It's a random process. You can make money with Lotto selection programmes. You can sell a Lotto numbers selection programme to the gullible. This is like the story about the Wall Street broker who said the sisze of his yacht demonstrated how much money people could make "investing" on the sharemarket. He was told: "Show us your customers' yachts"/ |

| 281858 | 2004-10-18 04:12:00 | yeh which is why my systems DONT operate on the 'help you choose numbers' principle......it's not possible..........did you see my post about 'coin tossing' .........it's very simple really.......my systems help you play the numbers you have chosen so that you get the best 'coverage' for your dollar......but that's all you still need soem luck to choose a combination with sufficient winnign numbers in it in the first place | drcspy (146) | ||
| 281859 | 2004-10-18 04:14:00 | graham actually there are 3,838,380 possible combinatinos of 6 winning numbers which may be derived from 40 .......so ..........any six winning numbers have 1:3,838,380 chances of winning div 1 and you have an approx 1:200 chance of winning any prize at all............ | drcspy (146) | ||
| 281860 | 2004-10-18 04:16:00 | Graham, The random is the fun part, there are some stat an programs that narrow it down to 100-000 combos, per draw, with a vague degree of accuracy. With over 16 years of data, there some interesting inballances and patterns. D. |

| 281862 | 2004-10-18 04:29:00 | love to know how youd' get on cause as far as i can see the draws to the best of our technological expertise are random...........same as my coin draw example.....even if you get a 'run' of numbers you still cant predict with any degree of certainty what the next draw may bring.........what language you gonna create your prog using ? | drcspy (146) | ||
| 281863 | 2004-10-18 04:32:00 | I'm too lazy to brush up on my, self taught, programming skills anymore to do this but you coudl possibly work on trying to run a diagnostic over the past draws to see if you can isolate some groups of say 10 numbers which appear to contain numbers which are drawn more often than others then perrhaps play those groups......... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 281864 | 2004-10-18 04:34:00 | Some people believe that there are natural numbers, and combinations can be predicted . Drb1 hints at this with reference to patterns . Now, Classical physics says - nonsense . The Lotto draw must always be totally random . As with your example on the heads/tails for the 100th throw . Still 50/50 probability . But have a look at Quantum physics some time . There are weird things happening at the subatomic level . Particles do not conform to probability theory or Classical models . I won't go into that here . Suffice to say that there "might" be natural patterns which a computer program could detect . Goes against commonsense but so do the activities of quantum particles . Worth keeping an open mind . Good luck for Saturday night . :D |

That is what I meant, As winston says, there are odd patterns, its like the Stock Market, there are patterns, the art is annaylising the patterns. With the power offered by clustering, you can run a lot of module comparrisons in the home, quite economically, that five years ago were the preserve of nasa. D. |

| 281866 | 2008-03-18 00:24:00 | Interesting reading! I am not much of a programmer, but I am intrigued by the maths. How easy is it to write a program that will generate 6 number lines that cover all four number combinations of 1-40, without any repeats? There are 91390 four number combinations from numbers 1-40. Each 6 number line covers 15 four number combinations. Is it possible therefore to generate 6092.66 (91390/15) six number lines that cover the 91390 four number combinations? If possible let me know. | lottogeek (6286) | ||
