Around the world, serious lottery players are searching for lottery number patterns that will provide them an advantage. There is one such lottery strategy that is proven to provide them an advantage. It utilizes lottery number patterns that exist in most lotteries. They’re called Longshots.
If you don’t know what Longshots are, we will start with some history and also a definition. A couple of years back there was a lottery strategy that became rather popular that, for lack of a better name, we will call the Hot Number Strategy. Along with it came the average marketing hype that you would expect. The pitch went something like this:
Since more than 80% of all winning lottery numbers Hit in the last 10 drawings, create your play list from the winners in the last 10 drawings. This is going to increase your probability of winning the lottery.
In the beginning, it sounds plausible enough. However, let’s think about this. Implicit in the strategy is the opposite side of the coin. Any lottery numbers that haven’t Hit within the last 10 drawings are thought about a rather dubious pick. Hence, these lottery numbers were named Longshots. The name persists to this day and I even use it. Nevertheless, I don’t malign the usage of Longshots. The truth is, I applaud them. Including Longshots in a play list is definitely an absolute necessity for almost any viable lottery strategy.
For all of those lottery players who got caught up within the Hot Number Strategy hype, this was, undoubtedly, a really expensive lesson. A whole lot of cash was spent with little to show for it.
Excluding Longshots resulted in a Hot Number Strategy disaster. You see, including Longshots is crucial to any viable lottery strategy because, on the regular, 25% to 40% of the winning numbers are Longshots! You heard me right; 25% to 40%.
This has been true for every lottery in the US and Canada for over 2 decades. That’s when I started analyzing them. The percentage varies from lottery to lottery as the size of the lotteries change. For example, the percentage is higher for a 6/52 lottery than it’s for a 6/44 lottery. Nonetheless, you can rest assured that this lottery number pattern is as solid as a rock.
It really is simple for someone to verify this. Well, maybe without a fantastic lottery software program, not so simple. Nevertheless, in any event, this is the approach. List all of the lottery numbers which have Hit within the last 10 drawings for each lottery drawing. Any lottery number not within the list has to be a Longshot. Count the range of winning numbers in the next drawing which were Longshots. Do this for the entire lottery history. If you average the range of Longshots which were winners, you shall find the answer lies someplace between 25 and 40%.
How can you make use of this data? Assuming that the answer you got was 30%, then, on the common, 30% of the winning numbers within the next drawing would be Longshots. If you were playing a 6/48 lottery, it means that you should expect 1.8 winning numbers to be Longshots. (30% x 6 = 1.8) Bear in mind, this doesn’t happen every drawing but it really is unwaveringly persistent over time. As an example, in Lotto Texas, at least 1 of the winning numbers is a Longshot 89% of the time! In other words, you can count on it.
This shows why the Hot Number Strategy practitioners wasted so much money. On the average, their play lists were coming up 1.8 numbers short. This must happen to be (but still is) very frustrating for the players using this weak lottery strategy.
Several of you are, no doubt, asking how you can take benefit of Longshot when you play. Continuing with the example above, it is very simple. Let’s say you choose to pare down a 48 number lottery to a 37 number play list with the help of lottery analysis software. Not just a bad strategy since you have eliminated 9,946,728 wagers from play! Since you are expecting 30% of the winning lottery numbers to be Longshots, you ensure that 11 of those 37 lottery numbers in your play list are Longshots. (30%x37=11.1)
It truly is hard to imagine any lottery strategy that does not include Longshots. Serious lottery players everywhere use it. This is called playing the odds. The truth is, that’s what all successful gamblers do; play the odds.
