I stumbled upon some old papers. The documents described some old lottery strategies. I remember I worked them out together with a good lottery collaborator in California. Funny, the output files were named LIE.3, LIE.4… Then, reminders to myself. “The filter TOT always purges LIE.3 files. The filter ANY always purges LIE files generated by ANY and SUM.”
The lottery strategy was, in fact, an anti-strategy! I wanted to select lottery filters making sure I set them wrong! For example, I would set VR_1 = 5 and VR_2 = 5. The strategy worked if VR_1 was less than 5 and VR_2 was less than 5 the very next draw. The output generated by the two filters (a LIE file) would be added to the D3 file. I would eliminate all the combinations in that LIE file, because I “knew” they wouldn't hit! I would select some 25-30 filters that way. On many occasions, I would be “wrong” in the case of just one filter! That is, out of 30 filters I wanted to be bad, I would set one of them correctly! Therefore, the whole strategy would fail! Make sense?
Well, as you know, in lottery it's easier to miss than to hit. Let's take an illustrative example, I mean a colorful example. There are 49 balls, 6 being red. The six red balls will be established as the WINNING balls. We extract 1 ball. There are two situations:
1) What is the lotto probability to extract one red ball from the 49? The easy answer is: 6/49 or 12.2%.
2) What is the probability to extract one non-red ball from the 49? The easy answer is: 43/49 or 87.8%.
We notice that we miss the LotWon lottery software filters more often than not. In such situations, we can add the output to the top of the D6 file and eliminate, for example, all the 4-number groups (Four filter) from the LIE file. Or, we can randomly take five filters from the top lines (line #1) of the W6 files. The probability is very high that at least one of the filters will NOT repeat in the next drawing (record the same value). Generate an output file. Write down how many combinations were generated. Add the LIE file to the top of D6 lotto data file. Take five more filters. Generate an output file. Write down how many combinations were generated. Add the new LIE file to the top of the previous D6 file. It is likely that no 4-winning numbers would have been generated in the two LIE output files. So, we can set the Four_1 filter for the span of the two lie files.
This type of strategizing can be expanded a lot. We can select more filters that can go wrong. We can also select filters from line #2 of the W6 lotto files. And so on and so forth.
• You know what, Parpaluck? Don't you ever hope that others would share their gambling or lottery strategies with you! We always want the best from others, while holding our aces in the sleeves. We all realize also, to various degrees, that generosity should not cross the border into stupidity. Don't play against yourself! Read my thoughts on that.
4. Ion Saliu's Paradox and Reverse Strategy for Lotto, Lottery
My lottery and gambling software is based on mathematics. I don't believe in anything IF it doesn't have a formula. IF something doesn't have an obvious formula, then data must show relative but clear movement. This was my rule right from start. I didn't fool myself — and I didn't fool you, o wise gamer. You can see how the strategies are founded in the above presentation.
There is a formula now. It proves that certain patterns appear more frequently in data series, while other patterns go through a delay. It's self evident that the pick 3 numbers show discrepancy in their frequency. Some lottery numbers repeat several times in a segment of the history, while other numbers are no-shows. Just an example. If the individual probability is expressed as p=1/N and we repeat the event a number of trials N, it is proven that the degree of certainty tends to 1-1/e when N tends to infinity. This is now known as Ion Saliu's Paradox of N Trials. The paradox is presented mathematically on these pages:
"Theory of Probability: Best introduction, formulae, algorithms, software" and
"The Mathematical Foundation Of The Fundamental Formula Of Gambling".
If I play 1 pick-3 straight combination for 1000 drawings, my chance (degree of certainty) to hit the winning combination is approximately 0.632 (63.2%). On the other hand, if I play all 1000 pick-3 numbers in one draw, the chance is 100% that I'll hit the winning number. Of course, I still lose money because of the (monstrous) house edge. Things look very different now. The gain is 100 – 63.2 = approximately 37% when playing all the lottery combinations in one drawing as opposed to playing one combination in 1000 draws.
The lotto and lottery strategies that can be applied with my software follow Ion Saliu's Paradox of N Trials. The player waits for special moments when a strategy has a higher probability to come to life. The player does not play every drawing. Money is saved; the increased bankroll is spent more efficiently on occasions that prove to have a mathematical advantage.The strategy-in-reverse model is a good illustration of Ion Saliu's Paradox of N Trials and also Monty Hall Paradox . The player will lose more often than not in the first try. The player should either skip play at that moment, or save the intended output to a LIE file.
This reversed lottery strategy can be an effective tactic of breaking-in the vaults of the lotto odds.
Reminds me of Aluki Barrekh, the most elusive thief who ever was (aka 'Thief of Erith Swamps'). Jewelry, gold, currencies, stocks and bonds — everything he did was dubbed "theft of the century". He always left a mocking note to his pursuers, the police.
"Show me just one composite drawing of the orchid you want and I'll pull it for you from the mare's belly."
Let us do likewise to the lottery odds.
