Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On

Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On

Lottery Number AdvisorIn my last two posts, Lottery Predictions, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory and Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away I described how lottery number patterns exhibit performance characteristics very similar to Chaos Theory. This is particularly evident in the lottery number analysis method I invented called Cycles. Cycles are great and no one else has ever found any analysis technique which outperforms them. So, before I show you how Chaos Theory and Cycles are linked, I need to introduce you to the best lottery number prediction tool every devised.

Did You Know That Lottery Numbers ReCycle?

Here are some examples. Over a period of time, Larry notices that numbers hit back to back quite often. Some of the lottery numbers in the last drawing repeat in the next drawing. So, part of his lottery strategy is to always include the last winning numbers in his play list. Larry is playing Cycle 1.

Calvin’s experience in his lottery is slightly different. He noticed that quite often numbers would hit, skip a drawing and then hit again. This is called Cycle 2 because the location of the numbers to include in his play list are found 2 drawings back. Continuing with this definition, Cycle 7 refers to the 7th previous drawing, Cycle 11 refers to the 11th previous drawing and so on.

But, which Cycle performs the best in your lottery? Rather than fly by the seat of our pants, let’s analyze all of them and compare them to see which ones produce more winning numbers and, also, which ones to avoid. This is exactly what the Cycle tool in my lottery software does.

Pay Very Close Attention

Nothing discovered to date outperforms Cycles! Nothing! The top Cycles outperform randomly selecting numbers by as much as 15% to 35% depending on the lottery. I’ve analyzed all of the lotteries in North America and it is true for every one. So, after analyzing every Cycle, my lottery software ranks them based upon their performance.

Now, it’s time to show how Cycles and Chaos Theory come together. I’ll do that in the next post.

Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away

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.

Do You Believe in Ghosts?

Lottery Number AdvisorAfter many years of writing lottery software to make lottery predictions, to give the lottery player a real advantage, I discovered the secret to understanding lottery number patterns. In the next series of posts, I will reveal this amazing analysis technique for you, how it came to be and how you can improve your chances of winning the lottery with these lottery strategies.

Ghostly Lottery Predictions

This happened a lot in the early years of the modern lottery and it is still happening today. Lottery players claimed to have discovered some trend or pattern in a lottery’s history. But, after all the initial excitement,  the justification would begin to crumble and slip through their fingers. As each passing drawing failed to substantiate the trend, it became another nail in another discovery’s coffin. Finding lottery number patterns was like trying to catch a ghost or holding on to fog. Just when a player was sure he had it; it was gone.

From this, lottery strategies began to evolve. The new philosophy was that the lottery was a dynamic and constantly changing system and, trends that were uncovered, were short lived. This required the player to be alert and on his toes to be able to take advantage of them while they lasted.

Evolution of a New Theory

During this same time, the philosophy of scientists, engineers and mathematicians regarding many complex physical systems were also evolving. The emerging belief was that some systems were so complex that their performance was random and not periodic.

Similarly, the lottery is definitely complex. Periodicity always seems to be slipping through our fingers; just out of reach. And, no one disputed that fact that lottery predictions were a difficult challenge. So, it appeared that the lottery fell into the same category.

Chaos Theory

Then, everything changed. A new concept called Chaos Theory surfaced. It began to slowly dismantle and undermine the old belief systems by demonstrating that systems, previously believed to be random and unpredictable, were, in fact, periodic with slight differences between each cycle.

As I continue with these intriguing revelation, you will see a graphic example of Chaos in the next post.

Lottery Software, The Random Game and Good News

Lottery Software, Random Game and Good News

Lottery Number AdvisorI my last post, Lottery Software and the Random Game - The Casinos Have the Edge, I asked this question:

Can lottery software help if the lottery is a random game of chance?

As convincing as the answer was to that question, there is more to it.

Do you want to know the biggest lottery secret of all?

Gambling is a game of opportunities and all lotteries are filled with them!

Here’s one example. Let’s look at lottery number frequencies. Did you know that some lottery numbers have hit 2 to 3 times more often than others. But, wait! If it’s a random game, shouldn’t all the numbers hit the same number of times? Yes! Absolutely! But, don’t hold your breath because it is going to take over 250 thousand years of lottery drawings for that to happen.

What does this mean to you, the lottery player?

It means opportunity! Lottery number patterns and trends like these are real and playable in your lifetime! That’s right! Throughout your entire life these opportunities will be there for you because it will take thousands of years before the pendulum eventually begins to swing back the other way and the frequencies even out.

So saddle up your lottery software boys and let’s have some fun.

Have fun playing the lottery.

Lottery Strategies - Mega Millions and the Bonus Number

Mega Millions Bonus Number

Lottery Number AdvisorLottery players use a variety of lottery strategies to improve their chances of winning the lottery jackpot. But, what are they supposed to do about that pesky Bonus number. There isn’t nearly as much data to work with as there is with the lottery history of the main drawing. Finding lottery number patterns and trends in a list of single numbers drawn is problematic. So, what is a player supposed to do; guess? Well, yes. That’s right. But, just because you’re guessing, doesn’t mean you can’t improve your chances by playing the odds. Let me show you a basic lottery strategy for handling those Bonus numbers.

There are two types of Bonus number lotteries. In one, the Bonus number is drawn from the remaining ball left after the regular drawing. So, in a 6/42 lottery, there are 36 balls remaining after the main drawing and the Bonus is drawn from those 36. In the second type, the Bonus number is drawn from a separate machine which contains a different number or balls. For example, in the MM556, the Mega Millions lottery, 5 numbers are drawn from a pool of 56 numbers. Then, the Bonus number is drawn from a separate machine containing 46 numbers. I’ll use the MM556 Mega Millions lottery in this example.

First, you’ll have to do what I did; create a large chronological database of the Bonus numbers drawn for the Mega Millions lottery. You’ll want to make the database large enough so that one drawing cannot have a significant impact on the results. Typically, the past 100 drawings would meet this requirement, but, the larger the database the more comfortable you can be in the analysis. I got tired of this after assembling the last 146 Bonus numbers so, this became my Bonus number list.

Next, I put those Bonus numbers in an Excel spreadsheet and started playing around with the list to see what I could find out. After some head scratching and a few false starts, a plan began to emerge. I started gathering various statistics about that list; how frequently each number hit; how long before a number repeated; that sort of thing. After a while, I began looking at the results and found some very interesting things.

So, if you are a lottery strategist and play the Mega Millions lottery, don’t miss the next post where I’ll share with you the results of my lottery number analysis.
