Steps I use to filter numbers using LotSoft Pro:
1. find the three (3) best performing digit series of numbers
2. look at your boxed pairs and any pair that matches the 3 best performing digits, write them down; skips should be at least 45 or more.
3. look at pairs straight and write down all straight pairs that match the 3 best performing digits, write them down. What you are looking for are pairs that have not gone beyond their average skip. You will not have that many pairs to write down when you combine with the boxed pairs.
4. review hot, cold, between digits; in the middle you will see a number grid which has, "times," and "ago, as headers. This is a strong filter to use when you are trying to narrow down your numbers to play.
5. review widths to see what widths you can eliminate in current game play.
6. review filter boxed patterns to see what you can eliminate in that window; don't go crazy by using filtering too much you might filter out the wrong numbers.
7. review LDR to see which one you can eliminate from the draw
8. review root sums to see which one you can eliminate from the draw
9. check out v-tracs patterns to see if a repeat v-trac might come back
10. review digits and their skips to see if a digit has been out for a long time
11. review last number drawn and check out how many times a return digit has come back to the draw
12. review mirrors to see if a mirror is due
13. review 6 digit series
14. review 5 digit series
15. after reviewing the filters, take the pairs that you wrote down and go the lottery posts deflate program and plug those pairs into the pairs filters; the numbers that you filter will go into the box numbers to deflate box; press the deflate button and those are they numbers that should be considered for play in the drawing. Keep in mind that filtering will ultimately be up to you and what you feel should be filtered. There is no exact science to to it, but do it a couple of times and you will eventually get the hang of it. I hope this tid-bit of information helps.
