Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On

In 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, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory

Do You Believe in Ghosts?

After 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.

Mega Millions Bonus Number Wrap Up

In the last two post, Lottery Strategies for Mega Millions Bonus Number and Lottery Strategies - Mega Millions and the Bonus Number, I presented some ideas on how to handle that troublesome Bonus Number. Hopefully, the information will help you improve our chances of winning the lottery jackpot. If you are just tuning in, you should go back an read these posts to bring you up to speed.

Bless their hearts, I received some feedback from some people who simply don’t understand gambling and playing the odds. They apparently want a 100% money back guarantee. They want to be able to push a button and win the lottery every time. There is no such thing as a 100% guarantee; that’s why it’s called gambling. All a gambler can do is play the odds. And, if you’re good at it, over the long haul, it works.

So, when I showed them the odds were 5:1 (80%) that the next Bonus Number would not be one of the last 10 bonus numbers, that wasn’t good enough for them. They are not going to waste their time on such nonsense. So, let me ask them this. If smart money says the odds are 5:1 that the Yankees will win the World Series (sorry Philly - just an example) are they going to ignore that? If smart money says that the favorite to win the Kentucky Derby has odds of 5:1, are they going to ignore that? Some people are just not gamblers and should stay away; far, far away.

But, for those of you with your feet planted firmly on the ground and with a good head on your shoulders, I’m sure you will understand what I am about to show you. You can actually improve your chances while covering all of the bases! Here’s how it’s done.

For example, if you are playing 20 wagers in the next drawing, then take 80% of those (16 wagers) and select your Bonus Numbers from the 36 number list we discussed in the last post. For the remaining 4 wagers, select your Bonus Numbers from the list of the last 10 Bonus Numbers. Now, you are playing the odds and covering all of the bases. This is often times referred to as hedging your bets.

Please, please, please. Don’t email me complaining that this is nonsense. This is exactly what is done by professional traders in the futures market every single day. They protect themselves from a sudden and unforeseen event by playing both sides. Farmers (typically very conservative) do this to financially protect themselves from a crop failure. This is just basic common sense business practice used around the world everyday.

The lottery is the hardest game in the world to win with outrageous odds. The only thing you can do is improve your chances of winning the lottery jackpot. That’s it. There are no guarantees; no absolutes. So, if your spring is wound a little to tight, try to relax and enjoy playing the game. It’s fun playing the lottery. Just don’t take it too seriously. Have fun with it.

Mega Millions Bonus Number

In the last post, Lottery Strategies - Mega Millions and the Bonus Number, we discussed the problem facing many lottery players; What to do about that Bonus number. We all want to improve our chances of winning the lottery jackpot and that annoying little Bonus number is there tormenting us.

So, I analyzed the last 146 Bonus numbers from the Mega Millions lottery using an Excel spreadsheet to see if I could discover something that could help us out. Analyzing the Bonus number is always problematic because, with only one number per drawing, there is very little data to work with. But, I persevered, not really expecting to find very much. But, as lotteries always do to me, I was surprised. In fact, I looking at including a similar bonus number analysis in my next product release. Here’s what I found.

Mega Millions Bonus Number Analysis

My goal was to find how often Bonus numbers repeated themselves. For instance, column 1 shows how often Bonus numbers repeated from the last drawing. The answer, 6 times in 146 drawings. Column 2 shows that Bonus numbers repeated from the last 2 drawings 8 times. Etc. About now, some of you are asking, ‘OK. But, how does this help me?’ Fair question. Here’s how.

Look at column 5. About 10% of the time the Bonus number is a repeat of one of the last 5 Bonus numbers. That means that 90% of the time the Bonus number is not from that list of 5 numbers but from a 41 number list of the remaining pool. Therefore, if we select our Bonus number from this 41 number pool, we will be right 90% of the time. On the average, we will be right in 9 of the next 10 drawings. So, while the odds for correctly picking the Bonus number for everyone else playing the Mega Millions lottery are 1 in 46, our odds are 1 in 41.

Let’s do the same thing for column 10. The odds are around 20%. Therefore, if we play a 1 out of 36 game instead of a 1 out of 46 game, our strategy will be a good one 80% of the time. That’s 4 out of every 5 drawings. Now, some curmudgeon out there is going to say, ‘That’s no big deal’. He is obviously not a professional gambler. Because, what we are doing here is the same thing all professional gamblers are doing,  ‘playing the odds’. Over time, over the long haul, this pays dividends.

Still not convinced? Then, listen to this. In the last Mega Millions drawing a total of 482,143 wagers had the Bonus number correct. We’ll assume they all selected the Bonus number from the 46 number pool. If everyone had played the 1 out of 36 lottery strategy, there was an 80% chance that the total number of wagers with the Bonus number would skyrocket to 616,017! That’s 133,874 more wagers with the winning Bonus number. Even if the players got no other numbers correct, at $2.00 a pop, that’s a payout of $267,748 more than the lottery officials had planned on.

Finally, a Bonus number lottery strategy that works. So, should you play the usual 1 out of 46 game or are you going to switch to the 1/36 game?
