Unfair Advantage v 2.3U User's Manual SHAREWARE VERSION Unfair Advantage is copyrighted 1993 by MeadoWare. Modification of the distributed shareware package is strictly prohibited. No charge will be made for the shareware version of Unfair Advantage with the exception of a nominal copying fee (not to exceed $5) for shareware distributors. No person, persons or entity may accept registration fees for Unfair Advantage except MeadoWare. There are no warrantees or guarantees expressed or implied about this software. MeadoWare recognizes that the lottery is a random event and that no means of determining future numbers yet exists. Unfair Advantage is provided as an educational tool only. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: PC or compatible computer VGA monitor* 650k RAM Hard Drive strongly suggested** *Although I strongly considered providing support for EGA monitors Unfair Advantage provides so much information on the screen at one time it simply would not fit on the EGA screen. Therefore, it was deemed inappropriate to diminish the information for that kind of hardware support. Apologies. **A hard drive is strongly suggested because all graphs are derived from disk based data. The hard drive makes the program run much faster and permits you to disregard the number of lotteries you track. Unfair Advantage WILL run from floppy (if you must run it from floppy a 3 1/2" high density one is fastest and preferred). Unfair Advantage was developed on an 8 mhz machine. Although I normally run at 33 mhz the 8 mhz development allows me to keep the program fast enough for the slower machines. So you don't have to have to have a monster machine to enjoy the software's abilities. CAPABILITIES: Unfair Advantage can: hold and keep statistics on 38 lotteries at once be configured for any lottery of 5-8 balls drawn out of 30-60 balls can store in excess of 280 draws from which to compile its stats will archive old draws rather than erasing them can help users find their own way around can explain itself and how it does what it does can thoroughly educate you on your lottery numbers can actually give pre-indicators of upcoming numbers! and more! REGISTRATION: Registration is simple and will allow you greater flexibility in choosing your numbers. When you register you will receive the full-blown version of the program and documentation. You will be entered in our database to be eligible for greatly reduced prices on future versions of Unfair Advantage. You will also receive a database of past drawn numbers for the state of your choice. Here's how to register: 1. Print out the document called REGISTER.DOC that should have been included with this package. 2. Fill out the registration form. If the REGISTER.DOC file was not included then send us your name, address, telephone #, state for which you would like a pre-built database, and any comments or suggestions you may have about Unfair Advantage. We also like to hear where you first picked up the program so we can thank our most loyal shareware distributors. 3. Send the registration form along with $25 plus $2.95 S&H ($27.95 total) to: Norman Meadows Unfair Advantage P.O. Box 17934 Colorado Springs, CO 80935 We will make every effort to provide you with a speedy delivery of your copy and materials. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ PHILOSOPHY: I've been studying the lottery trends intensely for quite some time. It finally got to the point where I knew so much about the current trends of the numbers (and they changed twice a week) that I couldn't keep them in my head. A pencil and paper just wouldn't do it either because the numbers soon became graphs and the papers ended up all over the place and there was no real record. I could spend 4 hours a day looking at the numbers and still ended up picking them wrong. But I noticed two constants about the numbers being drawn: First: The numbers rolling out of the lotto machine every Wednesday and Saturday were no surprise. Why? What was my intuition seeing that my conscious brain couldn't see? Second: The numbers were being called in groups. For a while a number would be popular, then *poof* it isn't heard from for a month or more, then just as quickly it'd come back again as strong as ever. A few other things I noticed, though they can't be considered constants: 1. There is no guarantee of predicting even one number. 2. Any number can show up at any time, but the chances of a number can be predicted - with enough information and practice. 3. Numbers on paper turn to mush in the brain once you've looked at enough of them for too long. 4. There is not a lottery program out there that I've seen that doesn't just feed more numbers to the user and add to the confusion. They'll give you numbers to play, but don't tell you why or how they came about it. For these reasons Unfair Advantage was born. I've tried to create the visual equivalent of the sets of numbers so you can actually see what the numbers are doing and have done in the past. Instead of spending hours graphing the information, you can spend the hours evaluating them. U.A. won't pretend to know which numbers to play, but it will likely show you everything you ever wanted to know (and more) about the lotto numbers. Perhaps the best thing about Unfair Advantage is that it makes playing the lotto fun again and gives a person REAL hope. It becomes a contest instead of a game of chance. I know you'll find it educational and I hope you find it stimulating. Above all else, I hope your greed is satisfied now that you have an Unfair Advantage over everyone else. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ ABOUT UNFAIR ADVANTAGE: It's not the intention of this program to tell you which numbers to play, rather it's to educate you on the subtle trends (not patterns - there are no patterns) involved in the physical gaming of lotto. We can't promise you will win anything but we can promise that you will make a better informed decision about the individual numbers you play. Unlike most other lottery programs, commercial and shareware alike, Unfair Advantage takes advantage of your computer hardware - namely your monitor - to SHOW you its information instead of making you pick through sets of numbers and having to decipher all the information in your mind's eye. As you navigate your way through the program evaluating your numbers and forming decisions take notice of the similarity between the trends of numbers. Also notice how, with relation to time, numbers tend to appear in groups. A number might be called six or seven times in a month and then only once in the next four months and then, suddenly, start appearing again. The most likely cause is that the Lottery Commission is rotating the sets of balls out and the set with the tendency to pop out your number has come up again. Unfair Advantage takes advantage of situations like these by showing you it is happening. This program is NOT a random number generator - it doesn't even use the computer's random option. It wouldn't work anyway for someone who wants an analysis of the lottery draws. Randomizing numbers is good only for making up the minds of those folks who don't have the time to make it up for themselves. Once you've decided on which sets to use, you've got to move with the trends, or anticipate and allow the trend to catch up to you. With Unfair Advantage you have the advantage of having a better understanding of when that trend will be. Unfair Advantage provides only objective information. A special thanks goes out to Ken Decker and Roger Sanders for tirelessly providing inputs for the program's abilities, friendliness, beauty and the nightly calls to stomp out as many bugs as they could detect. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ FINDING YOUR WAY AROUND: HELP WITH UNFAIR ADVANTAGE: The most important thing to remember while you are using this program is that the Queries box will ALWAYS let you know what it expects you to type. If you have HELP turned on (done in the Status box) the INFO box will always provide an explanation of each situation. You can move around U.A. by using the cursor keys. When you use them you will move from mode to mode. There are four modes: Keys (The box labeled KEYS) Grid (The large unlabeled box) Info (The box labeled INFO) Status (The box labeled STATUS) You can always tell which mode you are in by the position of the red highlight box. The other highlighter, the yellow one, appears around the inside of the Info box letting you know that the scroll-up (key 8) and scroll-down (key 2) are available for use. These options are always available when you are in Info Mode but are not applicable when either the top or bottom of the help information is showing. KEYS MODE: This is where the program starts. You can choose an item from the Keys box menu and follow the prompts in the Queries box from there or you can change modes by hitting one of the four cursor keys (Up, Down, Left or Right arrows). Keys mode is used mostly for file maintenance. GRID MODE: You'll get the information about the lotto numbers from here. The grid mode puts into pictures the correlation between what the numbers called are and when they were called. Follow the prompts in the Queries and Keys boxes to get U.A. to display the information you need in the Grid box. The cursor keys are also available for use from the Grid box as long as U.A. isn't expecting some other information from you in the Queries box at the time. INFO MODE: In the Info box you'll find all the information you need to use Unfair Advantage. You have a choice of information files to view or you can read the information that is constantly updated as you move around the program. You can disable the on-line help by using the Status box. This will not disable the custom requested information described in the Keys box when you're in Info mode. As stated earlier, you can scroll the Info box information from any mode as long as the Info box is highlighted in yellow. STATUS MODE: The Status mode is where you custom design your settings for the program. Once you set the program up the way you want it you can make it stay that way if you choose or you can restore the default settings. From this mode you can also put yourself back in time by Pretending it is a different date. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ MODE SPECIFICS: KEYS MODE: The KEYS box contains functions you can use to manipulate your file of lottery numbers you are playing and those actually drawn. You can cursor to another mode from here or choose an item from the KEYS box menu. E - ENTER NEW DRAWS C - CHANGE DRAWN NUMBERS D - DELETE DRAWN NUMBERS Y - YOUR NUMBERS H - HOW'D YOUR NUMBERS DO L - LOAD EXISTING LOTTO FILE M - MAKE NEW LOTTO FILE R - REMOVE OLD LOTTO FILE Q - QUIT 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE GRID MODE: In this mode you have the ability to view the correlation between the numbers drawn and the timeframe in which they are drawn. It is in this mode you request the graphs and stats that make Unfair Advantage a unique educational tool. The following functions are available from the Grid Mode menu: A - HIT SET ANALYSIS C - CHANCES ARE... F - FULL EVALUATION W - WINNINGEST NUMBERS X - 2X EVALUATION METHOD Y - 3X EVALUATION METHOD Q - QUIT 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE INFO MODE: This is the mode from which you can query Unfair Advantage about the way it does the things it does and why. Watch this box as you use the program for more specific information about methods and interpretations of what you're seeing on the computer screen. You can speed things up a bit by disabling help in the Status box (H). The following functions are available from the Info Mode menu: C - MORE ABOUT CHANCES ARE M - MORE ABOUT FULL EVALUATION S - MORE ABOUT HIT SET ANALYSIS X - MORE ABOUT 2 AND 3X METHODS H - HELP WITH THIS PROGRAM I - INFORMATION ABOUT U.A. P - THE UNFAIR PHILOSOPHY Q - QUIT 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE STATUS MODE: From this mode you can change the program's default settings or the settings that apply only to this session. You can also use this mode to pretend you are running the program from a previous date without the influence of the lotto draws after that point. You can also restore the program from Pretend mode to Real time mode. Also included are a few other luxuries. The following items are available on the Status Mode menu: H - TURN HELP ON/OFF S - TURN SOUND ON/OFF K - KEEP THESE SETTINGS P - PRETEND MODE R - RESTORE TRUE DATE D - DELETE FIRST TEN @ - FORCE DATA FILE REBUILD Q - QUIT 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ FUNCTION SPECIFICS: KEYS MODE FUNCTIONS: δ = Will force a data file rebuild. Σ = Available only in the registered version E - ENTER NEW DRAWS As soon as the numbers are known for each draw you should enter them here. The date is entered in a MM/DD/YY format. You will be prompted to verify that the numbers you have entered are correct before saving them. (δ) C - CHANGE DRAWN NUMBERS If you find you have entered erroneous data in your lotto draw database you may correct that with this function. Upon successful execution of this function a data file rebuild will be forced. (δ) D - DELETE DRAWN NUMBERS If you need to delete numbers from the database for any reason you may do it with this function. Caution should be exercised because, unlike the Status Mode's 'D'elete first ten function, this function does NOT save the draws you delete into an archive file. Upon successful execution of this function a data file rebuild will be forced. (Σ) Y - YOUR NUMBERS This option allows you to enter up to 20 of your own lotto picks. From this function you will have the option to add, change, delete or view your sets of numbers. This option is only available with the registered version of Unfair Advantage. (Σ) H - HOW'D YOUR NUMBERS DO This option will automatically check how your own lotto picks did on the last drawing in the database. This function is particularly useful when used in concert with the Status Mode's "P"retend function to check how your present numbers would have done on past draws. This option is only available with the registered version of Unfair Advantage. L - LOAD EXISTING LOTTO FILE This option is for those who are tracking more than one lottery. Once chosen, a list of available lottery files will be displayed. Choose which one you want and it will load. M - MAKE NEW LOTTO FILE This option will allow you to create new lotto files (for other states, countries, etc). R - REMOVE OLD LOTTO FILE This option is for those lottery files you might have tracked in the past but no longer wish to. This option will COMPLETELY DELETE all information about the old lottery file. You must be using a different lottery file than the one you are deleting at the time you try to delete it. Q - QUIT This option is available in every mode. This option quits Unfair Advantage and takes you to DOS. 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP These options are available in every mode. When there is more information in the Info Box than can be viewed at one time you may use the number pad on your keyboard to scroll the information up or down. Turn on the NUM LOCK and use these keys for this. CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE This option is available in every mode. You may use your cursor keys to change from mode to mode in the program. The flashing red box will always tell you which mode you are in. GRID MODE FUNCTIONS: Σ = Available only in the registered version A - HIT SET ANALYSIS This function displays one box for each of the lotto numbers. The highlighted box is the target number you have chosen. The bottom number inside the box is the number of times it has been called. Every box is labeled by its own number and how many times it has been called with your number. C - CHANCES ARE... This function displays the individual statistics for each number as well as a hit graph. When first starting the function you will have a choice of whether to dump all the information for all the numbers to a disk file (which you can pull up and manipulate or print with any wordprocesser) or to continue with the information and graph on a single number. F - FULL EVALUATION The full evaluation will show you four graphs and three sets of information boxes. The four graphs are: THE HIT GRAPH - Shows you when the number has been called. The left side of the graph starts at the first draw in the database. The graph line goes to the top for each hit and to the bottom for each miss. THE PERCENTAGE OF HITS GRAPH - Unfair Advantage maintains an historical data file on each number that keeps track of which percentage of all the draws up to that date have included your target number. Normally a number will try to maintain a steady average once it has established an average. That is why near the beginning of the graph (the left side) the graph is not very steady. You can see how it levels out as more draws were made. This is the most sensitive of the three statistical graphs. It takes fewer draws of a single number to change this graph than it does the next two. THE GROUP PERCENTAGE GRAPH - Like all the statistical graphs, this is also an historical graph. It is a view back in time with each point on the graph being computed as if none of the latter draws had been made yet. The best and most logical way to find out if a number is grouping is to find out if it has been exceeding its average hits for a given period of time. If it has exceeded for the last 0% of the time then it's not grouping at all, the last 1% would be an insignificant number of calls that slightly exceeds that number's average calls. When a number begins to climb to 3, 4, 5 and on up to 9% then it becomes a significant grouping. Not all numbers get all the way to a grouping of 9% (that would mean it has been consistently called above its average times for the last 9% of lotto draws). This is what the 0-9% graph is showing you. Just how high does it get, how tight and for how long that number groups before it starts dying out. THE AVERAGE MISS GRAPH - Another historical graph. This is the least sensitive of the three statistical graphs. This one gives you the average number of misses for a number between hits. As you can see with most (but not all) numbers, it tries to maintain a constant average. Normally, a dip in this graph is a significant indication. With these graphs you will be given a choice of modes to enter to aid in the ease of their evaluation. These modes are: ZOOM MODE: In zoom mode you are able to expand any of the three statistical graphs for easier viewing of the finer variations of the stats. When you zoom in on a graph you will always have the opportunity later to Restore the un-zoomed view. Whether you have zoomed in on a graph or not you will be given the opportunity to enter Sweep mode. SWEEP MODE: Sweep mode will give you a graph cursor and two sets of informational boxes. The box near the upper right side of the screen will tell you which draw number your cursor is on, while the set of 5 boxes just above the left side of the Hit Graph will tell you which numbers were called with your number on that draw (if the number you are analyzing was drawn). You can use the left and right cursors to move the sweep cursor or you can hit the Enter key to exit this mode. READING TECHNIQUES: Pay special attention to the tendency of the graphs. You'll notice that on some numbers when a graph dips below its maintained average it will normally hit very soon. This is a pre-indicator and applies most strongly to the Grouper and Average Miss graphs. Also take note of the Percentage of Draws graph's tendency to indicate an impending hit by dipping below a maintained average. The average on this graph is normally much more varied than on the other two. The checksheet supplied with the Unfair Advantage disks (under the file name CHECKSHT.DOC) will help you to track your impressions of each number's graph. (Σ) W - WINNINGEST NUMBERS This is a very useful method of evaluating numbers. When you first choose it you will be prompted for how many draws back to consider. You can type in any number from 00-99. If you choose 00 you will receive a display for all the draws in your database. Once it has finished running you will be provided with the best pairs of numbers, best triplets and best quadruplets sets of numbers. In other words, if the numbers 1 and 35 have shown up together in the timeframe you specified, you would be shown these two numbers and how many times they were hit together. Likewise with the triplets and quadruplets. This feature is only available in the registered version of Unfair Advantage. XY- 2X AND 3X EVALUATION METHODS It has been suspected that if you take all the numbers that have ever hit twice in a row (2x) or three times in a row (3x) you'll have a very good set of numbers with which to play the lottery. This is the process behind the 2x and 3x methods. When U.A. does its calculations on all the num- bers in your database it then provides you with a box for each number. Inside each box is the how many times that number has been hit two or three times in a row. You will be prompted to enter how many of the top numbers to use. This is not asking how many numbers to target, rather how far down to decre- ment its choices. If that's not clear, here's an example. Unfair Advantage's 2X Choices NUMBER # OF TIMES DOUBLED 1 .......... 3 2 .......... 7 3 .......... 3 4 .......... 5 5 .......... 6 6 .......... 5 If you say you want the top 3 numbers you will be given the numbers 2, 5, 4 and 6. So the number you ask for is the best of the doublers, not how many doublers to use. The method is the same for the 3x method, except that you are given the numbers that have hit three times in a row instead of twice throughout the history of your database. THE TIME GRAPH: When you look at the time graph you are looking at a history of the numbers chosen by the 2x and 3x method. Every set of 3 or more of these numbers is shown to you on the graph. The graph is split into sets of 3, 4, 5 and so on (depending on the type of lotto you are playing). It is a solid-color bar with vertical line interruptions which represent each time the 2x or 3x numbers hit in that category. The extreme left side of the bar is the first draw in your database and the extreme right side is the last. Q - QUIT This option is available in every mode. This option quits Unfair Advantage and takes you to DOS. 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP These options are available in every mode. When there is more information in the Info Box than can be viewed at one time you may use the number pad on your keyboard to scroll the information up or down. Turn on the NUM LOCK and use these keys for this. CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE This option is available in every mode. You may use your cursor keys to change from mode to mode in the program. The flashing red box will always tell you which mode you are in. INFO MODE FUNCTIONS: C - MORE ABOUT CHANCES ARE Read this for clarification of the Chances Are function. M - MORE ABOUT FULL EVALUATION Read this for clarification of the Full Evaluation. S - MORE ABOUT HIT SET ANALYSIS Read this for clarification ofthe Hit Set analysis. X - MORE ABOUT 2 AND 3X METHODS Read this for clarification of the 2 and 3x methods. H - HELP WITH THIS PROGRAM Read this for clarification of the program modes and capabilities. I - INFORMATION ABOUT U.A. Read this to understand a bit more about the program and why it does things the way it does. P - THE UNFAIR PHILOSOPHY Why the program is written the way it is and what makes it like no other. Q - QUIT This option is available in every mode. This option quits Unfair Advantage and takes you to DOS. 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP These options are available in every mode. When there is more information in the Info Box than can be viewed at one time you may use the number pad on your keyboard to scroll the information up or down. Turn on the NUM LOCK and use these keys for this. CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE This option is available in every mode. You may use your cursor keys to change from mode to mode in the program. The flashing red box will always tell you which mode you are in. STATUS MODE FUNCTIONS: δ = Will force a data file rebuild. Σ = Available only in the registered version H - TURN HELP ON/OFF This is a toggle to turn the constant help on or off for the Info Box. If it is on all functions and processes will be explained as you advance through the program and its many capabilities. S - TURN SOUND ON/OFF This is a toggle to turn your sound off if you have it on and to turn it on if you have it off. You can tell what setting it is at by the indicator light next to "SOUND" in the Status Box. K - KEEP THESE SETTINGS When you depress this key your help setting, sound setting, and lotto file setting will all be saved. This allows you to return to the settings you left off with when you reenter the program. (Σ) P - PRETEND MODE This function allows you to back up a number of draws (your choice). You will effectively be able to use Unfair Advantage from the perspective that more recent draws are unknown from the date you choose. When you go into Pretend Mode the "PRETEND ON" indicator light will light in the Status Box. To exit pretend mode and get back to the present use the "RESTORE" function. Because of it's value and versatility, this function is only available in the registered version of Unfair Advantage. (Σ) R - RESTORE TRUE DATE This function will return you to real-time mode and out of "PRETEND" mode. (δ) D - DELETE FIRST TEN This function will allow you to delete the first 10 draws in your database. The maximum number of draws you can enter without Unfair Advantage doing this itself is about 280. After which time every time you enter a draw exceeding 280 the first 10 draws will be deleted automatically and you will be forced to rebuild the data file. This DELETE FIRST TEN option is put here so you can take care of the pruning of your database before U.A. makes you do it. Keep in mind that since the graphs and numbers are built on averages, the more numbers you have in your database the more defined the situation will have to be before you'll see it. Practice and study have indicated that a 150 draw database is the optimum size. ***IMPORTANT NOTE*** Unfair Advantage will never just delete your hard-earned lottery numbers. All "deleted" draws are simply transferred to the ".his" file on your disk. They are available in ascii format so you can still do with them whatever you want later. (δ) @ - FORCE DATA FILE REBUILD This function is a necessity. When Unfair Advantage tells you it must rebuild its data files you must let it. Without this very import function you cannot trust that the graphs or any other numbers you will be shown are correct. On the other hand, if you doubt the numbers you see are correct you may force the rebuild yourself.*** Q - QUIT This option is available in every mode. This option quits Unfair Advantage and takes you to DOS. 2/8 - SCROLL INFO BOX HELP DOWN/UP These options are available in every mode. When there is more information in the Info Box than can be viewed at one time you may use the number pad on your keyboard to scroll the information up or down. Turn on the NUM LOCK and use these keys for this. CURSOR KEYS - CHANGE MODE This option is available in every mode. You may use your cursor keys to change from mode to mode in the program. The flashing red box will always tell you which mode you are in. PRE-BUILT LOTTO FILES AVAILABLE: LOTTO NAME LOTTO NAME ---------------------- ----------------------- 1. ARIZONA LOTTERY 32.
