Hi,
I use it but not exactly as I first used it.
The wheeling in it would be better if it actually wheeled, into each line instead of the whole set, the percentage of hot, repeat, cold, due that it separates the numbers into.
I use it for hand-picking numbers... I most often set the hot cutoff to 1 and look at the list of cold numbers... ie for Ontario 49 if 6 draws ago there are still 6 numbers that have not replayed since, I play combinations of two of them in each line. I do this for KENO too. Picking more from the 'warmer' end ie bottom of the list than from the 'top' end.
I do much much better than when I played quick picks, and I spend much much less money than when I used to wheel..wheeling was a bust for me.. I kept changing the wheels I'd use and then look back on previous tickets to find that if I had stuck with the first wheel I'd have won second prize or something. It was also too easy to spend more because I'd pick all these numbers and set up all these tickets and then refuse to give up any of them.. what a vicious cycle that was!
Tonite I spent $8 on Keno and got 6/8 on one ticket (arghhhh) only $10 ...but I come close so often picking by hand, last week one night I had played 5 $2 category 10 and got 7/10 in two lines ($50 each). I also, sometimes will pick even numbers only from the 'cold' column, or only play category 5 tickets using one decade. It also helps me decide how many repeats I will play and which ones..for that I set the hot number cut-off to something like 5 or 6 and pick a couple of repeats from near the top third of the list and two to four or so from the middle and one or two from the bottom third... so it helps me that way.
There's alot of information there for someone who doesn't have their own stats method set up. Another thing I try to do is compare the movement of a number in the 'most frequent' list... ie past 400, 300, 100, 50.. is it moving up or down (maybe overkill). Also, odds/evens, if 12+ odds played the last few draws and I'm going to use only numbers from decades 1,2,4 I'd play category 6 with two even numbers from each decade...maybe too much info...when tired I talk too much. The 'Hit Sequence' Chart is very useful to me... it gives you a visual of what numbers are starting to play more often and which ones are playing less.

p.s. btw 4/6 ain't bad to start (guess depends how much you've spent...if you live in Ontario you ought to check out Ontario 49...much cheaper... I play most draws ..you can wheel much cheaper if you're going to wheel. Also, combination 8 ticket is $14 and combination 7 is $3.50...
