Optimizer
This
function reduces the count of tickets in the package while maintaining
the coverage of pairs/triplets/quads for a given pool of numbers. This
way you can significantly reduce your bet.

Controls
Description
- All
numbers found in the tickets in the package are displayed in the panel
in bold
italics.
The numbers for which optimization is to be performed are displayed in red. The numbers, which
are not present in the package are displayed in a regular way (either
in red or gray). The number range for optimization can be also set for
numbers, which are not present in the package. It allows identifying what
coverage can be reached with the actual content of the package in case
the range of selected numbers becomes wider. Use the panel to swap
numbers.
Using button Options
Show Colors
you can set panel coloring according to frequency of occurrences of each
number within any chosen period of winning numbers.
The Clear button cancels all current number swap settings
- Number range to use - it is possible
to set the range for optimization also for numbers not present in the
package. It allows to identify what coverage could be reached by current
contents of package in case you make range of betted numbers wider.
- Select Optimizer
type - choose algorithm to apply for tickets optimization in package.
The Scattered package optimizer algorithm provides better results
(higher reduction with maximum coverage for required combinations) and
it is more suitable in case the tickets in package match each other at
minimum. It means the tickets have minimum of common triplets, quads etc.
These are for example randomly originated wheels or wheels arising by
step by step package filtering. The Full wheel optimizer provides
better results in case of full wheels - i.e. wheels containing successive
combinations. So when optimizing the coverage of e.g. triplets the Optimizer
filter will act in the same way as Minimizer
filter does.
- Button
Calculate coverage provides information how many pairs/triplets/quads
are covered by the current package contents for the given number range.
Calculated coverage values are displayed by clicking the Calculate
coverage button, for example Coverage: 91 out of 91 pairs (100%)
means that all possible pairs from 14 numbers are covered.
- The
Number range to use edit fields allow selecting the range of
numbers for which the coverage calculation as well as optimization is
to be carried out.ยจ
- Button OK
starts the optimization process and displays a progress window;
when the optimalization is finished the filter window is closed.
- Apply button optimizes the package and
the window stays open allowing to carry out another optimization.
- Cancel button closes the filter window.
The
remaining controls are common for all filter
windows.
Usage
Use
menu Package -> Generator
to generate tickets from 16 numbers. The total count of tickets which
you can create from 16 numbers is 8008. Enter "1000" to field
Tickets to generate, chose Generate tickets with random
numbers and select "4" for Maximum Match: "4"
numbers. Cancel the generator by clicking the Cancel button
when the progress bar stops. About 400 to 420 tickets should appear in
the package. Click menu Filters
and chose Optimizer. Check the values in the Number
range to use fields and change them to match the actual count of
numbers in the package if necessary. The numbers displayed in gray bold
italics are in the package but they will not be used neither in the coverage
calculation nor in the optimizing process.
Use
radio buttons "pairs", "triplets" and "quads"
and the Calculate Coverage button to find out the current coverage.
Keep in mind that it is possible to create 15 pairs and 20 triplets and
15 quads from each ticket (when playing a 6/49 lottery).
Make
sure the quads option is selected and then optimize for quads
by clicking the Apply button. The number of tickets in the package
should be significantly reduced. When repeating the optimization and the
count of tickets remains unchanged, the optimization process is complete.
It is recommended to repeat each optimization step to ensure that the best
results have been reached.
Notes:
- You
can also optimize even tickets with dummy
numbers
- You
can also optimize even for a part of the whole range of numbers. For example
if you chose to optimize for the range of numbers from 7 to 14 and the
package contains numbers from 1 to 16, the optimization as well as the
coverage calculation will apply for pairs/triplets/quads from the given
range only.
- Using
Number Swap function
you can also optimize for non-continuous range of numbers.
- The
general rules of combinatory mathematics apply.
- The
Back - Test button is not available due to the nature of this
filter.
