HELP FOR BETS WINDOW GENERAL INFORMATION The purpose of the Bet Window is to create a bet list using the numbers (dark) selected in the Prediction Window. This list can be generated using "Random Bet", "Optimised Bet" or "Wheeled Bet". Each model will create a list of bets and display it in the box "..Bets For Next Draw". They will also apply the bet list to the last 20 draws (in the Data Window) and show the results in the box "Bets Used On Last 20 Draws". The following methods could be used to display the bet lists :- 1. If you want a bet list set up using your own sizes. Select "Random Bet", set up the bet size and balancing, and run say 5 lists. This will create five bet lists according to your specifications, select the best, and partially display it in the box "Random Bets For Next Draw". The full listing can be examined using "Show Bet List". Use the various menu options to examine/save the listing. Close the window to return to the main menu where you can print the list and mark out your game cards. You can also enter the Result Window to try out your list with random 'next draw' data. 2. If you want a bet list with optimised coverage of bet combinations. Select "Optimised Bet", set up the bet width and minimum win size, and run it. This will create a highly optimised bet list from all possible bet combinations and partially display it in the box "Optimised Bets For Next Draw". The full listing can be examined using "Show Bet List". Use the various menu options to examine/save the listing. Close the window to return to the main menu where you can print the list and mark out your game cards. You can also enter the Result Window to try out your list with random 'next draw' data. This selection produces a very good listing but it can take a VERY long time to run. However, you can save the resulting combinations (if not aborted) for future use. If saved, then the next time you run "Optimised Bet" with the same values (prediction size, bet width and minimum win size), it will operate very fast. 3. If you want a bet list with full coverage of bet combinations. Select "Wheeled Bet", set up the bet width, and run it. This will create a bet list using all possible bet combinations and partially display it in the box "Wheeled Bets For Next Draw". The full listing can be examined using "Show Bet List". Use the various menu options to examine/save the listing. Close the window to return to the main menu where you can print the list and mark out your game cards. You can also enter the Result Window to try out your list with random 'next draw' data. This selection should only be used with a small set of prediction numbers which produces a bet list less than or equal to 400. A bet list greater than this will be shortened, resulting in partial coverage. MENU OPTIONS 1.1 Save/Save Bet Choose "Save Bet" if you want to save the bet list which is partially shown in ".... Bet For Next Draw". The box marked "Saved" is then updated to show the "Saved Bet" status. 2.1 Select/Random Bet... Choose "Random Bet..." if you want the bet list generated randomly. A window will be displayed in which you can set up the bet length and width (numbers per bet). If you have a favourite prediction number (dark group) then you can select "Common 00" and enter it: this number will then be included in every bet in the list. You can also select the level of balancing of each number in the bet list using "Balance" (1..10 can be entered where '1' means good balancing. Note that a perfect balance means every number is used equally in the completed list). "Range" can be used to adjust the distribution of bets to suit the game (1..10 can be entered where '1' means the range of distribution is narrow). Note that both the balancing and range of the bet list can be observed using "Show Range". When you have finished setting the various sizes, and you "run..." them, you will be given the choice of running 1...20 lists. If one list is run, then it will be displayed but not saved. More than one will generate the requested number of lists, find the best, then save and display it. The resulting bet list is (partially) displayed in the box "Random Bet For Next Draw" and then applied to the last 20 data entries. The highest wins are shown in the box "Bets Used On Last 20 Draws. 2.2 Select/Optimised Bet... Select "Optimised Bet..." if you want a good coverage of bets with a minimum bet list. A requester is displayed in which you enter the bet width (numbers per bet) then the minimum win size. For example, if you are using 20 numbers and you select a bet width of 6 and a minimum win size of 5, then you will be sure of winning at least a 5-number prize if you get 6 of the 20 numbers correct (to guarantee a 6-number prize would require an enormous number of bets). This is very powerful but can take a VERY long time, so on completion you should always save the combinations (a requester is displayed). The next time you use the same bet, it will be created instantly. The combinations are not saved if you abort, but the partially generated bet list will still be displayed. The resulting bet list is (partially) displayed in the box "Optimised Bet For Next Draw" and then applied to the last 20 data entries. The highest wins are shown in the box "Bets Used On Last 20 Draws. 2.3 Select/Wheeled Bet... Select "Wheeled Bet..." if you are using a small set of prediction numbers and want full coverage of bets. You set up the bet width and a requester will show how many bets will be generated. The resulting bet list is (partially) displayed in the box "Wheeled Bet For Next Draw" and then applied to the last 20 data entries. The highest wins are shown in the box "Bets Used On Last 20 Draws. 3.1 Compare/Compare Saved & Displ Select "Compare Saved & Displ" if you want to compare the saved bet list with the currently displayed list. A window will be opened in which both sets of bet lists are applied to the last 20 data entries and their highest wins displayed for comparison. 3.2 Compare/Combine Saved & Displ Select "Combine Saved & Displ" if you want to combine the saved bet list with the currently displayed list. The resulting list is shown and the saved list remain unchanged. 4.1 Change/Clear Bet/ "Clear Displ" will clear the displayed bet list and "Clear Saved" will clear the saved list. 4.2 Change/Display Saved Select "Display Saved" if you want to display the saved bet list in the boxes. You can experiment with this list since the saved list is remains unchanged. 5.1 Check/Show Bet List... Select "Show Bet List..." if you want to view the bet list contained in "... Bet For Next Draw". This will be displayed in a separate window and can be viewed a page at a time using "UP" & "DN". 5.2 Check/Show Trial... Select "Show Trial..." if you want to try out the bet list with random 'next draw' data. A window will be opened in which you can use "Random" to generate the 'next draw' data. This will be used on the bet list and the winning bets displayed. You can also enter your own numbers for testing and, if you find a good set, add them to the bet list. 5.3 Check/Show Range... Select "Show Range..." if you want to examine the distribution range of the bet list. A window will open in which the bottom graph will display the actual distribution of the data list (light colour) and superimpose the bet list distribution (dark colour). The bet list distribution can be varied if "Random Bet" is used. The top graph shows balancing of all numbers in the bet list where a straight line is perfect balancing. This is also adjustable in "Random Bet". 5.4 Check/Show Balance... Select "Show Balance..." if you want to examine the balancing of any number or group of numbers in the bet list. A window will open in which each number is displayed with its' number of occurrences in the bet list beside it. You can enter any number or group of numbers and the listing will show how many times each number appeared in the bet list along with the selected number or group of numbers. 5.5 Check/Test Bet List... Select "Test Bet List..." if you want to check on your chances of winning a prize. A window will open in which you select a test width, (e.g. 6) and "Run Test" will show your chances of winning a prize if you have 6 (test width) numbers correct in your prediction group. For example, assume your bet list was made up from a prediction group of 20 numbers. If you want to know what prizes you can win if 6 of these numbers are picked in the next draw, then set "Test Width" to 6. Running this selection might show the following :- You have a 20% chance of winning a 6-number prize. Plus 50% chance of winning a 5-number prize (70% if no 6-number prize is won). Plus 90% chance of winning a 4-number prize (100% if no 5 or 6 number prizes are won). Plus 85% chance of winning a 3-number prize (100% if no 5 or 6 number prizes are won). In this example, you are guaranteed to win at least a 4-number prize if you have 6 numbers correct out of 20. 6.1 Display/Change Colour... Select "Change Colour..." if you want to change the colour scheme. A colour requester will be displayed in which you can adjust colours in the display. Note that changes apply to all windows. 6.2 Display/Print Screen... Select "Print Screen" if you want to print the displayed window to a graphics capable printer. A window will be displayed in which you can make various printer options before printing. 7.1 Help/ShowHelp... You're reading it now. 7.2 Help/Game Info...
