Great tip Padawan,
I just had a revelation the other day on filtering lol. one of the things I look for now is the percentage reduction in tickets vs past results percentage (backtest %).
If for instance a ticket reduction is 90% then your backtest pass % should be in theory 10% if our lotto is truly random. If our backtest results are loewr than 10% then we have a good filter. If its a few points higher then we may want to avoid it. I've found most to be pretty close but some of them are off a few points off either way.
It would be nice if we had a percentage value that showed up under the preview results
Passed:
failed:
Total:
% Removed:
Then we could easily compare it to the back test results.
Or... :finger:
Perhaps a way that the program tells us if the filter is out performing or under performing the backtest results hmm.
