Backtest Draw Results Top/Least Hitters Program
Run example: I choose to see what 15 out of 39 numbers ( top/least numbers) hit in the very next draw; what were the skips of the numbers that hit, and which of them hit more than once in the past 10 draws.
Run choices (I chose mine below for the California Fantasy 5 --5/39--, but anything can be looked at; 5 out of 10, or 10 out of 40 draws, etc)
First, select your lotto datafile (not a file with ALL combinations), formatted as this:
3 20 24 33 38
8 20 25 32 39
6 10 11 15 34
7 15 32 33 35......
Threshold of top hitters: I enter 15 ( I want to see the top/least 15 numbers)
Range of draws back: I enter 39 (I want to see which 15 numbers were top/least in past 39 draws)
How many draws back to test and plot: I enter 1000 (how many results you want plotted)
How many draws back for numbers with hits >=2: I enter 10 (I want to see which of these 15 top or least numbers have hit more than/or at least 2 times in the past 10 draws)
Result: reports are plotted in text file format; open with Notepad; uncheck 'Wordwrap' in Notepad's 'Format' menu option.
