LotWin Guru : Optimum Reduction

'Long Overdue' the answer to winning 100 Million Euro?

lotwinguru — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 15:20:00 GMT

On Friday the 5th, EuroMillions Super Jackpot is a cool 100 Million Euro, by sheer coincidence the exact amount of money needed for some small purchases I need to make right now.

I've spent the last 3 days analysing the filter statistics for EuroMillions using our favourite lottery software LotWin 2010.

There are definately a few filters that have made my final lists of required selections for this week's draw.

The first one, as it can be seen above, is the 'With Last Draw' filter. One or two numbers with the last draw are 'long overdue' and by selecting this we cut the number of lines to under 45% of all possible ones.

The next one is the '5 Horizontal' filter. The 2-1-1-1-0 filter usually appears every 1 or 2 draws and a delay of 4 draws already make it a canditate for selection. If you don't understand exactly what the 5 Horizontal filter is here is a screenshot from the LotWin Help file:

So we are selecting 2 numbers in any one line and a single number from any 3 other lines. This represents 49.6% of all possible lines.

Combining the 'With Last Draw' with the '5 Horizontal' filter we end up with 20.8% of all possible combinations or 441,160 lines.

There are another 6 'long overdue' filters that I have picked. I only expect around 2 or so of them to come up so I have set this in the 'Options' but I have set a 'Lock' on my favourite ones (the first 2) so they are not affected. As a result we have ended up with only 6.7% of combinations, 142,411 lines. An 'Optimum Reduction' will sort it in under 2 seconds. These filters will be valid for the next few weeks so don't dimiss them if they don't appear this week. Just keep your mind behind your eyes.

We can share the winnings or I can keep it all to myself, you choose. Just login to your account and have a free share of the lines I've played and we can celebrate together.

Good Night and Good Luck!

Increasing low to mid range returns in the lottery game – Part 3

lotwinguru — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 20:23:00 GMT

If you haven’t read part 2 of this post do it now by clicking here.

So, how do we use LotWin the lottery software par excellence to get 2, 3 or 4 numbers to play? I thought LotWin only supported 5 and 6 ball lotteries.

That is true but the guys on the LotWin team have given us so many options that we can easily adjust the program to suit our game. The technique is really simple. Let’s illustrate it with an example for tonight’s Spanish La Primitiva lottery. The same applies for the UK’s 49’s lottery, the Daily lotto, Lunchtime lotto, Hotpicks, the bookmakers version of the Irish lotto (Lucky Clover), GB Lotto, etc...

We first select 3 bankers as above. These will be the numbers that you DON’T want to play. It is usually easier and less confusing if you select the first 3 or the last 3 numbers in the lottery.

Then we go to the Number Sets filter and select the numbers we DO want to play. In the example below I’ve selected 6 numbers.

And I have set the conditions Min 3 and Max 3 numbers from the 6 to come up. Any 3 from 6 is 20 combinations but if you didn’t know that just click on Build Lines and LotWin will tell you. Don’t get confused by the text on the top of this image ‘Total lines covered 246,820'. That would be the case if you didn’t have the 3 bankers.

Clicking on View Lines will show you the 20 lines LotWin has built for you:

As you can see LotWin has created all the 20 entries of 6 numbers per line but 47, 48 and 49 were our bankers (the numbers we didn’t want to play). So we are left with 20 lines of 3 numbers each. If we were to play these entries for tonight’s La Primitiva it would have cost us 20 units and for ‘each line’ of 3 correct we would have a return of 675 units. (Each unit can be as low as 25p, check your account for the link).

To be on the safe side I would also add a few entries of 2 numbers that would return 60 units if only 2 numbers were correct. It’s the same principle; 4 bankers and Conditions Min=2 and Max=2 instead of 3, which is 15 entries. 20+15=35 entries all together, if only a line of 2 is correct you get 60 units back, nearly double your stake.

But 6 numbers are too few to play I hear you cry. Ok, let’s go higher. How about 16 numbers? That will be 560 combinations with a return of 675 if just 3 numbers from 16 were correct. Somebody show me how you can do that in your national lottery; the best wheel I know for 3 correct if 3 in 16 is 38 combinations and no lottery pays 38/1 for 3 correct.

Of course you don’t want to play 560 combinations; firstly it’s the cost and second you don’t have the time to type them in. Bookmakers seem to be slow in online technology. I’m sure the LotWin team could add a routine in their 'Print Lines to Coupon' function that could send all your entries straight to your bookmaker’s website. That would require their co-operation to accept the entries but is child's play, I've been told. Any interested bookmakers should contact the LotWin team; I can see a big business opportunity here for both parties.

So what can you do? Well, you shouldn’t use our trusted Optimum Reduction in this case but the Standard Reduction is what is needed here. The reason is that as you only get paid for all correct you want to be as close as possible to the winning line. You should use Standard Reduction for ‘At least 5’ winning entries or ‘At least 3’ winning entries with ‘Maximum Returns’. As you have 3 bankers the Reduction will be for ‘At least 5’ correct.

If all the above seems too confusing please post comments and/or ask questions.

Next, who knows…

Increasing low to mid range returns in the lottery game – Part 1

lotwinguru — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:32:00 GMT

Millions of people play the lottery every week hoping to hit the jackpot. In doing so they have to deal with very low returns, in the hope of hitting the jackpot.

The money lotteries pay out is usually less than 50% of the money they take in. Compare this with 97.5% returns for single zero roulette or ~99% on blackjack the conclusion is obvious. But the lotteries have another trick up their sleeve; the jackpot. Well, I will do everything in my power to help you with that but let's continue.

So what are you saying LG? Stop playing the lottery and put my money in a bank to earn interest? Well, from 1970 to 2007 the average compound rate of return for the S&P 500 incl. re-investment of dividends was around 11.4% per year (source: standardandpoors.com).

If instead of playing around 15 lines in the lottery twice a week you had invested that money (like some), after 39 years you would have made your first million and 6 years later your second and probably double that every 6 years thereafter. How is that for a jackpot in a lifetime? During the same period in the lottery you would have played around 72,000 lines out of 14,000,000 for a (theoretical) chance of a jackpot of 0.005 % (the actual % is probably much lower).

But who needs sound financial advice when you can play the lottery and hit the jackpot, right?

OK, I get your point, we need to win now, tomorrow never comes, and if it not this draw it would definitely be the one after.

Let’s be clear whatever I tell you below cannot improve on the jackpot at least for now. With our favourite software we can bring this down to 1 or 2 million to 1, otherwise the jackpot will always be 1 in 14 million for a 6/49 lottery and you will need a little bit of luck to get there, but as it says at the top of my website ‘Luck is when opportunity knocks, and you answer’.

Let me take you back to when you had a few small wins in the lottery, how did it happen? In my experience you found 2-3 strong filters in LotWin lottery software then you went on to the number sets and picked just 4-5 numbers with the condition of a couple of them to be correct. And after an Optimum reduction, if necessary, you ended up with a line of 3 or even 4 correct and you were ecstatic and rightly so.

So let’s start with 5 numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. How about if I told you that if you had just one of these 5 numbers correct you are guaranteed 50% profit every time on your investment? Or if you had 2 numbers correct you are guaranteed 500% profit on your investment? But the lottery does not pay for 1 or 2 correct I hear you cry.

The Magic of Optimum Reduction (you have to see this)

lotwinguru — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 15:01:00 GMT

Even I'm amazed with what LotWin, our beloved lottery software, can do and I'm The Guru. Those folks at LotWin are damn clever.

I was trying some new techniques for EuroMillions in the last few weeks and I came across something amazing. We all know by now that O.R. (Optimum Reduction) in LotWin is a masterpiece but have a look at this new video and you will be shocked.

I start with over 100,000 lottery lines checked in the last 20 draws without 3 or 4 or 5 correct. After O.R. for just 2 correct they have 3 AND 4 AND 5 correct. Is there still anybody that buys wheeling lottery software? If there is I can give them a good price on the Eiffel Tower.

The way I came up with the number sets is 'top secret', at least for now. I was trying to ask the Team to modify the program a little to accomodate it but I don't think they are gonna do that soon as they are trying to get the One-Click function ready.

But there is no need to despair. I spent plenty of hours on the number sets for this week's $90,000,000 EuroMillions lottery draw and I'm nearly ready. Don't forget to pickup your free lottery syndicate entries before Friday's draw.

Give me your comments but stay cool, calm and collected and don't tell anybody!

Analysis of our lines and draw for the EuroMillions lottery 20th June 2008

lotwinguru — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 10:25:00 GMT

Both our 'locked filters' came up plus the number set of 6 numbers for the 2nd ball in the draw (blue background) having all 5 numbers correct in just 97,512 lines (only 4.6% of all possible lottery combinations) for the EuroMillions draw ($68,000,000) of the 20th of June. We are using LotWin's lottery software in case you didn't know.

Then I probably went a bit too far trying to halve this to 45,241 lines (2.135% of all lotto lines) by also adding a number set for the 1st ball.

You can see the filters and number sets here (an asterisk * in front of the selection indicates a locked filter, which means it has to come up).

We only had 1 of the bonus balls (3). My run on getting both bonus balls has dried up it seems. But I have to admit, due to other engagements in the last week or so, my meditation schedule leaves a lot to be desired.

Still the full set had 4 lines of 4+B plus 1 line of 4, 266 lines of 3/3+B and 1,545 lines of 2+B. Even with only 4 correct and 1 bonus the 'Optimum Reduction Max Returns' didn't let us down. It produced only 11 lines out of 45,241 with a win in line 8.

As there was no jackpot winner next week's draw is estimated at $90,000,000. The more LotWin users we have the more lottery lines we'll be playing (for free as always).

What we are playing in EuroMillions 20th June 2008 for $70,000,000

lotwinguru — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 13:13:00 GMT

In forex trading we say "the trend is your friend" and it has worked well up until now but I ain't gonna follow this for Friday's EuroMillions draw.

Using lottery software par excellence LotWin 2008 Lottery Line Builder (the version that you cannot have yet) I'm NOT selecting consecutive 1-1-1-1-1 and I'm locking the following filters:

and Sum of Digits 1-1-1-1-1:

Any 2,3 or 4 correct filters:

A risky strategy will be picking the 1st and 2nd ball correctly.

1st Ball:

2nd Ball:

The overall picture looks like this:

So, we are playing 2.1% of all the possible lines that had a return of 4.4% of all 5 correct in the 227 EuroMillion draws. Just the bonus balls left and Optimum Reduction. It shouldn't take long. Login to your account, select your free set and good luck.

EuroMillions 18 Apr 2008

lotwinguru — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:56:00 GMT

It would have been very disappointing for a mere mortal to see so few of the free lottery entries being picked up by the users that are entitled to get them. But not for me, I'm the Guru remember? as I know that you make your own karma so I will cut down on the available tickets. See the post for 11 Apr, all 5 correct numbers were in the filter set given. Pity about the bonus.

So let's get on with today's business. I have used around 60 filters altogether in different combinations and I keep coming back to most of the numbers being in the High range. Now it might be that this will be the numbers for next week or the week after but the Jackpot is over $90,000,000 so let's give it a try. Adding it all together it comes to a simple set of filters below:

[LG18Apr2008]5.1
Category 1, group 0
Category 22 6,8,9
Category 18, group 1,0,0,28,30,39,45,46,50

This set actually had all 5 correct on the 4th Nov 2005 (26,36,37,38,42-2,6).

Optimum reduction 3, Max Returns, just picked the best lines in % terms to cover 100 users. Pick up all the entries, prove to me that you value some things that are 'free' like the air you breathe and I will add as many lines as needed from the Optimum Reduction for everyone to get free entries for the $90,000,000 EuroMillions draw.

Winning the lottery might be easy, after all

The ink has not yet dried on Mr King's cheque of $75,000 from the British Columbia Lottery Corporation and one of my students emailed me with the good news of his latest win with LotWin 2008. Here is his email.

Dear Guru

It is Wednesday Night in Sydney Australia. I have just got result for Wednesday Draw . I have Won Again.

I started with 17 Numbers, I used Five 9 Vertical Filters to get original set of 366 Lines. I could not afford to play all 366 lines so I used Optimum Reduction and that gave me 28 Lines. There was only ONE SINGLE WINNING LINE in 366 Lines, and this Winning Line appeared in the 28 Lines. I cannot describe how good Lotwin 2008 is, that is making me win all the time.

Thanks Dimitris for your Best LotWin 2008. Guru Your teaching is like Magnificent Seven Movie.

It has become my habbit of winning regularly.

Well done Ahs22m, the jackpot is not far now.

Make the most of your lottery entries with the 'Optimum Reduction'. It is a very special function. Some other programs use wheeling to give you a guarantee but this only works with a specific set of numbers, LotWin has never used wheeling to give you a guaranteed reduction. The 'Optimum Reduction' can reduce ANY set of lines Real-Time even if it includes all the numbers in your lottery.
