Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away
Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away
In 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.
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.
