Lottery Strategies

In the last post, we were working with the Florida Fantasy Five 5/36 lottery.  By reducing our Play List to 28 numbers, we had improved our Lottery Footprint (LFP) from 66 to 269 and change. Now, this was before any Restrictions™ had been put in place. So, let’s do that now. Since, we’ve done this before in previous posts, we’ll skip the preamble and get right to it.

First, let’s use the Lottery Number Advisor to remove all wagers with all Even or all Odd numbers. This removes 5,160 wagers from play and raises our LFP to 25/.08764 or 285.  This feels like throwing ballast overboard in a hot air balloon; getting rid of the excess baggage. You can feel our lottery prospects beginning to soar.

Next, let’s throw some more weight overboard by using Balanced Wager Restrictions™. If this is new to you, you can catch up by reading Winning Lotto Strategies - Graph Your Fishin’ Rod. By setting the Minimum and Maximum Restrictions™ to 30 and 70, we can remove another 14,917 wagers from play. This raises the LFP to 25/.072723 or 344.  Now, we’re talking baby.

Let’s lighten our lottery balloon a little more by using Likely Wager™ Restrictions™. For background on this fascinating and amazing topic see my previous posts Winning Lotto Strategies - Not Bloody Likely and Winning Lotto Strategies - A Likely Story. Of course you could always get serious and buy LONA™, too.

Setting the Minimum and Maximum Likely Wager™ Restrictions™ to 15 and 70, we can remove an additional 14,805 wagers from play. This raises the LFP to 25/.057918 or 432!  Amazing!  We’ve gone from 66 to 432!

Jumping Jackpots Bat Man, this is no Joke.

You’re right Robin. This is the time for Serious Lottery Players everywhere to heed the call.  Your Lottery Number Advisor awaits.

Well, don’t just sit there. Fish or cut bait.

Winning the Lottery

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.

Lottery Strategies

Now that we understand Likely Wager™ Analysis, Winning Lotto Strategies - A Likely Story, lets use this lotto strategy to advantage and increase our Lottery Footprint (LFP) even further. For the benefit of those just entering this ongoing discussion, this series of posts all started on October 20, 2008, with Winning Lotto Strategies - Footprints on the Brain.

The last improvement in LFP was made using Balanced Wager Analysis. For review you can see that post at Winning Lotto Strategies - Taking Out the Trash. We were able to reduce the possible winning wagers to 3,053,665 and achieve a LFP of 8.19; a 13.1% improvement.

By applying Likely Wager™ Analysis in the last post, we were able to remove another 409,405 wagers from play. All of these wagers had a low probability of ever being the lottery jackpot winner. This shrinks the pool of the possible winning wagers to 2,644,260 and our LFP improves to 9.45.  That’s another 15.4% improvement! Welcome to the big leagues. You’re officially a Serious Lottery Player.

LFP=25/2.64426=9.45

So, How much would the typical player have to spend to achieve the same LFP as you? The answer is $244.

Dollars=9.45×25.827165 = $244

In other words, using the Lottery Number Advisor, you could spend $25 and achieve the same coverage or LFP as a typical lottery player spending $244! And Lottery Number Advisor only costs $80.

This entire process of trimming low probability wagers is called Restriction™ Analysis and no Lottery Software does it like LONA™. There is more good news. We’ve only skimmed the surface of this amazing topic.

So, ‘Oh, Great Fence Sitter’, what are you waiting for? It’s time to step up to the big leagues.

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.

Lottery Strategies

In the last post, Winning Lotto Strategies - Taking Out the Trash, we were able to raise our Lottery Footprint (LFP) to 8.19. Today, I promised to improve the LFP even further.  But, that was before I received an email that challenged the validity of removing the low and high number combinations. Some people just don’t like to take out the trash.

This question falls under the category of Balanced Wager Analysis and it’s a logical and valid question to the skeptic unfamiliar with that topic.  So, in order to provide aid and comfort to those unfamiliar with the concept of a Balanced Game, I’ve decided to introduce a soliloquy (Great word, heh!) into this dialog and forego improving the LFP for awhile. Don’t worry, this side trip will be more than worth it.

Balance Wager Primer: The Balanced Wager owes it name to the ever popular playground attraction; the teeter-totter. Ahhhhh, that brings back fond memories. Except when your best friend jumped off and your bottom was sore for a week. OUCH!  Your friend apparently forgot that the key to successful teeter-tottering is to maintain balance.

That same lesson applies to the lottery.  Too many low numbers in the wager and it tilts to one side.  Too many high numbers in the wager and it tilts to the other side. Developing an understanding of such Lottery Number Patterns is crucially important to the Serious Lottery Player.

There is a way to quantify this observation. Simply add up the numbers in the wager. For the wager 1-2-3-4-5-6 the sum is 21. This is the minimum. For the wager 49-50-51-52-53-54 the sum is 309. This is the maximum. And guess what?  The vast majority of lottery drawings are Balanced Wagers; neither tilting to far to one side or the other. So, spending your money on a wager near the minimum or maximum is probably not a very effective use of your lottery budget.

Still not convinced? Still don’t believe me? That’s OK. I’ll let the Lotto Texas 6/54 lottery speak for itself. In the next post, I’ll show you a Lottery Number Advisor graph, that very effectively, quiets even the most vehement skeptic.

I love skeptics. They’ve provided me with endless hours of satisfaction as, one by one, they come over from the dark side and make my day.
