Win Coverage

[Paulo]

Hi Stan,

Does limit exist for the function Win Coverage?

I tried to analyze a game of 42866 combinations and see this:

Coverage [%] Totals [%] Combinations
3 735% 3 735% 10977
10 280% 14 15% 30216

it could be a bug in the application. email me your lottery settings and i'll look at it.
but from the screenshot you posted i understood that you play a lottery where there are more numbers bet than what's actually drawn. expert lotto does not support that (even if you manually modify the lottery settings)

[Paulo]

Hi Stan,

To analyze I created a fictitious game:

numbers = 21
pick = 12
match = 11
hits = 11
combinations = 42866

In this case i simulated getting right 12 in the 21.

Thanks,

Paulo

[stan]

the number of picks must be lower or equal to the number of possible matches. '12 out of 11' won't work, that's why you're getting values higher than 100% in the win coverage window.
'12 out of 12' should be no problem though.

[Paulo]

Stan,

I did:

numbers = 20
pick = 12
match = 11
hits = 11
combinations = 19188

I didn't have problems.

Because this gave right?

Thanks,

Paulo

[stan]

that could have been just coincidence. if the number of picks is higher than the number of possible matches some application features may behave incorrectly. there's nothing i can do about it, expert lotto wasn't designed to handle this type of lottery.

[Paulo]

Stan,

Maybe I am not explaining right.

That case would be the same as:

numbers = 20 | 21
pick = 6 | 12
match = 4 | 11
hits = 4 | 11
combinations = 400 | 42866

I am catching that example (numbers, pick, match, hits) by Covermaster.

In this case Expertlotto works correctly:

0 0 15 60-72 21,672% 21,672% 8400
0 0 18 48 2,167% 23,839% 840
0 0 21 68 1,512% 25,351% 586
0 0 22 66 0,939% 26,290% 364
0 0 23 64 0,026% 26,316% 10
0 0 27 64 0,093% 26,409% 36
0 0 28 62 0,072% 26,481% 28
0 1 10-24 66-93 59,360% 85,841% 23008
0 2 11-20 78-112 12,054% 97,895% 4672
0 3 12-14 90-94 1,073% 98,968% 416
1 0 0-21 96-112 1,032% 100,000% 400

I did and all those didn't have problem:

15,12,11,11
16,12,11,11
17,12,11,11
18,12,11,11
19,12,11,11
20,12,11,11

Thanks,

Paulo

ok, email me your lottery settings file and the ticket file you're testing for the win coverage and i'll try to find out if there's anything wrong in the application.

[Paulo]

Stan,

Which your e-mail to send attach?

Paulo

[stan]

support@expertlotto.com

[stan]

i received your file. please disregard all my previous comments, i actually misunderstood your problem. this does look like a bug in the application.

[Paulo]

Hi Stan,

I think that the problem only occurs in big combinations.

Thanks,

Paulo

[stan]

yes, it does look like that.
can you pls post the complete coverage table for the failing case 21-12-11?
it takes ages to calculate...

[Paulo]

Stan,

The table is attach.

Paulo

[stan]

thanx, i'll try to analyze it and find out what's going on.
