Edward O Thorp wasn't the first to explore Blackjack card counting, was one of the more famous and he mentioned the effect if fives were removed from the deck. If all four fives were dealt on the first hand from a single deck, players would have a huge advantage. Comparing that to lottery drawings is like shuffling the deck after every hand.

One of the first PC lottery programs I had was based on hot and cold numbers. It was a designed to place the favored hot and cold numbers into wheels.... [ More ]

I remember reading if 5's were removed from a shoe playing blackjack. It would help the player statistically. I wonder if it would be beneficial if we could eliminate numbers that have just ran a hot streak or haven't hit in 25 draws or so. The hot streak could be from 8 to 10 hits in 20 draws. 37 hit 9 times in 20 draws. It hasn't hit last 13 draws in the rolling cash five. 25 is coldest number. Out 33 draws. There's my two. Anyone have any other suggestions. I have pattern eliminators. Say the... [ More ]

Thanks.

When the Ohio Lotto was 6/44 and two lines for a buck, wrote down all the numbers, mixed them up, and created combos by drawing each number one at a time. Cost $4 for eight lines. About a month later caught 5 out of 6 and won just under $900, Games have changed and costs have made playing wheels almost obsolete.

The pick 5 games that pay $1 for matching two and $10 for matching three, are still worth wheeling.

Abbreviated wheels are mostly designed for guaranteeing winning smaller prizes so the odds against are much smaller.

It'z the remaing numberz used AFTER removement verses the Total numberz in the Game'z POOL..that determinez the Probability

If three numbers are removed from 5/39 game or any pick 5 game, it's a fact five of the remaining numbers will be drawn. But if saying there is a 100% probability makes you feel smarter, go for it.

Back in the day when all pick 5, 5 + 1, and 6 tickets were a $1, played abbreviated wheels that included eliminating numbers and obviously the combos they are in. My favorite was a 14 number 3 if 4 wheel with 19 lines I used playing Ohio's 5/39 Rolling Cash game. Winning the jackpot meant none of the 25 numbers I wasn't using could be drawn.

A full 14 number pick 5 wheel has 2002 combinations so the odds of one of those combos being drawn are 2002 divided by the total of the 575,757 possibl... [ More ]

How would you calculate the odds by removing certain combinations,

It'z not the pairs or triplez that count in the probabilitiez.. It'z the remaing numberz used AFTER removement verses the Total numberz in the Game'z POOL..that determinez the Probability ,... it also helpz approximately %,..if you uze the Math of a Stat$talker ....

Lets say you want to remove a set of combinations, for example a single pair, 1,5 . Or a triple, 1,5,15 , etc. How would you calculate the odds by removing certain combinations, is there a formula or website you can do it with
