8,17,21,29,31,

8 =3 hits in sept /no number has hit 4 times in one month this year.

17= sporadic number not consistant

21= prior to this month has had no repeating tendencies, chances of 3 hits in a month not good

29= shows up twice with in 9 to 11 draws then disappears,, this was its second appearance

31=no consistancey whatsoever, it gets its ass kicked by 30 and 32 most of the time

of course the bad part about this is to never bet on streaks, this could all blow up in fac... [ More ]

RJOh and guesser, these are my numbers I'm going against. These picks are the same predictions of my PB challenge with one minor change. WB 26 replaces WB 27 in my 15/5 format.

1-5-6-7-8-14-15-20-23-24-25-26-34-39-46 and PBs: 4-13-28-36-40

Juat6ntlc,

As I understood the challenge these were suppose to be the least likely numbers to hit. I don't root against or for numbers, I just pick them to match the challenge. These numbers are the farthest out from hitting and I usually pick numbers from the other end to win. If I can ever pick 50 WB and 41 PB that won't hit then I will be on to something. I haven't picked any numbers for MADDOG10's challenge yet.

RJOh, use my quote to answer my question. Are those picks you're rooting against or are they the picks for MADDOG10's PB challenge? If you're going to root against these picks, then these are 15/5 picks.

1-5-6-7-8-14-15-20-23-24-25-26-34-39-46 and PBs: 4-13-28-36-40

I agree with you 100%.

What I was hoping for was a cross-section of numbers, and let me use as an example:

3-12-13-14-38-42-49-52

And someone else posts:

12-13-16-18-22-24-39-42

Now we have a few common numbers - 12-13-42 - and now we can discuss how two people arrived at those same 3 numbers - never mind the other 5 - using their two different criteria/theories.

That was my plan, my point, to see how folks rule out numbers. I know one was is to rule out num... [ More ]

An easy way of picking numbers would be quick and simple. A hard way of picking numbers would be complicated, laborious, and time consuming. My point is that no matter how numbers are selected or ruled out, the only measure of their accuracy lies in the actual drawing. If a number selected for this challenge is drawn, then it's wrong. If it's not drawn, then it's right. No one number or group of numbers is more right or more wrong than any others. It's rather cut and dried.

I don't think the... [ More ]

Well, for one thing, I started the thread, so I had something in mind, and 'easy' wasn't it.

And can you elaborate on what 'the hard way' is ? or even the 'easy way' - You refer to both of them. Enlighten all of us please.

What would be the point of someone selecting 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 ? Or 50-51-52-53-54-55 ? Why those ?

It's too easy to pick the oldest 10 numbers - chances are ONE will hit every 2nd or 3rd game, and nine (or ten) won't, but that is a 'given'.... [ More ]

Sorry, I should have posted:

WB:01 04 06 11 23 25 30 31 32 34 36 37 44 52 53

PB: 04 18 22 28 40

Good Luck.

Why is it bad to pick numbers by an EASY method? Is there some inherent merit in doing things the hard way? This is a rather strange challenge in which you want to tell people which numbers they can select and how they must select them. Sounds to me like you've already made some unilateral decision about which numbers are not supposed to hit. You might be onto something if you can convince the MUSL people to rig the drawings to your liking. However people choose whichever numbers, isn't the ulti... [ More ]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about !

And now we can discuss:

I have #17 and #29 are on my PLAY list, #8 is not, #21 and #31 I'm so-so about, can't decide if I want #30 or #31....

Why have you ruled #17, #29 and #31 out, compared to, say #54, and #30 ?

ALL of my theories evolve around what to rule OUT, and not what to Play. I figure by rulling out numbers, you arrive at a set to pool from, and you are not saddled with 'favorite numbers', which usually don't hit.... [ More ]

It's EASY to pick the oldest numbers, I thought you folks had more creativity.

RJ - you must not have seen my posting I made here yesterday - a day before yours saying the same thing.

I am adding 3, 12, 20 and 22 to my list to go along with 7, 8, 19, 26, 50.

I guess from now on I will have to stipulate no numbers older than 20 games old, or maybe only half of your numbers can come from 20 games or older.

Statistically speaking, it's pretty easy to pick all of the longshots and say they won't hit, because seldom do you ever see TWO longshots hit in one game, but it does happen, letseee........ in the last 104 drawings it has happened 5 times.

Longshots right now (have not hit in 25 games or more):

11-4-6-23-25-34-1 < #1 is 52 games old - the oldest WB)

Semi-longshots (have not hit in 20-24 games):

32-44-36-30-31-37-53

(Yes, DO notice the abundance of 30's in there... [ More ]

guesser, my 5 worst WBs I'm selecting will also be part of 15/5 format in MADDOG10's PB challenge later. Good luck to everyone including guesser. My 5 WBs are 1, 8, 25, 26, and 34.

You mean you are NOT going to play those, ?

I guess I have have to put a qualifier in that stipulates you cannot pick consecutive numbers, or 5 numbers from any one group.

Dare I ask folks to try and be a bit more 'broad' in their selections

WB only, I'll go with 7, 8, 19, 26, 50, I was tempted to say 3, but I won't list it. I MAY play it.
