• SkipSystem.EXE: Free software to automatically create lotto, lottery, gambling systems derived from skips.
I created a special system for Powerball, by running software to generate skips and automatically generate a system based on skips below the FFG median. I wrote on that corresponding web page:
Two things were noticeable. My lottery strategies do not stress groups (pools) of numbers. Secondly, the Powerball/Mega Millions/Thunderball games fall way behind in attention; I treat other lotto/lottery and gambling games with a whole lot more interest.
My philosophy is that the combination is the fundamental element. The lotto or lottery game draws combinations (or sets in the pick games). The players also play combinations or sets. Therefore, the most natural way for software is to generate lotto, lottery combinations in the native format of the game. I decided the other day to do a test for the Powerball 5/53/42 game. I have the complete results (drawings) file - from the beginning of the game format through September 16, 2005. Of course, I don't do many things without software! I used in-house software similar to the latest version of SKIPS.EXE (but with more bells and whistles).
Well, perhaps it wasn't nice to tease people with the “bells and whistles” concept. I came to the conclusion that I should release the software to the public. Still freeware, of course - for the sake of fairness. Perhaps for the sake of redemption as well. I mean, I was again in the unpleasant situation to hear from users that my software, MDIEditor And Lotto WE, had bugs!
Look, this redemption thing has been on my mind for some time now. The subject is profoundly philosophic. Can humanity advance without devouring? Think of Bill Gates and Microsoft. He devoured the software industry! Microsoft literally destroyed any trace of competition in the software business! The result is, undoubtedly, you become the richest human in history. Then, the urge for redemption strikes you. The best way to redemption is to pay - kind of a payback, but in a positive sense. For example, pay for the vaccination of all humans who can't afford to pay for vaccines and vaccination.
”Billy, Blitser, crocodile
You devour in grand style:
First, you vaccinate your prey,
Then, for redemption you pay.” 1
SkipSystem.EXE handles the following lotto and lottery games: pick-3, pick-4, lotto-5, lotto-6, Powerball/Megamillions (5+1), and Euromillions (5+2). It also works with trifectas in horse racing and roulette.
The program needs a data file (the file with the results, drawings) in a game. It is recommended to use a D* type data file: a real draw file on top of a SIMulated file of combinations. The reason is the size of the file. If your real draw file is small (like under 100, even under 200 combinations), the skip analysis may not be totally precise. If your real results file has in the neighborhood of 200 drawings, you can get an accurate skip report.
The heart of this system is the SKIP, more precisely the last two skips for each lotto/lottery game. The skip is simply the number of drawings between two hits of a particular number (digit). The skip is calculated here as number of drawings back. If, for example, a lotto number hit in the very last drawing and previously in drawing #3, then the skip is equal to 2: 3 - 1 = 2. We can say that the lotto number hit last time 2 draws back.
This method of calculating the skip is slightly different from the method applied in MDIEditor And Lotto WE and in the DOS LotWon lottery software. In LotWon, the skip is calculated as the absolute number of draws skipped between hits. In the example above, the skip is 1. The LotWon skip is always less 1 than the skip calculated by SkipSystem.EXE.
The difference is well thought out. The skip in LotWon acts as a filter. In SkipSystem.EXE, the skip represents a probability parameter calculated by the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG)
These are the first two values of the skip report that starts every lotto, lottery numbers. For example:
Number: 4
Any Position -> 3 5 17 3 7 7 10 5 3 11 1 6 6 = the skips
The first two entries are 3 and 5. Those are the most recent skips for lotto #4.
The main lotto, lottery strategy page starts with the simplest of lotto systems based on skips and pools (groups) of numbers. There are also other systems out there (very expensive, though) based on the first skip or the two most recent skips. For example, you might have read recommendations of this nature. Select lotto numbers that hit within the last five or so drawings and also hit in the last 10 draws or so. In this case, you would select lotto numbers with the first two skips in the form: 3, 5; or 4, 5; or 2, 1; or 4, 3; or 5, 5.
Well, such a strategy is not standing on strong mathematical grounds. It doesn't explain why the magical numbers 5 and 10?
That's where the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG) steps in. The FFG has discovered that each and every lotto number repeats, in 50%+ of all its hit situations, after a number of draws equal to the FFG median.
I went one step further. It is one of my discoveries in casino gambling. I look at the first two skips (the two most recent skips). Instead of selecting numbers that show each of the two most recent skips less than or equal to the FFG median, I add the skips. In the previous example, lotto #4 started with the skips 3 and 5. Each skip is under FFG median. One possible lottery system will select #4 as being playable. The lotto #4 is also playable because 3+5=8; the result is less than the double amount of the FFG median. Double FFG median is equal to 12 for the lotto 6/49 game.
The system based on the double FFG median is clearly more frequent than a system based on each of the two skips being under the FFG median. In the example above:
The so-called Your System is your creation. You create your own lottery system based on the first two skips (the two most recent).
The Automatic System recorded 12 hits (winning situations) or 75% of cases for lotto #9. The Your System registered 7 hits (winning situations) or 44% of cases for lotto #9.
Hint: Numbers where the Automatic System registers 50% or better hits represent the golden eggs!
You can set Your System to any values you want to. The two skip values do not need to be equal. If you select values above the FFG median, your system will record more hits. For example, values such as 8 and 7, instead of 6 and 6.
The software defaults to the FFG median. You don't have to fire up SuperFormula.EXE and calculate the FFG or the degree of certainty.
It is very important to understand that the probability is very, very slim to play a system the very next drawing. That's so because the multiple skips need a cycle of fruition. That is, it takes several drawings before we see a draw when all 6 numbers have the first two skips as established in a system. I checked a Pennsylvania lotto 6/49 file of 269 drawings. I saw jackpot hits, but they were separated by over 120 drawings.
I have not checked what happens from drawing to drawing. I have not written the software to automate the process of checking for winners. If you are the patient type - you might want to try it manually! Go back 100 draws in your lottery data file and check the next drawings one at a time.
Version 1.0 of SkipSystem.EXE calculated the probability of pick-3 for any position as 3/10. The precise method is p=271/1000. The necessary corrections were made also to the pick-4 lottery and horse racing. The double FFG medians for pick-4 and horseracing were also increased by 1 for more accurate results.
SkipSystem.EXE works in conjunction with the Util*.EXE software. The lotto, lottery utility software provides for winner checking in pools (groups) of numbers directly ('Check For Winners W', then option 2). Also importantly, the lotto, lottery utility software generate combinations from pools of numbers ('Make/Break M', then 'Break strings into lotto numbers').
There are many lottery combinations to play by using the systems created here. That's mathematics. Some lottery players might get disappointed with the truth. Be aware that the lottery is based on gigantic odds. Many more filters are necessary to reduce the amount of lotto combinations to a playable size. I created my lotto, lottery software with that goal in mind. I came up with powerful reduction tools such the lottery filters.
Power comes at a price: Complexity. You might think other lottery system developers give you easier choices. You falsely believe that they make your life easier, compared to my software and theories. The other guys only get you drunk with illusions. They make you think you can avoid mathematics all together! It's an illusion. They also give you the illusion of winning with 10-20 lotto combinations! They simply give you 10-20 random lotto combinations, without any real data processing. They only lie to you!
The main lottery, lotto strategy and software page makes a truthful assessment of my lotto, lottery theories and software, and all the other theories and programs out there. It is as honest as it can be: It's mathematical!

The results were poor at the beginning of the game. It takes a while for a group of numbers to take over for a range of drawings. At a different point in the drawings file, other numbers will take over. The jackpot situations reflect lotto numbers with good recent frequency and higher percentages of the hit situations for the lottery system.
