"WHAT IF" PLAY STRATEGIES
This section deals with "what if" scenarios and how
they effect the number of combinations that you have to
"worry" about or that come "into play".
All of these examples will produce a reduction in
the number of combinations to be played, but to get
this reduction, the player must use educated guessing
and must choose correctly.
Example # 1:
Supposed I decide to play only numbers that did "not"
come up in the last drawing. How many combinations do I
have to worry about ?
ANSWER: If you look at the list of combinations under
"charts" for 6 balls, and using the FLORIDA 6/49 LOTTERY
as an example you can reduce the number of combinations
from 13,983,816 to 6,096,454 a reduction of about 55%
Example # 2:
I believe that the lowest number drawn this week will
be a number that starts with 10 or above. How many
combinations do I have to worry about ?
ANSWER: Although there is no number provided in this
system, the chart of first numbers shows how rapidly the
number of combinations drops off as the first number
gets larger. Thus picking only first numbers from 10 and
up in the FLORIDA 6/49 LOTTERY reduces the number of
combinations from 13,983,816 to 3,838,380 or a reduction
of 72.6%
Example # 3:
Suppose I decide to play only combinations that are
"NOT" all even or all odds. How many combinations does
this exclude ?
ANSWER: The theoretical chart of evens/odds show that
very few combinations have 6 evens or 6 odds - the exact
figure for the FLORIDA 6/49 LOTTERY is 311,696 combinat-
ions or only 2.228%
