Amount of Numbers Played?Reply
Well...Jordans, I doubt you are the reason you've had no responses yet but think it's the subject. Maybe a bit touchy for some, confusing for others and turn-offish for still others. #1.

Some have their favorites and stick with them, changing them when one shows up....their mix might consist of a handful (4) to 10. #3. Some rely on hunches, feel

Alrighty, I've been working on some code for the past few days for a new system idea I had, and I'll post the logistics up here and I'll play it out for a bit to see how she works. GENERAL: The general system idea here is a combination of my calculations, and a spin off on the Vtracs system.
