I want to pass along a link that might be of interest to some members. It is a link to a random number generator that was sent to me for inclusion in the lotterydirectory.
Now I never pay any attention to "random number generators" as they are about as useful as a quick pick.
The best or most pathetic random number generator I've seen was a small plastic box that fit on my key chain. It had 49 tiny balls inside (numbered 1 to 49). There was a column at the side that would hold by gravity 6 of the balls. You could keep shaking the plastic device until 6 of the little balls were in the column and voila! ... there is your bet.
I disrespect random number generators so much ... I'd rather go to the crow to get my bets than use a random number generator.
Anyhow .. this random number generator has a couple of features that caught my attention. BTW a quick look at the site tells me this is not freeware but it appears that without registering it for $20, the worst that happens is the user has to put up with a nag screen. This RNG allows users to choose lower and upper limits and increments of the numbers. Limits can be positive or negative values and digits can be excluded. I have just seen it so no tests have been done yet but I think that this RNG could be used to develop random number sets (from a limited pool of predicted numbers) that have desired charachteristics. Like it could be used for filtering to develop numbers like a wheel but without the balance of a wheel. Some lotto people believe that the balance of a wheel is actually detrimental to the winning potential of the lines.
This thingy might be worth a look?
