After 3 days of no luck, I matched 2/5 on 4 lines. Things are getting back closer to normal as far as distribution goes, so I expect better results coming soon.

I had five 2/5 yesterday and another three 2/5 today... I could have won a jackpot today but had abandoned playing this basic combination in favour of another one about a month ago... so, today it played on its own without me being in... not a big deal though as it seems I would have to share the jackpot with two more winners... anyways monetary wise it's not much to complain about...

Are you serious! Igor wrote a book that appears to be a bit over your head and he should apologize to everyone in America??? I would think you should apologize for continuing to come back to this thread just to bait Igor into an argument.
Get over yourself already!
It's on and in this thread. Reflection of this discussion says it all. if his book is as what he says it is, then why isn't everyone actually truely winning then.

Igor has shared his method for playing the Fantasy 5 and his book with proof of his wins. I don't recall anyone doing the same in any forum. He never stated anywhere or promised you would win instantly. I wish he would have expanded on Play 3, if possible.

The title of the book says nothing about winning in the lottery immediately. The book is a tool to be used to learn and study the lottery and the math that goes along with each drawing. If you read the book and are able to understand and comprehend what Igor is teaching you, then you should see what is happening in your states game. State to state, the math remains the same. The differences or deviations from what is expected to occur with each drawing, and round of drawings, is the key to success.
It's unlikely any two people will see the same thing at the same time. Some may win within a year, and some may not. I say, what's the rush. Anything worth having is worth waiting for. Just don't expect it to come easily.
Education does not happen overnight. We spend 13 years of our life in school, and then some go on to college for additional education. Anyone who expects Igor's book to deliver jackpot winnings instantly is just not being realistic.
As I see it you have a few options here wander73:
A. troll around here and keep on bashing Igor and his book
B. stick around here and learn something and maybe add something constructive to this discussion
C. ignore this thread and get on with your life
The choice is yours. Which option will most likely bring you joy and happiness? Be careful how you choose, because it just may reveal the true you.

I wasn't talking about the title of the book. I was talking about he has an attitude problem. His attitude reflects the nature on this site, customers, and could affect him personally.

I believe you were in fact talking about his book when you said "if his book is as what he says it is, then why isn't everyone actually truely winning then".
Igor is not the one with a problem. He is simply trying to help people learn something new. Without hearing a tone in his voice you have no idea if he is being harsh, or talking tongue in cheek or with a smile on his face. You have never met him face to face and had a conversation with him. Why must you, and some others, immediately go to the negative and get all defensive and sensitive?
Maybe his online social skills don't meet with your requirements, but that is no reason to continue bashing him and his book. He is not here to comfort us through this thread. If you have thin skin, are sensitive or are not able to take criticism, then....

Shun all Critical Trolls. Any acknowledgement of these Lower Creatures only emboldens them to vomit more.
That Being Said, how about some technical questions and observations.
I have been working on an Excel File that Counts the Number of Hits in 6 Rounds of 8 Consecutive Draws for CA Fantasy 5. 6 Rounds of 8 Draws is the Basic Block for your system so I wanted to take one of my old files and analyze the many columns (in addition to the hit counts for each Number) during a 48 Game Series that had a Variable Starting Date. When I create a formula (and the beauty of Excel or any spreadsheet) it is always “dynamic”. That allows for variable Start Dates for all Rounds. A Complete 48 Draw Series divided into 6 Rounds is the Output, with the option to Vary the Start Date of the Oldest Round. The missing 80 Draws from Ca Fantasy 5 Game Numbers presented some questions. Those missing draws have a minuscule effect on the Current to be sure, but they do affect the Starting Value of the First 48 Draws if one uses the game number instead of the Number of lines in the historical data. Heck, it probably does not matter with respect to the Balance Ratios overall but there is more to the question. At some point you have to Select a Starting point That point is then increased by 8 to Set the Start of the 6 Round produced in the output.
The basic function in the file is the Indirect Function combined with an Address Statement. Creating 48 Lines in Groups of 8 Draws Beginning with any of the Games in the Data File. I See from your Book Preview that you designate the most Current Round (6), The Oldest Round (1). This should have been an easy task as the Setup requires only a few (multiples of 39) formulas, copied in multiple Columns; but, I spent a few days spinning the Table back and forth (Descending, Ascending Dates). I have always been a Descending Order Guy because it puts the Current Draw at the Top of my columns near the Headers. I First built a Tab that was in Ascending Order (Prompted I guess by your Round Sequence Order), but I had to Hide Lines to See the most Current Data for Test Runs and “Predictions”. I settled on Descending Order and I reversed the Run Sequence Order. My reason for this evolved as I watched the output changes created by Start Date Changes for the First round. Eventually, I wanted a way to look at the most current Series in a dynamic way. For example, I can designate where the Next Draw is in any one of the 6 Rounds, ie: Setting it as the 4th Game in Round 3 (the point when all numbers are usually drawn at least once). It also suggests that after 3 to 4 Rounds the series should be restarted. This might be a bit more dynamic and thus more confusing (with the added insanity of way too many options); but it could provide a way for one to find the optimum start date and position (if there is one). One could decide to always look at the next draw at a fixed point in a Round or let all Series start with a set point (multiple of 6 based on the Game Number or Game Count) and proceed until the 48 game series is completed.
I have to note and apologize; but, I have only read the Book preview. From Posts on this thread, I not that the term “Structure” used by MrB and CarBob. The Structures appear to be related to the Running Count of hits from the Series Starting Point. I am seeing 001, 002 and 003 as the Structures. It seams to me that there should be 4 “Structures” based counts for 0,1,2 and 3 or more hits. The problem (or opportunity) is that after 3-4 rounds there are usually no numbers that have not hit. Using “Structures” is nothing more than a filter that groups numbers (in this case by Hit count). I have a Gigantic Data Extractor for Fantasy 5 that uses Zones for Hit Counts (3) and Skips (4) with derivatives (4) such as Skip divided by frequency. There are different inventories of numbers in each Zone or Structure from game to game. Those inventories can produce over 10,000 combinations when only one Zone group or Structure is used as a Filter. A few Numbers Migrate Every drawing (based on the starting point of the Series). Migration analysis over 8 games will be an interesting analysis of my Gigantic Data file; but, before going There, I wanted to stop for some input.
I may eventually take the step and make my first ever on-line purchase; but, Not Yet. In the mean time could someone give me the idea behind the Structures. How are they Defined and Grouped? How are they used to make selections? How are numbers within a structure selected to create the 40 or so Combinations that would be played. I know….Buy the Book! If I want answers. I am just trying to make Small steps into this process or parallel it by getting the First Filters Set the same way that the author intended and then move on to the Real Strategy in the Book.

"It seams to me that there should be 4 “Structures” based counts for 0,1,2 and 3 or more hits."
The structures indicate the state of the number after it has been drawn. Therefore 000 is not valid in Igor's book/method. You are free to use any structure format you'd like, but for the sake of this thread, we try to stick to one set of terminology to avoid confusion.
As for the rest of your data, I will take a look at it later when time allows.
And yes, I agree on the troll comment. I always try to appeal to ones sense of humanity and reasoning, but in some cases it's hopeless.

Ok but there is still a 4th State until all numbers have been drawn. What Do we call it? How do We Select numbers from a Structure, when in later rounds almost all of the Numbers are in Structure 002 or 300?

It's in the Book, Right?
Yes, it's in the book.
Trying to work off of the book preview will not be enough. I know you are not asking this, but for me, or anyone else to post detailed info here from the book is not the way to go.
We work with 3 states for a structure:
001(first time drawn in current round)
002(second time drawn in current round)
003(third or more time drawn in current round)
We select structures and numbers based on the current round only. We are trying to pick numbers that will be drawn to complete the current round.
There are 21 possible structures to choose from, the top 7 (most used) structures make up 70% - 75% of the winning combinations.
The book will show you the math that helps guide you through the structures and what to expect for each round.
With your brains and Excel skills Allen, you should be up and running in no time once you read the book.
I am not getting compensated in any way for praising and/or recommending Igor's book. I am just stating a fact, if you want to use Igor's method, you need to read the book. Some will get it, others will not.

Ok. No more specific questions about what is in the Book.
I am starting to get the gist of the Structure now from your explanation.
Any thoughts on the Variable Round Starting Options?
Can you imagine any way that this feature could improve Results?

He said something to the degree about American's . I guess I can read different things and somewhere people can't because I read it and it wasn't taken off or deleted. It had nothing to do with his book.
