Just found this Forum tonight.....poking my nose around. Love to play the Pick 3 and have been working on my own system now for 10 years. Just within the past 60 days I've been able to finally find a Computer Programmer to create some software for me.I've studied the Pick 3 inside and out for sometime now. Basically I keep a Frequency Chart and Level of Play Chart but have about 41 other charts that I used based upon a Record Keeping stragety I have created. Looking for Repeat digits from... [ More ]

How many sets at a time does it pick? Does it pick one group per drawing? Does the sets picked today carry over to any other day? Has anyone else had these results

There was also some of your predictions I found where you were totally out in left field. Just give me a simple ratio. The odds of winning Pic 3 (straight) is 1:1000, Using your program, let's say for a year, what are the odds reduced to

Thursday at work I walked by a concrete truck that had 471 written on the front bumper in paint stick. This weekend my grandaughter makes her First Holy Communion. Her birthday is 4/17. I said that must be an omen. So I started playing 471 and it came out Friday midday. What do you think the odds of that happening are

How much are the odds reduced in my pick 3 software?http://www.dreamwater.net/biz/sedertree/screenshot1.jpgAs for beating the odds, please see the following threads:https://www.lotterypost.com/thread/68183.htmhttps://www.lotterypost.com/thread/68145.htmAs for fruit instead of numbers . As long as there are a finite set of fruit and they are drawn by position. The results would be the same.

Forgive me if I think your opinion may be a little bias. The programers of these lottery systems do seem to have a lot more success than the average player. Max payout for the pick 3 is $500 for a straight. If I bought one ticket and won $500 using my count the hairs on my head system, for the next 500 days I could say my system beats the house edge. How much are the odds reduced in your pick 3 software?By the way, most lotteries numbers are drawn by little rubber balls, How would your system

Thomas,With Millions and Millions of dollars at stake in one game. How much of an operating budget do you think they have for Powerball or Mega-Millions?Now compare that operating budget on a state-by-state basis for the pick-3 and pick-4.I'm sure that you will find the officials at PBall/Mega-Millions Central have a LOT more money to invest in new ball sets, machines, analysis etc. etc. All in an attempt to keep the game non-biased.My software loves a truly random game.

The reason I started coming here was to see if there was a way to get an advantage. I am just questioning your statements. The Pick 3 mechanics are minimized just like the bigger games. Even a slight mechanical bias would not reduce the odds enough to make a difference. Especially in the bigger games. Even if you were able to reduce the powerball odds to half, you still would have to come up with 60 million bucks to take advantage of it. How much are the odds reduced using your system

So why are you now mixing apples and oranges?I said that in the bigger games there exists very little Mechanical Bias, if any. You took my comment out of context.If there is Mechanical Bias, however slight, my system will find it. If it cannot find Mechanical Bias, then it relies on conditional and normal probability ie; Natural Bias.

Didn't you say in a previous post that there is very little mechanical bias. With no mechanical bias what would it matter if each position has a different container

Sedertree — Sat, 03 May 2003 13:57:10 GMT

Numbers are made up of three and four digits/balls, pulled from three and four bins respectively. With each position having it's own independent Mechanical Bias.Where do you get that eliminating 1-2-3 leaves you 999 other numbers?Eliminating these digits in each respective position leaves you 729 other numbers, NOT 999.Come on Thomas, work with me here.People don't bet on numbers, they never have. They bet on positions. If they bet on numbers the lottery officials would be dropping 1,000 and... [ More ]

But there must be more to it than that. The probability for each drawing is still 1:1000. The probability of a set of drawings may be different. But elimimating 1-2-3 stills leaves 999 other numbers. It would be easier just to use the three positions, but you don't bet on that, you bet on all three.

Basically, Yes. This is where the usefulness of past draws, drawfiles, are utilized.It is the reverse logic that I spoke of in a previous thread.Here are some more links on the subject: Happy Reading.http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?srch=104 FORM=AS4 q=conditional+probability

Thomas Covenant — Sat, 03 May 2003 11:57:08 GMT

I understand your point. You are saying that in a pick 3 drawing, where the numbers drawn are 1-2-3, that in the next drawing the probabililty of the numbers being 1-2-3 are less than the probability of the numbers being anything else. Correct

Here's a nice little experiment. If predicting the powerball drawing is so easy, this should be a snap. Try predicting the next coin flip. Flip a coin 100 times and using past data keep flipping and predict every tenth flip. To make thing easier, here is a online coin flipper. Coin Flipper
