Vertical Sum Pairs - a problem.

[pyst7lot]

281 04 13 16 40 43 45 xxxx 10 21 31 67 76 81
282 01 09 22 30 32 44 xxxx 05 22 38 70 75 89
283 01 09 16 19 23 25 xxxx 02 18 38 49 55 69
284 04 25 27 31 36 42 xxxx 05 34 43 50 59 67
285 14 25 33 36 37 45 xxxx 18 50 60 67 73 87
286 03 11 16 19 34 43 xxxx 17 36 49 55 71 88

Above is a table for the last five draws for VPS level 1 (Sum of 2 consecutive draws). VPS in the right hand block.

I want to eliminate any combinations which repeat more the once in any of the previous five draws.

Using the Stats Filter for each of the 6 positions like this.
Stats Filter Accept VPS 1(1) Occurence=0 1 latest draw (6 of these for each position - in a group) Min to Pass = 5

When I do this
Stats Filter Accept VPS 3(1) Occurence =0 Latest Draws 2 to 2 which considers the sums in 284. Min to Pass = 5
I fail but I see no repeats in 284 and 286.

Is using Latest Draws 2 to 2 not correct? That would be for the 2nd last draw only wouldn't it?

Example setup for VPS position 1 distance of 1;

Statistical Filter
- Winning Numbers: [ 5 latest draws - Wen, Sat ]
- Matching Tickets: [ Reject ]
- Analyze: [ Vertical Pairs Sum ] [ Vertical Pairs Sum 1 [1] ]
- Match any of the following
- Occurrence [ > ] [ 0 ]

This will reject any VPS repeats for 5 draws at position 1 distance of 1. You can also use the Combined Statistics feature to setup combinations of up to 5 VPS positions. But in my testing, 2 repeat positions for VPS rarely repeat for up to 100 draws.

... Is using Latest Draws 2 to 2 not correct? That would be for the 2nd last draw only wouldn't it?

If the latest draw is 286, then selecting "Latest draws 2 to 2" would be draw 284.

Just quickly while I try to digest your reply, tdnl. Are you doing the same thing but more efficiently than I am.
ie. I am having to do 5x6 entries ( 5 draws x 6 positions). Takes like forever BUT hopefully will be rewarding.

I wish I could see what I am doing wrong to find backtesting says I have two matches in 284 ans 286 which aren't there.

Yes indeed, more than one match in most previous lines is very rare.

I use Combined Stats for something else BUT it really slows the software down on the computer I haven't replaced yet.

I see a difference between what I'm trying to do and what you are doing although I do what you are doing as well.

In this instance I'm wanting to compare each of the previous 5 draws (6 positions) to the latest draw.

The filter example in my last reply was for rejecting VPS repeats across 5 draws. If what your trying to do is to filter per each individual draw for more than one position, then unfortunately you have to do it the hard way(5 separate filters using 6 positions in each one). Using the Combined Statistics can filter 2 or more per each individual draw which would be more efficient, but it doesn't have a Min/Max and is limited to 5 filter positions.

I think I have discovered my problem ....sort of discovered.
I think it takes us to what exactly is Draw Distance 0 or 1 because I don't think this software has that right.
I wish they would fix it sooner rather than later.

I see numbers in my draw distance two columns are matching the numbers causing me problems with back-testing.

I rely quite heavily on VPS for my filtering and this is annoying me so much. I don't trust it now.
