Help on expected hit rate averagesReply
Whats most fascinating to me is how every single Pick 3 game that I've ever tested performs very, very similarly from a probability point of view. Take any amount of consecutive games from any pick 3 game in the country and you will see very similar results when it comes to how many different combos were drawn and/or how many remain to be drawn. The 93.82% can be derived from the following formula. It will give you the probability based on n, which is the number of consecutive games played:

paying it forwardReply
floridian Good points, I'm an old guy too, at least as compared to most here I'd guess. Except for a stint working in a refinery and a little time with the phone company, my background is military and then casino work. The casino work gave me a little more of an inside look at this kind of thing, and like I said in the last post in the tipping part, let me add that often people in the business can be the worst. Many of them are good tippers themselves (A good tipper is known as

Potential Reoccurrence ProbabilityReply
This is some very awsome stuff! I've been reading through your various posts trying to make more sense out of them. There are many things I've always understood but was never quite sure how to apply a formula to them... Half-life of Reoccurrence Reference - Potential Reoccurrence Probability Half-life of Reoccurrence - xl = -m ln(1 / 2) m - average rate of reoccurrence xl - half-life of reoccurrence So I take it the Half-Life is the 50% chance mark or

Determining a Coincidence or Possible TrendReply
Finding a real mathematical advantage to the games will probably entail finding an event that constantly performs at a much higher percentage than that of its true probability . Isolate and sequence digits in specific positions, in this case it s a mid position # seven (in a pick 3 game). Archival occurrences of this particular middle position #7 each time it was a winner after only one day, then wins again nine days later. And you get this coincidental? Random? Intermittent Trend? G

Lot's of Mulitiple Repeat Num....SweetReply
The mathematics of the Lottery is founded on the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG): log(1 - DC) N = ---------------- log(1 - p) DC=Degree of Certainty p=Probability Lottery numbers tend to repeat more often when their running skip is less than or equal to the 'probability median'. The 'probability median' or FFG median can be calculated by the Fundamental Formula of Gambling (FFG) for the degree of certainty DC = 50%. Fundamental Table of Gambling (FTG): Numbe

Some will decide to play their local state lottery, some will play the US Lotto, some will play both. And the vocal minority who are opposed to lotteries can choose not to play any! EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY! As the Federal Government needs more revenue, and while a US lottery would not solve all it's financial woos, it would raise billions of dollars,
