Lottery Predictions - Cycle Roundup

Lottery Predictions - Cycle Roundup

Lottery Number AdvisorThe last eight Lottery Predictions posts are a collection of critically important lottery strategies. They should serve as a primer for all serious lottery players about how to improve your chances of winning the lottery. Here is a chronological listing of these posts for your convenience.

It would be very difficult for anyone to follow these posts if they picked up this thread in the middle. So, I highly recommend that you go back to the first post and start there. Step by step, I will lead you through a discussion of the most important lottery number analysis strategy ever developed. Without question, understanding Cycles is the best thing you can do to improve your chances.

It has taken 8 posts to cover the basics of Cycles. But, the story doesn’t end there. With your own imagination and creativity, you will be able to break new ground with this amazing analysis tool. There is no analysis tool available that can outperform Cycles.

Lottery Predictions - Cycles - The Universal Tool

Lottery Number AdvisorIf you’ve been following the last eight Lottery Predictions posts, then you already know what an unbelievably powerful Lottery Tool Cycles can be for the serious lottery player. When it comes to building a solid and robust play list, Cycles have no equal. Today’s post will not only emphasize that point but demonstrate how versatile they are; The Universal Tool.

There is a lottery strategy that has been around for quite awhile and, unfortunately, is still quite popular. It is touted with much ballyhoo and hype with claims like, 85% of all winning numbers come from the last 10 drawings. This is portrayed by vendors as a Breakthrough or a Lottery Secret Revealed. For clarity’s sake, I should point out that the 85% does vary depending upon the size of the lottery but the basic idea is the same.

All of this sounds great until a skeptic in the crowd asks this simple question. But, isn’t that true for any group of 10 drawings? Then, light bulbs begin going on and most of the people in the crowd begin to see how silly the claim really is. The hucksters have taken something obvious and disguised it as a Breakthrough.

But, wait! There is an idea hidden here that is very powerful. The idea stems from that simple question posed by the skeptic. Which group of 10 drawings provides the best list of numbers to play? Some of you may have already pick up on this but, the last 10 drawings is actually Cycle 1-10. But, is Cycle 2-11 a better choice? What percentage of winning numbers does it provide? Or, what about Cycle 3-12, Cycle 4-13, etc?

The smart thing to do here is look at all of the Cycles with a span of 10 for your lottery and find out, once an for all, which group of 10 drawings actually produces more winning numbers. Much to chagrin of many, Cycle 1-10 is rarely the best. As an example, we’ll examine the Louisiana Lotto, a 6/40 game, to see which Cycle with a span of 10 is the best performer and how Cycle 1-10 fared.

A real shocker! Cycle 1-10 doesn’t even make the top ten. Now, honestly, how many of you could have predicted that Cycle 11-20 would have been the best performer overall? Or, predict that Cycle 42-51 would come in second? Do you realize the number of man-weeks it would take to analyze even one of these Cycles? There are many lottery software products on the market but, they can’t do this.

This is what makes LONA the premier lottery software product available anywhere. To improve your chances of winning the lottery LONA is the serious players choice.

Lottery Predictions - Cycles and Flexibility

Lottery Predictions - Cycles and Flexibility

Lottery Number AdvisorOn December 11,2009, I started a Lottery Predictions series of post with Lottery Predictions, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory. This entire series of post is a must read for any serious lottery player as it lays out the entire play list development process. This is the seventh post in that series and demonstrates just how dynamic and flexible Cycles really are.

As shown in the last post, including adjacent Cycles can assist in covering the possibility of any Chaotic behavior that might be going on in your lottery. But, Cycles are so flexible that you can automatically include adjacent Cycles. So, in this post I’ll introduce you to the concept of Span.

In the last post, we looked at the graphs of three Cycles, Cycle 14, 15 and 16. But, we don’t have to do that. We could look at just one graph that is a combination of all three. This would be called Cycle 14-16. This Cycle is said to have a Span of three; it includes three Cycles in one graph. Below is a graph of Cycle 45-47, the best Cycle with a Span of three for the Lotto Texas lottery. The last drawing occurred on February 6, 2010.

Lotto Texas Cycle 35-47

Lotto Texas Cycle 35-47

Cycle 45-47 has produced 1.93 hits per drawing on the average over the lottery’s history and will provide 14 numbers to our play list. Randomly selecting 14 numbers would only produce 1.56 hits per drawing on the average. Therefore, Cycle 45-47’s performance is 24% better than random number selection. Not bad!

Not only does this point out the enormous flexibility of Cycles but also it’s power. How many of you would have ever expected, let alone spend the man months of analysis necessary to make this discovery, that Cycle 45-47 would have been the best performing Cycle for Lotto Texas? That’s the beauty of LONA. She leaves no stone unturned to find out what’s really going on in your lottery.

This is just another example of how LONA can provide you with information to improve your chances of winning the lottery.

Lottery Preditions - Cycles and Chaos Theory

Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On

Lottery Number AdvisorIn my last three posts, Lottery Predictions, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory, Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away and Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On have been setting the stage for this post. If you are joining this thread for the first time or if you just want to review, I recommend you return to these posts before you proceed.

For the sake of this discussion, suppose Larry Lotto discovers that Cycle 15 is the best producer of winning numbers in his lottery. So, he includes the numbers from Cycle 15 in his play list for the next drawing. At first, he is dismayed when none of the numbers from Cycle 15 hit. However, after looking at a graph of Cycle 15’s performance over the lottery’s history he see’s that it doesn’t always perform above average and sometimes produces no winning numbers at all. And, yet, it is the best performing Cycle. Perhaps some hidden cyclical shifting of the trend is taking place.

Let’s hypothesize. Cycle 15 means that numbers tend to repeat themselves every 15 drawings. But, what if the trend is somewhat fluid and follows some pattern that varies slightly from drawing to drawing similar to the Lorenz Attractor discussed in the last post. Perhaps different Cycles share the top honors of producing the most winning numbers. In the following example, notice how the Cycle that is the top producer changes slightly for drawings 60 through 71.

Drawings → 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 etc.
Top producing Cycle → 15 15 16 15 14 13 16 15 15 15 14 17

The performance of the top Cycle is not exactly periodic but it is not random either. It is somewhere in between; performance similar to the Lorenz Attractor - described in Chaos Theory.

Knowing that this behavior is taking place can help you improve your play. How? Instead of playing Cycle 15, play Cycle 14-16. Include the winning numbers from Cycles 14, 15 and 16 in your play list, to cover all the bases, so to speak. By doing this, your lottery predictions can produce more winning numbers for your play list more often.

In the next post, I’ll show you a graphical example of how this can improve your chances of winning the lottery.

Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away

Lottery Number AdvisorIn my last post, Lottery Predictions, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory, I raised the possibility that lottery number patterns may be exhibiting performance described by Chaos Theory. This would explain a phenomenon that all serious lottery players have experienced. You know what I mean; You discover patterns or trends that give you an advantage, only to see them disappear like fog in the early morning after only a few drawings.

Lottery Number Patterns With a Twist

But, they may not have faded very far away at all. In fact, they could still be there, a very short distance away, slightly hidden from view. The lottery number patterns that you discovered may actually be continuing their repetitious behavior but with slight variations.

This description of events parallels closely with the performance of complex systems that scientists, engineers and mathematicians refer to as Chaotic. Chaos Theory is changing the entire notion of a random process. In fact, the entire idea that anything is random is being questioned. Chaos Theory is challenging old beliefs by demonstrating that systems, previously believed to be random and unpredictable, were, in fact, periodic with slight differences between each cycle.

A classic example of this is the Lorenz Attractor shown below.

Lorenz Attractor

Lorenz Attractor

The Lorenz Attractor is a strangely beautiful artistic version of a figure eight. Picture for a moment a regular figure eight. Each cycle through a figure eight is identical to the previous cycle and, therefore, is predictable and periodic. But, in the picture above, each cycle is slightly different than the previous cycle; similar, but not exactly the same.

It was Chaos Theory that forced me to look at those strange, elusive and ghost like trends that I discovered in all lotteries. What if lottery number patterns and trends didn’t fade away and disappear, but only changed slightly; disguising themselves, hidden from view? If this was true, I needed to take a closer look at one of my first breakthroughs in lottery number analysis; Cycles.

In the next post, I’ll describe Cycles in more detail.
