kdsjeter,
This filter has two names:
1. Single Segment Repeats With Prev 1
2. Match Single Segment Repeats
Both names are inaccurate, confusing and difficult to remember. However, finding convenient names for such filters is difficult.
I understand that this filter counts the repeats of the same segments if they are repeated in the same columns.
I will use your own example to discuss this matter.
0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6 -7 -8 -9 -10
01/02/08 4-1-0, 3-2-0, 5-0-0, 2-1-2, 4-1-0, 5-0-0, 3-1-1, 5-0-0, 3-2-0, 5-0-0, 4-1-0
01/03/08 5-0-0, 4-1-0, 5-0-0, 5-0-0, 4-1-0, 4-1-0, 5-0-0, 3-1-1, 5-0-0, 5-0-0, 5-0-0
01/04/08 n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a, n/a
You need to compare the right segments in both lines in each of the columns, the 1st segment with the 1st segment, the 2nd segment with the 2nd segment, and the 3rd segment with the 3rd segment. And you need to count the repeats.
There are the following repeats:
Col. 0 = 1 repeat (3rd segment)
Col. -1 = 1 repeat (3rd segment)
Col. -2 = 3 repeats (all 3 segments repeated)
Col. -3 = 0 repeats
Col. -4 = 3 repeats (all 3 segments repeated)
Col. -5 = 1 repeat (3rd segment)
Col. -6 = 0 repeats
Col. -7 = 0 repeats
Col. -8 =1 repeat (3rd segment)
Col. -9 = 3 repeats (all 3 segments repeated)
Col. -10 = 1 repeat (3rd segment repeated)
If you add up all repeats, the result will be 14. That's what is entered in the filter. If you back-test with this setting, the filter will pass the jackpot ticket for 01/04/08.

Thanks Jerzy, now it makes sense!
