I thank you all for your kind words expressed here or via email. Perhaps expressed over the phone as well�unfortunately I am not responsive via telephone�

I would have loved to send autographed copies to a lot of people. The number of author copies is limited, however. Time is even more limited.

I sent to my daughter the very first copy of my book. It was the copy of the book before my approval. As the very first copy was as I had expected, my daughter deserved that absolutely-one-of-a-kind copy. It has no ISBN or Library of Congress Control Number. The first approved copies of my book were sent to my family in Romania (parents, sister, and her two children).

I had expected more author copies�for free! Something curious happened. I received a large delivery by UPS. But four of the boxes (over 100 copies) were filled with books by another author!!! I wished they were my books! It was a chore! I finally redirected those books to their �mother� (a woman who writes�religious books!) How ironic is that?! It�s like Socrates being dumped upon a boatload of books written by Zenon of Elea!

The few extra copies of my book will go to some public libraries very close to home and possibly a few select bookstores (promotional copies to the managers). Problem right now is March Madness. It is the playoff stage of college basketball in the U.S. March Madness is the most exciting sporting event in the world. By comparison, soccer World Cup is very boring. The UEFA League of Champions is also boring. I watched yesterday (Internet TV) Barcelona demolishing Stuttgart 4-0. What was that? It was very hard to watch the whole game� Even NFL playoffs and Super Bowl pale compared to March Madness.

That means I also take break from the writing of my opus magnum�

Best of luck to all!

Have you looked also at strings of skips one off like 1-2 or 2-1. They occur as often as same skips. It does not refer to low skips only.

Hello,

Here I propose few publications about randomness and probability.

"A theory of physical probability" by Richard Johns:

http://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/9890

It presents the concept of "causal theory of chance".

"Probability and Chance" - expository article by Michael Strevens

wriiten for the Macmillan Encyclopedia o fPhilosophy.

http://www.strevens.org/research/simplexuality/Probability.pdf

Strevens present different notions of probability with their mathematical basis.

"Randomness is Unpredictability" by Antony Eagle.

http://philsci-archive.pitt.edu/archive/00002134/01/randpred.pdf

It present the concept of randomness as unpredictability,
with philosophical implication of such approach.

"Probability Theory: The Logic of Science" by Edwin Thompson Jaynes

http://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/prob/book.pdf

In this book Jaynes describes Bayesian probability interpretations and compares them with other approaches. Using his own words:

"think of probability theory as extended logic, because then probability
distributions are justified in terms of their demonstrable information content,
rather than their imagined � and as it now turns out, irrelevant � frequency connections."

"As soon as we recognize that probabilities do not describe reality � only our information about reality � the gates are wide open
to the optimal solution of problems of reasoning from that information."

Kind regards,

Nanhajir

Hello,

i still find this strategy one of the best for betting on singular numbers. Thats why im gona present a update to the things i wrote earlier:

Using skipsystem and looking for string of skips of the kind 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 or 4-4 has revealed that there are 2169 cases of such string of skips in a database of 4000 drawings (uk 49s lottery without bonus ball). That means this strategy has a 54% probability of success. There are no more then 4 or maximum 5 numbers that qualify at each drawing. Sometimes there are non, sometimes only 1 or 2. A 50% + probability can give skips of the strategy hit of 10 or greater but i think it can be used if you follow the skips of the strategy.

Good Luck!

Hello friends,

I wonder if, based on your experience you could share your ideas as to what range of past draws should I look at when trying to find best pairs to show up. My game is 6/49 and 5/42. I used default settings for the report, but the results are not too promising.

Hoping to get some feedback from you,

Adam

It is an interesting approach, altho it reminds me somehow (when talking about 'mirror alphabet) of some sort of deviation problem....where one takes a totally random dataset and calculates standard or weighted deviations.

Then the same is performed on the real dataset.
We compare the two and try to predict.

Tis just in the short way of looking at it. As far as software PRNG's...well, my lottery now uses both---a quantum rng generator in which the result of this is further run through a software prng.

Either way I look at it, either way I twist and turn theories around, I still find that patterns emerge, regardless of the lottery methods being used.

I was kidding above.
One method would be to have software to track the movements, such as: HLHL, etc and plot skips, look for matching movements. Or HLH-, etc

Another would be to plot skips H to H, H to L, H to -(even), L to L, etc, and also look for matching delta figures.

Ion, Congratulations. Looking forward to reading it.
And uhmmm....I hate to beg, but can I also have an autographed copy? If not, that is ok too.

Hello!

As I said some time ago, I use cryptographic and cryptanalytic methods for lottery analysis. This is simple example of such approach.

I want to present method I use to analyse past lottery results in "disguised" form, instead of analysing saved results directly. Past lottery results are "encrypted", then they are analysed in "encrypted" form, and when I have some predicted combinations (generated basing on "encrypted" results!), they have to be "decrypted" to return to the realm of their origin.

Method is based on simple substitution cipher, built on "alphabet" of numbers 1-49 (my example is for 6/49 lotto).

To illustrate my concept I will use kind of pseudocode.

Step 1. Prepare simple "alphabet"

for counter = 1 to 49 do alphabet[counter] = counter

Step 2. Shuffle alphabet.

This is CRITICAL step.

First of all, we have to use Fisher-Yates algorthm to get unbiased equiprobable permutations: http://tinyurl.com/o5uk3t (Wikipedia article on Fisher-Yates algorithm).

I found that using physical randomness (for example, from hardware RNG) gives MUCH better results than those obtained from using algorithmic pseudorandom source. Maybe the reason for this is that physical randomness of hardware RNG somewhat reflects the phsysical randomness of draw process. For example, randomized algorithms perform better, when real randomness is used, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomized_algorithm

Another reason: very small internal state of popular PRNG algorithms in programming languages - most of the time only 32 bits.

2^32 is MUCH less than 49!, so PRNGs in programming languages are useless for generating unbiased equiprobable permutations. See http://tinyurl.com/ybwhx2u (J R Stockton's Programming Page)

Second thing, we need to shuffle our alphabet for a LONG TIME. See Diaconis; Graham; Kantor, "The Mathematics of Perfect Shuffles" (1983) - at least seven passes.

Step 4. Prepare "mirror "mirror alphabet", used to "decrypt" generated combinations (we assume that alphabet is now randomly shuffled):

for counter = 1 to 49 do mirroralphabet[alphabet[counter]] = counter

Save(alphabet)
Save(mirroralphabet)

We are now ready to process saved results.

Step 5. "Encrypting" saved results.

we have
resultarray = array[1..6]
outputarray = array[1..6]

for counterA = 1 to numberofsavedresults do begin
read_next_result_to(resultarray);
for counterB = 1 to 6 do outputarray[counterB] = alphabet[inputarray[counterB]];
sort(outputarray);
save_outputarray;
end;

Step 6. Use any methods to analyse "encrypted" results and to generate some predicted combinations from them.

Step 7. "Decrypt" generated predicted combinations:

START
for counterA = 1 to numberofgeneratedcombinations do begin
read_next_combination_to(combinationarray);
for counterB = 1 to 6 do outputarray[counterB] = mirroralphabet[combinationarray[counterB]];
sort(outputarray);
save_outputarray;
end;

How many representations of our saved past results we can obtain, using this method?

There are 608281864034267560872252163321295376887552831379210240000000000 possible permutations of set of 49 elements. This is the number of "alphabets" and disguised representations of our past results we could use. Enough for everybody.

After long work with this method I have the following observations:

- Not every random alphabet encrypts past results to form revealng interesting patterns.
- Sometimes it is good to use few alphabets and compare results.
- "hot/cold" numbers,. histogram, most/least frequent pairs, triples, and so on - all this statistics is totally redefined after "encryption", very often revealing more regularity than results in their "raw" form.

Kind regards,

Nanhajir

Hello Ion

I have followed your thread and replicated your long term filter Del.5.1 and Del.6.1settings in my game. Quite interesting.

By the way, no matter what they write abt. covering 64% versus 77% your wheel works better than covermaster, at least in my game.

I wonder if using on-the-fly wheeling to generate combinations with or without favorite numbers, inner filers should be enabled or not.

Thanks a lot, Brian!

I almost wanted to skip this probability book. But FFG is at the foundation of the Universe. So, I needed to make the first step known. My next book is my opus magnum. I started it first and am still working on it.
