That's the correct and right attitude! It's a bit of fun and excitement, and that's all it should be.I look upon it as a bit of entertainment....and if one strikes a jackpot from a very modest bet, that's a bonus

U know how ppl like to buy the numbers of cars in an accident? To my thinking, how can the numbers of unfortunate accident cars be lucky? Last year I took note of the accident photos posted in /k, and monitored each number for 3 draws in MTK...none were drawn

Reversed searched the number

Have you been fantasizing of making lots of money lately??

Looks like everest was a little off the mark....

5652 was drawn in toto AND magnum as special prizes

Edit: korekted a typoo

5751 is there? I had checked yesterday's MTK and there were no permutations of it.
Maybe I missed seeing it...had I bought the number I'd have paid more attention

No worries lah!

Old ppl say that dream numbers must buy for 3 draws...maybe you'll have better luck today!

Maybe this app can help TS burn fewer candles

Yes u can.
i-system 10 lucky picks will cost u RM20.

Dunno if the app's predictions are ok or not

Giving it a try for fun

No "feeling" to buy any numbers this week, and for the near future...but I'll be observing

This documentary may be of interest http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/prediction-numbers.html

Curious to know why those numbers are lucky for that period.

Aiyaaa....I thought u had a dream/premonition/calculated a prediction/bought a new car...so from what u said, your lucky numbers are deemed to be lucky because if they strike, they're lucky

toto: can buy up to 8 draws in advance
if i recall correctly magnum and da ma cai's advance sales is up to 6 future draws.

I have noted at least 6 such "waves" in the past 2yrs 8 months. I'm using water as an analogy because I'm not a mathematician/statistician. One number lands in one house, and the splash it makes causes waves/ripples to "carry" the number to another house, and sometimes there is "splashback" into the first house.

The last instance of such a "wave" was during CNY period with 2617 (and it's permutations) in Toto and DMC...splashing back and forth. That wave is now over...and i'm back to my usual no-buy-observe-only mode...till the next wave comes along.

It's human nature to want to look for "patterns" in everything, and to neatly pigeonhole/classify observed phenomena. Maybe this "wave" thing is erroneous and totally without basis? I dunno lah

Here's the kicker question: as long as one is relying on statistics to predict future outcomes of numbers drawn, how would one resolve that practice with the adage of "chance has no memory"?

If chance has no memory indeed, then the probability of any set of numbers being drawn is exactly the same in every draw. That would effectively render futile all methods of probability-based predictions, would it not?

And if one were to go along with the premise that chance does indeed have a memory, I'd like to know the basis for such an assumption.

Mind you, I'm not trying to denigrate your candle-burning efforts at all. However I feel that certain hard questions must be answered first if one hopes to create a plausible and strong foundation for a method of forecasting numbers.

Hmmm. I can't really see any correlation/parallel between popularity of certain food stalls at the RnR with outcomes of number selection. Do enlighten me!

However from the rest of what you wrote, it's clear that you are hinging on the premise that chance does have a memory (re: "I look at the frequency of strike hits").

Thank you for your detailed explanation...I've read it 4 times and believe I now understand your approach.

Data of past occurrences in of itself will not predict anything. It is the INTERPRETATION of such data which allows your current process of prediction, or the development thereof.

IF I've read you properly (and do correct me if I misunderstood):

Your main goal seems to be to predict a pattern of when, where and if a set of numbers will recur. As I mentioned before, I've noticed such happenings in the past, so this interests me very much. I've also spoken at great length to 2 people who use tiny cellphones and cute little bluetooth thermal printers , and they both acknowledged that they had also noticed the same thing.

You have arranged your data so that it is easier for you to see when and where a recurrence of specific sets of numbers will occur; or conversely when and where specific sets of numbers did NOT occur.

I'm sorry but i have to once again ask a very hard question: as long as you're relying on statistics to form your basis of prediction, doesn't it mean that when all is said and done, you're still working on the premise that chance has a memory? It's just that you're interpreting/correlating/cross-referencing distinct sets of data in a different manner.

I'm not trying to give you a hard time nor am I trying to split hairs, and I would dearly love to have a system/formulae/methodology of rationalizing the "waves" of numbers that I've observed. Often I've pondered what triggers such waves, and till today I have no answer. If the trigger(s) of such events can ever be found, it would be very fun!

It will be most interesting to see how you'll interpret the data without relying at least in part to the premise that chance has a memory. As long as past data is utilized, it is already an unavoidable consequence. If chance has no memory, then all past data is essentially meaningless and irrelevant to methods of prediction and interpretation which do use past data.

And a pattern is in itself a system or may be used to formulate a system. All this may be just inconsequential semantics to some, but I think it's important to realize the distinctions.

I'd love to hear how u plan to interpret your data. As I am neither mathematician nor statistician, I'll try to help by playing devil's advocate! Maybe it can open up new lines of thought.

TS You're a nice guy, and u definitely have good intent. And I kept that in mind when I took the effort to type so much over the past several posts of mine. May you have success in deciding/predicting numbers!

See? I told you so! U owe me RM20!!
