Just to add a different spin to forum, let put forth the following:1) After going thru oh so many websites I keep hearing, it's all been done before. Just look thru the previous posts. Hmmmmm, so many people, using the same methods over and over. Make you wonder why The winning formula(s) or whatever form it takes hasn't appeared. Which would lead me to conclude, that something different has to be done. Not to put down wheeling, but if you don't have the right core numbers, it doesn't matter wha... [ More ]

I am still hoping to figure out a formula to win I even try adding up the sum of all previous numbers combined and try to figure out what the total sum of the jackpot numbers would be lol maybe one day ill hit the big one

Simple Math Equation For Pick 3 Game! There are seven days in a week! In some states: up to fourteen Pick3 games can be played>> that's two per day.Therefore: [x/1.14159] +/-[7]+/-[.666]=next dailyX=last days winnerTeufellj

I have been examining wheel formulas, and have observed this from several websites:Covering Design/Wheeling Formula Explanation -- C (v,k,t,m,l,b)C = Covering Design, Wheelv = total numbers (ie. 49)k = numbers per ticket (ie. 6)t = minimum hit size (ie. 2)m = if within the v-(total numbers) have maximum hits (ie. 6)l = guarantees how many times t-minimum hits will occur within the design (ie. 1)b = bound or number of tickets (>= 1)Example: C(49,6,3,6,1,168) = A wheel (with 49 nbr,6 nb...

kudos again todd; have been trying to incorporate fibonacci into into a prediction tool, but would have never dreamed of inquiring in the forum for fear someone would want to know what his sign was; the first click in this new math section and there his name is. good work as always

This is a test. ¹ b F(x) = f(x) dx a i = -1 Todd, I noticed that you don't have Symbols listed as a font. This is a test to see if we can display mathematical symbols. I had to open my character map and copy/paste these into the message field. I hope this works.

I'm pretty anxious to see all the math stuff in one place. There's been some great discussions, but they're a little hard to find since they're spread out in the various forums.If anyone finds a math-based discussion thread in another forum that belongs here, just send me a link to the thread and I'll move it in here.

I hear you, RJOh. It is hard to explain this stuff in a few sentences. Sometimes I get screwy with it myself. Good luck to you. OpenMinded

RJOh — Thu, 06 May 2004 17:14:20 GMT

I think this Math section is a great idea, but where's the math. Everybody talking math in the other sections, but now that there is a section for such discussions, I have yet to see anything more than 2+2=4. Let hear from some Mathematicians or see some mathematical strategies for playing the lotteries.RJOhP.S. I plan to post my own as soon as I can explain it in a few sentences.

Looks like we are on the higher level of mathematematics in this Forum because the average person begins with1 + 1 = 2and we have already graduated to 2 = 2 = 4Thanks ToddWebmaster LeRoy

Thanks Todd, one new feature after another. With that said I will make my first contribution to the mathematics forum:2+2 = 4Good luck all.

I have added a new Forum for those who wish to discuss math topics. There is a very strong tie between math and lotteries, so I think this make sense.Enjoy
