If there is one thing in the world that we like most, it is that sweet feeling of anticipation for a chance at luck. Take sports betting for example. It used to be that you go over somewhere like a sports bar to watch an exciting game with your friends or simply watch the game in the comfort of your home on a Saturday night. You pick a side, cross your fingers and hope for your team or your player to win. Once your chosen team wins, nothing can stop your glee.   This is well and good, until you realize that this feeling can be doubled or even tripled if you place a bet against another person, a friend or an acquaintance perhaps. You can bet against those you do not know and stand to win more money.

But some combos intuitively look 'unrandom' to the naked eye eg 1,2,3,4,5,6. I've been doing some kicking around of ideas and come up with criteria. If I get time I'll whack them inside a big loop and test every 6/49 combo. As a teaser, 44,45,46,47,48,49 is rated considerably more random than 1,2,3,4,5,6 but less random than 1,2,3,4,5,46.  Has anyone else done any pondering along these lines? What criteria did you use and which combo or combos evaluated as the most random?

I've also been to the village of Wooburn Green, in Bucks - it's just outside High Wycombe (of wet weekend in Wycombe 'fame'). So some time ago when the lottery machines and balls were chosen at random by John Smith of Wooburn Green it stuck in my memory. Last week, the machines and ballsets were chosen again by John Smith of Wooburn Green. My theory is that the people who randomly pick machines and ballsets are in fact Camelot employees, and there are now so few of them they're having to go round a second time.

Calculate the deltas between each number. Sort the deltas into ascending order. Keep a count of how many times each such delta 'set' is found.  Fun bit of programming, I thought. Shouldn't take more than a few hours to execute, I thought. Latest extrapolation puts it at just over 8 days to run to completion, but as my 'database' expands that is bound to grow.  Does anyone know (or know how to calculate) what the 'mode' delta 'set' is? Is it as trivial as 1-1-1-1-1?

At the time my VB6 Make.exe was not working so I switched to C sharp which took 0.26 seconds to confirm the cover. Now the Make.exe is working and it confirms the cover in a blistering 0.06 seconds! Handy if you are making millions of calls to a similar routine which is part of an optimal covering design program.  Once again the much maligned VB6 leaves the newer upgrades for dead.

The rules clearly stated that the Cover must have unique Threes and maximized progressive coverage. When comparing results such as for 131 lines and others I have looked at the results for the GC 358 line Cover to find they were abysmally poor with my 365 line Unique Threes Cover. This led me to have a closer look and I now conclude it is not a progressive Cover at all.  A simple test you can do yourself is to compare 68 lines for Pool 49 Pick 6 as produced by CoverMaster which has no duplicate Threes and you will find the coverage is 11,716,391 or 83.78536% compared to the non-progressive GC Cover of 11,298,393 or 80.79621%.
