Menu: Filters Winning Numbers History
Segments
Using this filter you filter the package by estimating the count of numbers in individual segments within History Differences tables.
Example [Expert Lotto 6/49]:
You
use this filter for one history column at a time only (option History
to show). The order of columns when applying this filter does not
matter. It is recommended to use Apply button to keep the filter
window open to repeat the filtration for other column(s). When switching
the history columns the segment sizes will revert to their default values
however your minimum and maximum settings for each segment will be remain
intact.
The default segment size is approximately one third of all rows in the
table. So the first segment ends at one third of the maximum difference
value, the second segment starts on the next row and ends at the second
third of the maximum difference and the third segment starts on the next
row and ends at the last table row (row with the maximum difference).
Note: A possible strategy is to have the first segments to always end at the 4th table row while requiring at least 2 and at most 5 numbers in these segments. Such filter is generic enough and works in most cases. This is an example where the Auto-update option should remain unchecked.
The example above for 1000 random tickets specifies that:
Filtered tickets must meet all conditions set above. Because each ticket consists of 6 numbers, the filtered tickets will contain 3 numbers from the 1st segment and 2 numbers from the 2nd segment and 1 number from the 3rd segment.
If you change filter parameters to: 3 to 4 numbers from the 1st segment, 2 to 4 from the 2nd segment and 0 from the 3rd segment the remaining tickets in the package will contain 3 to 4 numbers from the 1st segment together with 2 to 3 numbers from the 2nd segment.
