Yep.....I tend to "walk to the beat" of my own drum
Since I've been tracking Numbers I've created my own little world without having input from the factions that are already out there
When I came online I did look a lot for software, however, just never could come up with any that I felt comfortable with or would provide me anything close to what I was already doing. Hence, reason for me to create my own software with the help of a programmer
I've never worked with Excel, Lotus or any other kind of spreadsheet either. Even though I've worked with computers now over 10 years, I never got into the "software" end of things. My experience has been in the building of these things and I knew more about how they worked when I came online then how to use the darn things!
Since that time all my learning experience about software has been "hands on" of just jumping in and "doing it".
Even with the Pick 3, I started out with very basic materials.....paper, pen, pencil, red pen, notebook paper, 13 column ledger and eraser. With the 13 column ledger I created my Visual Charts for Frequency and LOP (Level of Play).
It was from this Visual Chart that I could see several things....like how most digits would play by time they got 4 games out, how often repeats happened, how many levels the digits were scattered over, how many levels were used (in play), and how often a digit would go for a long period of time without playing at all. Even could keep record of how many digits played.....3 or 2 that doubled.
With this information I developed my Tracking Techniques
