If ONLY I Knew then what I Know Now

[PAB]

I Just thought I would Share this with you.
I thought I would see How Many Times EACH Quadruple ( 211,876 Combinations ) has Appeared in the UK 649 Main Lotto.
I came up with 9 Quadruples that have Appeared 3 Times ( Excluding the Bonus Number ) EACH :-

01,15,23,31
02,19,44,49
05,24,38,48
08,10,47,49
10,12,34,48
12,28,36,40
19,30,34,44
22,41,43,47
26,28,38,46

I then Added my Two Lucky Numbers 9 & 18.

09,18,01,15,23,31
09,18,02,19,44,49
09,18,05,24,38,48
09,18,08,10,47,49
09,18,10,12,34,48
09,18,12,28,36,40
09,18,19,30,34,44
09,18,22,41,43,47
09,18,26,28,38,46

I Ran these 9 Combinations Against ALL 972 Draws ( as at the 16th of April 2005 ) and have come up with the Following Table.
The Table is Set Out with the 6 Combination Numbers, Matched 0 Numbers, Matched 1 Number … Matched 5 + the Bonus Number, Matched 6 Numbers, Total Draws Checked.

09,18,01,15,23,31,=,425,388,137,18,4,0,0,0,972
09,18,02,19,44,49,=,421,385,149,13,4,0,0,0,972
09,18,05,24,38,48,=,420,391,136,20,4,1,0,0,972
09,18,08,10,47,49,=,419,399,132,19,3,0,0,0,972
09,18,10,12,34,48,=,425,396,127,19,5,0,0,0,972
09,18,12,28,36,40,=,418,399,134,17,4,0,0,0,972
09,18,19,30,34,44,=,420,393,138,18,1,1,1,0,972
09,18,22,41,43,47,=,410,420,127,11,3,1,0,0,972
09,18,26,28,38,46,=,416,391,140,21,3,1,0,0,972

As the Saying goes, if ONLY I had Known then what I Know Now, and had Played these 9 Combinations from Draw ONE, I would be Quite Happy . Here are the Results :-

Total Outlay for 972 Draws = £8,748
Matched 3 Numbers 156 Times = £1,560
Matched 4 Numbers 31 Times = £1,922
Matched 5 Numbers 4 Times = £6,156
Matched 5 + the Bonus Number 1 Time = £102,980
Total Won = £112,618
Total Profit ( I WISHED ) = £103,870

I Used the Current Average Winnings to Calculate EACH Category.
I am Sure there are MANY Players Here that have Done Similar Testing to Try and come up with a New Strategy and have Similar Results, Some BETTER and Some WORSE.

All the Best.

Geeez!!

That's bad enough for anyone to blow a head gasket!!

Sorta been there, done that too ... one of my stacks in WH picked 8/8, with only 10 preds I think, in Super7 about a year ago ... of course the rest of the time the stack was a dog ... so I think the other saying 'hindsight tends to be better than 20/20' applies here ....


Cheers

ooops

finger trouble

Yea Brad

I remember that stack 8/8 !!
That was actually few months back !!
The problem is having tons of stacks, so which one to play

WH is good for say 17 numbers picked out of 47...Other than that it doesn't do any damage..

I hope Andrew would go back and improve it ( DreamLand )

Hey PAB,
Probably many people have had such “ If I knew” or “If I did” experiences which usually aren’t harmful at all. The destructive ones are mostly “ I was sure, but..” and “ I knew that, but..” where “but” typically costed a lot….

I Suppose it could have Been Worse, it could have Been the JACKPOT. I Expect that has Happened to some of the Members in Testing Before.
I did Manage to Match ALL 7 Numbers in the UK 727 Daily Play, Unfortunately that was in Testing. I Hate the Word Testing .

Good Luck Guys.
All the Best.

yeah thats why i dont like going thru past results and seeing how my games " would have " turned out.

i did run some numbers lotto statisticsXL turned out thru previous history, and noted a win of 5 numbers was only recorded a few weeks earlier.

i consoled myself with thew fact i would never weel a bunch of 15 ish numbers, or if i did it wouldnt have been a full wheel.
and i was prob unlikely of getting the hit 5 anyhow.
