WN History - SUM

[ifenn]

Hi Stan,
Now, I am trying to concerntrate on WN History Sum..... I just test and it great... But, I have to write manually the sum range ( eg : -10 and +10 ) for every 11 rows. And I didn't know what the use of "Lookup Min and Max Range" button and the checked boxes for " At least............must pass " and " The difference in____to______Column is at most _______to______. I always unchecked both two boxes after write manually the sum range every rows cos I didn't know what is the use of these two checkboxes. :#: :#:

Thank you.

you don't have to write the sum values down. you can use the range lines (the black dashed lines) in the wn history summary chart - read this thread: http://www.expertlotto.com/en/forum/for ... ead&id=167 (there are other examples in this forum)

if you have any tickets in the package then the 'lookup min/max ranges' button can show what the min/max possible sum values are for each column. if the min/max range for column e.g. -5 is e.g. 530 to 680 then there's no point setting your estimate for this column to e.g. 500 to 529 because no ticket will pass the filter then.

all other options are described in application's context help as well - just press F1 key in the filter window.

And what I shoul do if I want that the MIN RANGE is less 10 from the SUM and the MAX RANGE is add 10 from the SUM listed to every 11 rows ? Is it any other way ( besides write manually ) to do this

Thank you

the min and max values from the 'lookup' button are the range that all tickets will fit in. so you must make this range smaller.

if the current sum value is e.g. 300 in column 0 then you must estimate what the sum value will be in the next draw. so if looking at the charts/tables you estimate the next value to be e.g. 340 then you should set your range to 330 to 350 to get small amount of ticket after filtering. if you set the range 340 to 340 then only one ticket will pass. on the other hand if you are not sure then you can set wider range, e.g. 310 to 355 but it means more tickets will pass the filter.

you don't have to type the range values, you can set them by dragging the range lines in the chart window. it's described in the thread i posted before.

Thanks a lot, Stan. I know what you mean now. That means the sum range for every rows are not the same. It depend on us ( how we drag the dashed line ) when we choose all the rows one by one. And, we should study the trend of the chart for every rows first ( wether uptrend or downtrend ) before we predict the sum range. Is it right ?

Thank you.

[stan]

that's correct. also keep in mind that the columns are connected with each other. that means you range estimate for one column has affect on other columns as well. so estimating an increase in one column may lead to a decrease in other column and vice versa - depending on the data in your winning numbers database.

Hi Stan,
What is the use of checked box of " The difference in______to ________columns is at most ______to _______" in WN History filter ? Let say we checked box and put " the difference in 2 to 6 columns is at most -10 to 10. Does it effect to the sum range ? And if we change the difference to 6 to 8 column is at most -15 to 15. what does the next effect ? What I know is, it effect the number of tickets in the package. Is that any other effect such as Winning Number in the ticket in package ? :#:

Thank you.

[stan]

it does exactly what it says. if you check the differences for a couple of past draws you'll note that in many cases the difference in e.g. 4 to 8 columns is -10 to +10.
so when this option is selected matching tickets must have the sum values in your estimated ranges (set in the table) AND the difference in x to y column is a to b.

Hi Stan,
Thanks for the previous explaination. I wanna know about sum range as explained below.
sum range for the result is below :
( I was predict for Min & Max before latest result )
History Index Sum Min Max
0 598 589 626
-1 1099 1079 1129
-2 1721 1703 1756
-3 2414 2390 2460
-4 3012 2974 3078
-5 3642 3588 3710
-6 4212 4152 4272
-7 4708 4655 4790
-8 5589 5480 5659
-9 6318 6256 6318
-10 6779 6724 6790

sum range for the latest result draw :
History Index Sum Min Max
0 525
-1 1092
-2 1754
-3 2431
-4 3049
-5 3633
-6 4203
-7 4707
-8 5571
-9 6280
-10 6776

from row "0 to -10", all the sum range are in the range Min & Max above except
for row "0" only ( 525 is out of the range : 589 & 626 ). Of course, there is no jackpot ticket. But I try to change the Min : 589 to Min:520 to make it latest draw sum is in the range after checked box & skip for the latest result in "winning number - Edit ". ( assume that the latest result is not drawn yet.) to make that all the latest sum range are in the range. But, I still cannot get the jackpot ticket even though all the latest sum range are in the Min & Max sum range before. Why it could be that ?

Thank you.

i don't know what's wrong. you may have mistyped some value or maybe a wrong selection of winning numbers...
try removing the latest draw from your database and repeat the filtering.
