Lottery Predictions - Cycles - The Universal Tool

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 Tools - Truths to Lies

Lottery Tools

Lottery Number AdvisorIn the last post, Lottery Tools - The Computer Age I talked about the enormous impact that the technological advances of the last 30 years have had on our society; specifically the computer. In this post, let’s examine how this modern computer marvel forces modern man to question and reexamine ancestral truths and beliefs.

In lotteries of yesteryear, the chances of Winning the Lottery were the same for everyone (at least if the game was fair). But, to continue with this belief is simply a failure to realize our place in history. Only a hermit would be unaware of the impact that computers have had on our lives. Even if we ignore the visible and obvious improvements, the sheer quantity of mans knowledge doubles every 5 years! That means that in the next five years of your life, mankind will accumulate as much new knowledge as presently exists in the world today! Even though it is impossible for one person to truly comprehend this, stop reading for a moment or two and attempt to contemplate the implications.

The advent of the enormous computer power that we have at our disposal today has caused many previously accepted truths and beliefs to become modern myths and legends. We can do today, what our ancestors knew was impossible. We can think about things today, that our ancestors would have considered folly. We can imagine things today, what our ancestors would have considered to be lunacy.

So, for all of us today, it’s time to take another look at the lottery. It’s time to question previously held beliefs and put them to the test. That’s what Lottery Software like LONA™, your Lottery Number Advisor, does and that’s what I do on Lotto Blog.

Lottery Tools - The Computer Age

Lottery Tools

Lottery Number AdvisorThe first record of a Lottery game was around 200 BC, during the Han Dynasty in China. At various times throughout history, lotteries were used as a means of raising money for defense or to fund a war effort. In fact, the Continental Congress used a lottery to raise funds to fight the Revolutionary War back in 1776. In every case, as long as the game was fair, every player had the same chance of winning. But, historically, the games weren’t always fair. As a result of this checkered past, lotteries were outlawed in the US for many years. Then in 1964, New Hampshire created the first lottery of the 20th century. This begins, what has been called, the modern era of the lottery.

Lotteries have now become so popular that they have spread around the world to nearly every country. People the world over love the lottery and ticket sales number in the Billions each year. And with this growth, we’ve witnessed a cultural phenomenon. Historically, cultural changes evolved slowly over centuries. But, no longer. Within the span of one lifetime, the world has gone from no computers to nearly everybody having access to a PC. This has serious implications for our society overall, but my focus is the lottery.

Some people still rely on their reasoned beliefs that were formed before computer power was available to them. Many old well reasoned ideas and beliefs, have not kept pace with the rapid advance of technology. Many old beliefs have become myth and fiction. Old truths have transitioned to lies, cultivated by misconceptions and misunderstandings. Old ideas and thinking die hard. It’s time to reevaluate the validity of old beliefs in the revealing light of the computer age.

In the old days, no one had access to a computer, but, today, your PC has more computing power than an IBM 360 mainframe computer had in 1965. It would be simply naive to assume that a computer and some good Lottery Tools could not shed some light on our favorite, mathematically rich pastime; the lottery.

That’s the topic of my next post.

Winning the Lottery - Footprints on the Moon

Winning the Lottery

Lottery Number Advisor

As those of you who have been following my blog are probably aware, an exciting new lottery concept evolved before your very eyes; your Lottery Footprint. The idea came to me as a result of writing this blog, it germinated here and grew into a new lottery tool that will be included in the next generation of the Lottery Number Advisor. The lottery is fertile ground for new concepts and ideas and being a part of the evolution of lottery software is very exciting.  It’s been said, ‘Don’t tell me the sky is the limit, there are footprints on the moon!’  We use these words to inspire our R&D efforts to find new and better Lottery Tools so that LONA™ continues to evolve and improve.

Some of you have asked if the Lottery Footprint can be applied to other lotteries? In my examples, I used the Lotto Texas 6/54 lottery but the Lottery Footprint is a universal tool applicable to any lottery. So here is an example of the Lottery Footprint being applied to a 5 number lottery; specifically the Florida Fantasy Five 5/36 lottery.

For convenience, LFP formula is repeated here.

LFP = tickets purchased /# of possible wagers in Millions

For the FL536 lottery the denominator (# of possible wagers in Millions) will be smaller than the TX654 lottery.  In fact the number of possible wagers is 376,992. This is considerably smaller than the 25+ million for the TX654 and, as should be expected, the size of the lottery jackpots are considerably smaller also.

If you buy 1 tickets, your LFP is 1/0.376992 or 2.65. This is the lowest LFP for the FL536 lottery. If you buy 25 tickes, you have increased your LFP to 66.31.

But, being a Serious Lottery Player, you want to improve your coverage even more without spending more money.  So, the first thing you are going to do is develop a reduced Play List. In this example, you reduced the Play List to 28 numbers which reduces the number of possible wagers to 98,280.  The result is that your LFP increased to 25/.0928 or 269.40. Not bad.

Of course, you can do even better by applying Restrictions as I have demonstrated in previous posts.

So, if you think you’re a serious player, the sky isn’t the limit anymore. Wherever you want to go, the Lottery Number Advisor can take your there.

Winning the Lottery - Not Bloody Likely

Winning the Lottery

Yesterday with, Winning Lotto Strategies - Grab Your Fishin’ Rod,  we completed our side trip into the world of Balanced Wager Analysis. Hopefully, everyone is now comfortable with the concept discussed in Winning Lotto Strategies - Taking Out the Trash. So, today we’re back on track, looking for ways to increase our Lottery Footprint (LFP) even further.

The next tool we will use is called Likely Wager™ Analysis. It also classifies wagers by assigning each one a score between 1 and 100. Plotting the scores from all possible wagers creates a graph similar to the Balanced Wager Analysis bell shaped curve. But, before we go any further, I better lay some ground work.

LIkely Wager™ Analysis Background: When developing Balanced Wager Analysis, I knew that wagers like 1-2-3-4-5-6 with low sums and wagers like 49-50-51-52-53-54 with high sums, represented classes of wagers that had very low probability of every winning the lottery jackpot. I also knew that wagers that were bunched tightly together, like 26-27-28-29-30-31, were not bloody likely to win either. But, they were balanced wagers and, therefore, were not removed from play by using Balanced Wager Analysis.

I wanted to remove those wagers from play too, but couldn’t. In order to use a computer to remove wagers of this type from play, I needed a mathematical formula that would identify such wagers. It took years of trial and error before I created a formula that did the trick. I call the process Likely Wager™ Analysis because it identifies wagers that are Likely to be the jackpot winner.

Discovering something brand new, that nobody else has ever known, is quite exhilarating. I was quite proud of my accomplishment. But, I must admit, that what I discovered next came right out of the blue. I wasn’t looking for it and I didn’t see it coming. My new Likely Wager™ formula also did something unexpected. Along with creating low scores for wagers that were tightly clustered, it also created high scores for wagers that were widely spread out. But, that wasn’t what surprised me.  The surprise came when I realized that wagers in which the numbers are spread out are also not very likely to win the lottery.  For example, wagers like 1-11-22-33-44-54 are just as unlikely to win the lottery jackpot as 1-2-3-4-5-6.  This was new knowledge.  This was a totally new discovery.

To date, no one has discovered my formula and the Lottery Number Advisor is the only Lottery Software product on the market that has powerful Lottery Tools like this. Tomorrow I’ll unveil Likely Wager™ Analysis for you and show you how it works.

Do you have your own ways of increasing your LFP?  Lets add them to the discussion.
