Suggested Filter

[Alcymart]

I modified this post and instead will suggest Stan some filters we can add in EL.

First off, a Last Draw Filter.
Here is what it would do:

The last Draw filter checks how many numbers repeat from the last Draw. This would be a filter in the Stats area similar to the diff count filter in that it would contain 6 rows. Here is an example of such a filter and its % stats.

repeat %
0 43.6%
1 41.3%
2 13.2%
3 1.8%
4 0.1%
5 0.0%

Hi Alcymart, Whats outer & inner? Width of line??

[Alcymart]

The eqivalent of Width of Line in EL is our Ticket Numbers Range.

The equivalent of Inner Outer in EL is our Panel Filter.

Take Care

oic Many thanks for that Alcymart. Are we allowed to ask what the "other' program is you refer to, & is it any good. ( In my opinion Expert Lotto is by far the best, I don't use any other). It is, however great to get ideas from other programs & adapt them to Expert lotto. :finger:

isn't this the same as 'match winning numbers' filter??

[Alcymart]

Well I thought it would be like Match winning numbers but it aint Stan. I see the match winning numbers filter more like a History filter that leaves or removes the matches in question from previous draws. Wasn't it made for that or I am misunderstanding the Match Winning Numbers Filter?

A last draw filter is how many numbers repeat from the previous draw only. This filter would allow us to specify how many of the numbers selected repeat a number found in the previous draw's winning line. For example, if the most recent winning line held in the history file is 5, 15, 21, 42, 43, 45 then setting the filter for one repeat with last draw will ensure that lines will only be selected if they contain 1 (and only 1) of the above numbers. These filters would be combined in EL stats. For example, selecting None, Two and Four means that lines will be filtered if they have no numbers in common with the previous draw, or if they have two or four numbers in common with the previous draw.
This filter would produce different results from draw to draw, assuming that we are keeping the history file up to date as it would always use the most recent winning line on file.

0 and 1 are the most common and the rest can be removed pretty safely and thats a lot of combinations.

Ok, I wasn't sure myself if we could talk of other lotto softwares... My view is it can only be good that the forum has these other lotto software keywords for relevancy in search engines. If one looks for another lotto software, they may end up here and see that EL is much better.

well, i think that 'match winning numbers' filters does what you need:
select 'latest draw 1' and then 'match x'...

[Alcymart]

Oh why didn't I think of that, it works perfectly except for match 0 for whatever reason...would that be a bug?

match 0 should be about 43% of combinations that have no repeated numbers in last draw.

Load a full package and in the Statistics page, show stats for ticket numbers, calculate stats for winning numbers to save time, on the latest column click to set latest to ascending, highlight all of the 1's and then click on filter at the bottom of the page and filter At least 0 to 0 in each ticket, leave, ok, and you have removed all of the last drawn numbers from the full package. Now you can caluculate stats for ticket in package and the last drawn numbers will have been removed from the full package.

[Alcymart]

Yes that works too Padawanlotto, the hard way but it does work perfectly and so logical too! Thanks

I'll use your suggestion, however the match 0 in winning numbers filter is left useless unless the match 0 was intended for some other kind of operation.

Ok, I have looked at the Match Winning Numbers Filter a little closer, I only use it to remove all jackpot combinations that have already been drawn from my package of combinations that I'm working with. If you you choose the last draw and Match 0, Leave it will remove all of the combinations from the package. If you choose the last draw and Match 0, Remove it will leave all combinations in the package removing nothing.

If you choose the last draw and Match 1, Leave it will leave all combinations in the package that contain 1 number from the last draw and remove all combinations that do not contain any of the numbers from the last draw.

If you choose the last draw and Match 1, Remove it will remove all combinations in the package the contain 1 number from the last draw and leave all combinations that contain 2 to 6 numbers from the last draw plus, all combinations that contain none of the numbers from the last draw.

If you are wanting to leave all combinations that contain 0 to 1 of the numbers from the last draw, I think the best way is to do it in the ticket numbers stats the way I posted earlier.
