joker, et al-

Pathetic is an understatement.....

The moment they do it once, without telling the player the new positions, it's pretty much hard to predict. ~j

OPERATOR'S INTENTION-

The main reason this is done is to affect the outcome otherwise why all this effort ??? Every time a game operators changes something it's usually for their bnefit and adversely affects the players and it's called manipulation, especially in past performances as joker says and reasons most of our predict...

My post was suggesting an answer based on personal research into the FL6/53 game as to why some balls are drawn more often for the life of a ballset collection only to suddenly change their rate of draws when the old ballset collection is destroyed and replaced with new.

IMHO some balls are bouncier than other, they fly around the chamber faster, pass the draw tube more often and are thus in a position to be drawn more often.

Random drawings are a process that takes place pretty much... [ More ]

Since the outcomes of the drawings are random, the only constants a player should expect are the number of balls in the mix and the number of balls drawn.

Thanks for sharing your view point! Variety in concepts is certainly a plus!

I didnt proclaim to test the theory. Other priorities take precedence. Which is a driving force for change :)

Thanks KyFloyd for interjecting what COULD possibly be the imposing factors in creating the change. SO long as there is data to support that the weight and force are interferred upon , that DOES create the difference in draw. That does make sense! So thanks for clarifying.

Just wanted to point out that your theory about the moon is false when applied to small objects such as the balls. Years ago I had a debate about this with a friend, but not about lottery balls and the moon but about the moon's influence on things on earth. After much research I found that the moon only significantly affects LARGE bodies such as the oceans and the sorts, not small objects. Surely there is a tug on the ping pong balls, but it's so infintesimally small that it bears no mention. La... [ More ]

What Bob said. And then some.

Not only is the weight of the balls in a new ball set going to be different, the weight of the current ball set is going to change every time the balls are used. The balls scrape against other things and some material is scraped off. Some material may be added. Even if that wasn't true, the weight changes constantly as a result of air pressure, temperature and the position of the moon. Every day the moon pulls billions and billions of tons of water intobays, and... [ More ]

Sounds to me the assumptions are yours and you haven't tested your claims.

Well I did the test in Florida twice and found the changing out of ballsets did change the frequency of numbers drawn.

I went back the necessary years and checked the frequency of numbers for each quarter of the year for the two years the ballsets were used.

The same hot numbers were hot for each quarter. The same average numbers were average for each quarter and the same cold numbers remained cold for e... [ More ]

Never quite got the concept of tossing out sheets when the balls are re-established .

The weight of the balls are what they are. The pressure of the air is the same. THere is no factor that I know of that creates a change that would affect the draw.

Some folks just assume because its a new set that it affects the mechanical feature. It doesnt.

So play on because what holds true is ya dont win if ya dont play.

What can you do? Either keep playing or don't.

The whole thing stinks. It really doesn't matter if they rotate the balls and machines 47 times and hour, for 10 hours before the draw. The moment they do it once, without telling the player the new positions, it's pretty much hard to predict. The history of the tubes is lost.

Perhaps, that overdue number you were waiting 2 months for came out in the pretest, and you never even knew it cause they didn't tell you. Pathetic.

People are so wor... [ More ]

I don't do anything. But then, my state only has ball drawings for Powerball. The rest of the games are RNG.

All lotteries using machanical ball selection have multiple machines and ball sets.

Texas introduced new ball sets for the Cash 5 game on July 1, 2009

New machines and balls were adopted for the Texas Two-Step game on Feb. 1, 2008.

Texas Lotto got new machines and balls on Feb. 1, 2009.

New balls were introduced for the Pick 3 game on April 1, 2009

What is a player to do!

There seems to be 3 choices:

1. Do nothing.

2. Keep logging the data, combining the old and new.
