Strategy transparency

The overall result

Backtests appear here once enough official draws have been collected.

Each backtest replays the strategy over recent draws, letting it see only the draws before each one. Wheels are compared with the best of the same number of random lines.

Hot Numbers

Picks the numbers drawn most often recently.

1. Take the last 50 official draws.
2. Count how often each number was drawn.
3. Pick the most frequent numbers. Ties go to the number seen most recently.

Limits: Past frequency has no effect on the next draw. Over 50 draws, some numbers come up more often purely by chance.

{
  "window": 50
}

Cold Numbers

Picks the numbers drawn least often recently.

1. Take the last 50 official draws.
2. Count how often each number was drawn.
3. Pick the least frequent numbers. Ties go to the number seen longest ago.

Limits: A number that has been drawn rarely is no more likely to come up next.

{
  "window": 50
}

Overdue Numbers

Picks the numbers that have gone longest without being drawn.

1. Take every official draw we hold.
2. For each number, count the draws since it last came up.
3. Pick the numbers with the longest gaps.

Limits: No number is ever "due". Each draw is independent, so a long gap changes nothing.

{
  "window": 0
}

Frequency-Weighted Random

A random line where frequently drawn numbers get proportionally more chances.

1. Count each number over the last 200 draws, and add 1 so every number can be picked.
2. Draw numbers at random, with chances in proportion to those counts.
3. The random seed is fixed per draw, so the line can be reproduced.

Limits: Weighting by history adds no real edge. It produces lines that resemble past draws.

{
  "window": 200,
  "smoothing": 1,
  "exponent": 1
}

Odd/Even & Low/High Balance

Copies the most common mix of odd/even and low/high numbers.

1. Sort each of the last 100 draws into odd-low, odd-high, even-low and even-high counts.
2. Find the most common mix.
3. Fill each group with its most frequent numbers.

Limits: Common mixes are common because there are more combinations of them, not because they are more likely to win.

{
  "window": 100,
  "fill": "hot"
}

Sum Range

Chooses a line whose total sits in the 60th–80th percentile band of past draws.

1. Add up the numbers in each of the last 300 draws.
2. Find the band between the 60th and 80th percentile of those totals.
3. Generate 2,000 candidate lines and keep the strongest one inside the band.

Limits: Every individual line has the same chance. The band only describes where many combinations happen to sum.

{
  "window": 300,
  "lowPercentile": 60,
  "highPercentile": 80,
  "samples": 2000
}

Abbreviated Wheel

Spreads a pool of 10 numbers across several lines with a coverage rule.

1. Take the 10 most frequent numbers over the last 50 draws as the pool.
2. Build the fewest lines so that if 4 winning numbers are in the pool, one line holds at least 3 of them.
3. The first line is shown as the pick; every line is listed.

Limits: The coverage rule only applies if the winning numbers are in the pool. More lines cost more, and each line keeps exactly the same odds.

{
  "type": "abbreviated",
  "poolSize": 10,
  "poolFrom": "hot",
  "window": 50,
  "guaranteeMatch": 3,
  "guaranteeIf": 4,
  "maxTickets": 50
}

Decade Spread

Spreads picks across 1–9, 10–19 and so on, at most two per group.

1. Group the numbers by tens.
2. Take the most frequent numbers in each group over the last 100 draws.
3. Visit the groups in turn, never taking more than two from one group.

Limits: Spreading numbers out makes a line look balanced. It does not make it more likely to be drawn.

  "window": 100,
  "maxPerDecade": 2

Strategies we don't run

"Repeat patterns" (pairs and triples that recur together) is listed in our database but switched off until it has a published rule and backtest. Any new strategy appears on this page before its first pick.
