6/47 has 10 sequences and I believe that 6/49 has the same, thus reducing the odds.
That’s all for now, thanks for reading and any comments.

I found your post interesting. Sounds like you are an experienced programmer who predates microsoft and excel. Excel works fine for people who are not deep into programming. Your post contained food for thought - there are so many ways to look at lotto that it can become mind boggling. Not quite sure what you mean by "pattern"- if you keep track of numbers you notice a pattern lots of patterns in fact - 20/20 hind-sight - can patterns of the past help predict the future? But just about everyone here tracks numbers for just that purpose anyway. The splitting of the numbers is a twist I have not heard before.

These are the reasons why you should always track the last drawn on each winning number. You’ll see some numbers have a last draw of 1, other as high as 26.

For degree of certainty DC = 50%, this means that half (50%) of the winning lotto numbers in each draw are repeats from the past 6 drawings! That is, on average, three of the six winning numbers have also been drawn in the last 6 lotto draws.

For DC = 75%: three-quarters of the winning lottery numbers in each drawing are repeats from the past 11 draws! On the average, four or five of the six winning lotto numbers have also been drawn in the last 11 drawings.

For DC = 90% of the drawings, all 6 winning lotto numbers were also drawn in the past 17 lottery drawings.

There were drawings in which all six winning lottery numbers had been repeats from the past 11-12 lotto drawings, even from the past 6-7 draws!
And there cases where all 6 winning numbers were repeats from the last 4-5 drawings!!!


You should also be aware of sequences combination to lower your bet amounts, filter out some of the sequences depending on the game you are playing.

Sequence patterns

Type Description Example
01 3 Numbers from group 0 01-02-03-10-11-20
2 Numbers from group 1 Seq. 32100
1 Number from group 2

02** 2 Numbers from group 0 01-10-11-21-30-03 (**BEST)
2 Numbers from group 1 Seq. 22110
1 Number from groups 2, 3

03 3 Numbers from group 0 01-02-10-20-30-03
1 Number from groups 1, 2, 3 Seq. 31110

***** The next Pattern comes up occasionally *****

04 2 Numbers from group 0 04-08-16-33-43-21
1 Number from groups 1,2,3,4 Seq. 21111


As for splitting the lotto numbers, you can see which numbers are favorite, drawn more often, and which numbers are not. If you track the numbers, both the group number (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) and the secondary numbers you will see that this does in fact, make a difference.

You stated that you only use the last 26 draws and then "DC = 50%, this means that half (50%) of the winning lotto numbers in each draw are repeats from the past 6 drawings then "DC = 75%: three-quarters of the winning lottery numbers in each drawing are repeats from the past 11 draws and then "DC = 90% of the drawings, all 6 winning lotto numbers were also drawn in the past 17 lottery drawings Having made such a statement how do you determine what numbers to use? You also mentioned that "I also split the whole number into two separate numbers as 4-4, 1-5, 2-7." What about 1 - 9 do they stay as ease?

How many numbers do you use in the end, do you split all numbers from the past 26 draws or only the last 6 draws?

Vey Much Intrigue By This

"You stated that you only use the last 26 draws" that's because there are 104 drawings a year in Calif., half of 104 is 52, half of 52 is 26. No other reason.
"DC = 50%, this means that half (50%) of the winning lotto numbers in each draw are repeats from the past 6 drawings"
Again in Calif. that is correct. Since there are 36 numbers drawn in the last 6 drawings, 50% of the winning draw is 3. So yes, this statement is correct.
"DC = 75%: three-quarters of the winning lottery numbers in each drawing are repeats from the past 11 draws" Again, the total numbers drawn is 66. Of which 4 or maybe 5 numbers within that 66 will be drawn.
"DC = 90% of the drawings, all 6 winning lotto numbers were also drawn in the past 17 lottery drawings" . The last 17 drawings contains 102 numbers. The 102 also contains a lot of repeats. Or if you include all 26 draws, that's 156 numbers with many repeats.
"Having made such a statement how do you determine what numbers to use?" By splitting the numbers from the last 6 draws. I total the group numbers, then take the ones that are the highest, and then select the lowest, no more than 4 groups.
"What about 1 - 9 do they stay as ease?" You mean 0-9.
I do the same with the secondary digit or number and select only 5.
"How many numbers do you use in the end?", I use 13 numbers for my wheeling system.
PS. I wrote the lotto program and I designed the wheel.
