Using the Combined Statistics tool I made the following filters for my 4 ball game.
Working on positions. Pos1 Pos2 Pos3 Pos4
Last Digits1 Last Digits2 Last Digits3 NumberRange4(10)
LD1 LD2 NR3(10) LD4
LD1 NR2(10) LD3 LD4
NR1(10) LD2 LD3 LD4
Each one of those creates 10x10x10x10 = 10,000 entries.
For my game which only has 2500 past draws the chances of a repeat are less than the appearance of something which hasn't happened.

Run the Analyser on all past draws.
For all CS Filters select everything which has had an appearance and copy/paste into a Complex Filter group and REJECT them.

It's not going to work every time but just this one set of CS filters reduced my game to 9% of the full wheel.

Can make other sets of CS filters.
3 Positions with NR(10) with 1 position Last Digits
Or
Two of each in various positions.

So many possibilities.
Now I'm looking for more sets of 10 numbers to be available to use with the CS Tool, STAN. :)
ie. LowEven LowOdd HighEven HighOdd - 4 sets of 10 numbers.
That would be LowHighOddEven 1,2,3 and 4 in the CS Tool
I guess 40 numbers randomly split in 4 would work as well.

Grrrrr..... I've not got something right. Might have to change something.
Number Range 5 would be better than Number Range 10.
Really need 10 sets of 4 numbers (like last digits) - not 4 sets of 10 numbers.

Progress.
Made 16 CS Filters using every combination of Number Range (5) and Last Digits in 4 positions.
All except one passed a back-test for the next draw.

Allowing one of those CS filters to fail still gave me a 94% reduction and the winning line.
With all 16 CS filters set to 'all must pass' the reduction was 98% but no winning line but still some 2nd division wins.

Next Step.
Look at using Number Range 10 filters with the CS Tool but only using last 500 (or less) draws in the Analyser.
I've run out of useful filters in the CS Tool. Repeating myself. lol

The strategy looks promising pyst7lot !, but could you provide an example with screenshots when you have it ready? :)

Busy on trying to use the same strategy for my country's 6/40 game with the draw order not being necessary to win the top prize.
I need to start with a full wheel of 4 trillion (40x40x40x40x40x40) which is really slow going on my old old computer.
It's actually 2.76 trillion after the lines with repeat numbers are removed. There are 720 winning lines in that which are the winning numbers in every order.
So back to a 3838380 to 1 game.
However after letting the CS filters do their magic I'm expecting those odds to improve.
ie. a heavily reduced wheel with many winning lines.

Here's hoping I'm not wasting my time.:)

I browsed the Dell Computer website today for a new computer. So many options!

Well, that was disappointing = it didn't work out as I had hoped.

Why not use Statistical Filters for the CS last digits and number ranges? This way you can accept/reject any combos of both in a complex filter.

Are you looking for a laptop or desktop? If it’s a desktop, I wouldn’t recommend Dell as there are many other companies for pre-built PC’s that have better upgrade and customization options. And for overall price to performance I would recommend going with an AMD system over anything else atm.

Not sure I understand you,tdnl. I thought I was already doing what you suggest.

The Dell computer. I've always had Dell computers and they've been good to me - even the refurbished ones I have bought.
I don't usually need to upgrade much because my needs have not been great until now.

Only wanting to upgrade now to get EL running faster although I also have an interest in enhancing poor quality movies.

When you create a CS filter(i.e. “LD1 LD2 NR3(10) LD4” etc.) it will then show up in the Statistical Filter drop down menu where you can select it for filtering.
Example.
Statistical Filter
- Winning Numbers: [ All 2500 draws ]
- Matching Tickets: [ Reject ]
- Analyze: [ Combined Statistics ] [ LD1 LD2 NR3(10) LD4 ] ← Select the name of the CS filter in the drop down menu.
- Match any of the following
- Occurrence [ > ] [ 0 ]

This statistical filter will reject package tickets that match any combinations of “LD1 LD2 NR3(10) LD4” from the past 2500 draws. So if I’m reading your strategy correctly, then this would eliminate the need to copy/paste those analyzer rows to the complex filter.

It mainly depends on your budget and what the system will be used for. For instance. If your going to be running CPU/GPU intensive applications for long periods of time, then no matter what system brand you choose, you want to shop for a system that has adequate cooling or power options you can customize.

For enhancing movies, this usually means running algorithms for up-scaling(including AI), noise reduction, stabilization etc. I’m currently up-scaling some old VHS tapes and there’s a limit to how much enhancements can be done. But one thing is for sure, having a faster system would make running EL or an editing program much easier. :)

Ahhhhhhh, yes, that Statistical filter is definitely what I need. I had difficulty finding it and was about to ask you for directions then I remembered that I had temporarily deleted some filters which I restored. Will definitely save me some messing around.

I was a little disappointed to find some of my filters were repeating more than I expected. At 25,000 to 1 chance of appearing once, having any of them repeat again in only 2500 draws just seemed unbelievable. I'm wondering if I should consider 'accepting' what I've been rejecting.

I've done some minor video enhancing on my current computer and tried some of the online AI video editors on small clips and photos. I'm not so sure they do as good a job as they make out. I suspect they start out with pristine videos and photos which they degrade and pretend to enhance. :) However, I have seen some upscaled and enhanced videos which do look a not better after they've been worked on.

Thanks, tdnl. :)

Something odd happening when I use the Statistical Filter - my keyboard response slows down.
Renaming Filter Groups takes twice as long to type as usual.

Here’s a similar case... In the 5/39 lotto I play, approximately 104 tickets have repeated in 10.5k draws. So, should I be playing only those 10.5k winning combinations hoping for a repeat(1 in 10.5k odds), or play only new tickets(1 in 565,257k odds)? Also, some of the winning repeat combinations can hit between 3x to 10x per year. So 3 to 10 in 365 odds(?). 🤔

I suspected the same thing. It took me a while to understand how they enhance videos to look so good in 1080p to 4k. The main thing I learned is that you have to have a decent frame rate and noise free resolution to start. Then you need to use the right algorithm/AI to match the video/image conditions to get the top quality.

I don’t think it’s related to the Statistics Filter, but there is a few milliseconds delay in some features input fields. I’m guessing this is probably due to the program saving each key press in real-time to auto-save the input or filter name. So if your system is already using a lot of resources(CPU etc.), then the input delay may be longer.

Oh man, I really needed this Stats Filter, tdnl. It comes close to answering one of my prayers - complete automation.
I had things I wanted to do but having to manually update them for every draw put me off bothering with them.
I wonder what other tools there are which I don't know about yet.
I wonder how many years it takes to discover everything this software does.
I need to thank you again, tdnl. :)

Np. :)

This software is extremely flexible and may take some time to discover the features that fit your strategy, but it will absolutely help you win more.

Where do you play your 5/39 game, tdnl?

Does it have good prize money?
