Why should I, or anyone else, listen to you?
One day you calim that it's skill, the next you claim to know it's not. You're just a loudmouth who wants to be right no matter what, and have it both ways. I have the ability to comprehend what you're talking about - but it's just nonsense to think you can do it. If you truly believe you can, fine, I'm saying that you are wrong. Hate on me all you want.
I don't talk in circles - I stick to my points if they're right, and correct them when I'm found to be wrong. You can call being consistent talking in circles, but it isn't, just like you can call the lottery skill, which it isn't.

This atmosphere is fine with me, LottoBoner
Lately, Trend-wise, Digit Zero, has taken FIRE, the last few draws.
I also think Digit 1 will be hanging around, and...
Digit 7 acts kinda funny, but, it's shown some signs of life lately.
Here are Three, from my 'No Show" list, for tonight
3, 9, 0 ( last digits ) let's see if one of those shows tonight.
Being that we are chasing trends, I dont know if it would be wise to go with "No Shows"
as the trend for a "no show" is to not show.
I am posting a chart here. For those of you who dont know, SergeM is the programmer of all my MatrixWalks, and the following is portion of the chart that I rarely post. So the chart is courtesy of him.
Anyway. This is a count of Last 10, Last 25 Last 50 of Last digits. The obvious "Hot Trend, is to have two Last digit ones.
Every "2" on this chart (colored yellow) represents a LDS, last digit same. The 1's have been hot. The 0's could be waking, and the 9's are dead in the water. And the 3's are dead in the water. The dead numbers will wake up. But right away? Probably not. There will be delay, and calculating or becoming aware of this delay is key to catching them. So my personal opinion is to leave the dead fish dead in the water for the time being.
I would stick with 1. And if i was gonna use LottoLaughs system, i would go 1 -2. But the main thing first is for two numbers with Last digit one. Since #1 is a skip of 2, that would be one of my favorites for tonite.

Last Digits ones here has been and is in a LFF. It is Hot to Trot. The most recent draws are at the bottom, the farther draws at the top, from 1 to 25 last draws. So a wheel would have to have almost all the Last digit ones. I would use a matrix walk, and or skip to filter my Last Digit one selections.
Off the top,
1 skip 2
11 skip 4
21 skip 9
31 skip 4
41 skip 2
51 skip 17
Professionally I would play 1 11 31 41 51 in a wheel hoping to score two.
Then one could ask what Last digits come out the most with the Last digit one? Maybe the above chart can elucidate that .
Notice in the Last 25 draws, there has been 4 occasions where 4 of the 5 numbers were represented by only TWO LAST DIGITS. This phenomenon of TWO LAST Digits can express also in a LFF, and I would gamble to say we are in a LFF. This last occurred two draws ago.
The problem is matching the other Last Digit probables with the 1's.
I hope this helps some people.
Good Luck!
P.S. One of the ways I have found success is to find different variables with overlapping flag formations. Not a task for the feint of heart!

Not true at all. It's actually relatively easy to gain an edge over a gamble. Not in most casino games, but relative to your odds of being up in the lottery over any extended amount of play (or even with very little play.)
"Nope, it's obvious lottery players believe their ticket has the same chance of winning as another ticket and they are correct."
You'd think that'd be obvious. It doesn't appear to be appear to be obvious to everyone.
"I don't want to sound rude, but you're ignoring the "1" behind the larger number and that is the possibility of winning a jackpot. And when that "1" is the ticket the player purchased, they BEAT the odds in any type of real common sense. Ronnie isn't trying to beat the odds by eliminating some of the extra numbers, but is betting he won't eliminate the "1" combination with the five winning numbers.
Playing 5 numbers straight up in Roulette doesn't magically eliminate the other 33 numbers, but I've never seen one Roulette wheel that had more than "1" winning number."
You don't sound rude, and I'm not ignoring it, I'm multiplying the probability of the event by it's expected result in order to get the Expected Value. I realize that MOST gamblers aren't actively seeking oppurtunities for that EV to be larger than 1.00 (100%) but I am. It's totally fine to gamble with a negative expectation, especially because you won't find a game with potential for huge payouts and a positive expectation.
I understand that you're using the term "beat the odds" figuratively. But I'd argue that it's you guys, not me, who are ignoring the "to 1." I'm counting both the large number and the "to 1" to get an average value, and I account for the variance. Like I've said many times, it's about players preferences, even if they don't understand the math behind their preferences. My preference is to have as high EV and low STD DEV as possible. You rarely find low STD DEV games, so I focus on finding +EV games, and managing the risk I take. Basically the same concepts that are used when trading stocks. In English that means I have an edge and as little "swinginess" as possible.
Most people, and you've described this, prefer to have the potential for huge payouts. Most players don't have much of a concept of EV, as indicated by your insisting that other players at a blackjack table affect your play. They may affect the order of the cards, but since they don't affect the EV (probabilities*payouts) a player shouldn't actually care what the other players do. And the math oriented players don't.
"I understand that you're using the term "beat the odds" figuratively."
The odds in MM are calculated by comparing the number of possible outcomes to "1" winning outcome. The odds of any one of the 56 numbers are calculated differently because there are "5" winning outcomes. We know it's possible to have the "5" winning outcomes in a group of 28 numbers so we calculate those odds the same way we calculated the overall odds by comparing the number of possible outcomes to "1". It doesn't change the fact there is only "1" possible outcome, it just proves what we should know; by default not all possible outcomes are in play. And it's possible to eliminate a large percentage of them and still retain the "1" winning outcome.
After 300 pages of discussion the pros and cons of the possibilities, LB and rightfully so, wants to discuss the possibilities of successfully eliminating the useless combos.
"My preference is to have as high EV and low STD DEV as possible."
Then MM is obviously not your game, but that slight edge of having better than a 50% probability you're looking for can be found in MM by using 33 of the 56 numbers. When the first number is drawn there is a 59% probability it will be one of the 33 numbers. When the second is drawn, a 58% probability it will be one of the 32 numbers and then 57%, 56.6%, and a 55.8% probability on the fifth number.
The edge is not the same as card counting playing Blackjack, but the same type of edge counters are looking for.
Ronnie doesn't have to calculate the STD DEV of a group of 28 numbers from probability because he knows many 28 number groups will match five numbers in five consecutive drawings. If you're saying it's very difficult to find, I agree but it's not impossible.

Btw boney, just to let you know. Listening to me is optional. you keep posting as if you are under some sort of obligation, or some how required to do so. Are you feeling ok? Getting your meds on time?

Boney526,
I agree. There really isn't a more delicate way to put it.
People like Stack47 are either true believers or are paid for their efforts here. If they truly are believers, they either experienced short term winnings way out in the right hand tail of an ROI distribution, or know someone well who did. Retired casino employees often start to believe in systems as a result of observing customers win with [E.G.] roulette systems, particularly the kind discussed above.
Even when presented with the skewed distribution of randomly generated ROIs that I put up recently, Stack47's thinking causes him to proclaim that there are ways to increase your chances of being in the right hand tail.
It would be encouraging if believers would stop asking us when we are going to contribute something "constructive." If they stopped, perhaps we could assume they finally get the message that if constructive is defined as devising ways to "increase odds of winning," there are none.
All that can be hoped for is that a few curious readers here discover the wisdom of probability theory, which had its beginnings in the 1600's. Mathematicians at the University of Texas have a concise summary of these beginnings with Links to other interesting sites as well:
P.S. It really would be interesting to read a substantive explanation of just what people here believe the physical causative factors are behind a "streak" in, say, roulette.

There were 6-8 of us here working together peacefully til around page 222 when Jimmy showed up and recruited a couple of others to assist in disrupting the thread. (We call them the 3 Stooges)
Notice in the post above from page 222 how he talks to boney about members here (and singles out Stack specifically) and at the end makes a statement that leaves a question to be answered, but no question mark.
