Having a more than passing interest in lottario I have
across the last year and a half written and polished what
I think is one heck of a fine trend analyzer for lotto games.
It is not designed to "pick the winner" but more as a tool that
helps the human make a sound decision as to what numbers may
come up in the next game.
I find it lets me hit hit 3 number winners (pay $1 win $5)
with good regularity. 4 numbers come along every so often.
Just to make a point (in advance) because I am a bit tired
of the same trite jokers remarks over and over again.
The software does not:
generate lucky numbers
use astrology
just generate random numbers
predict based on the phase of the moon
The software does:
give decent trend analysis data
do pattern (scatter) plots
will make a suggestion based on an algorithm i designed.
the alorithm is available to the user, at least
on a conceptual level.
generates history reports in several formats
has easy data entry.
Its written in BASICA under MS-DOS, and yes I do like line numbers.
now for the big question.
I'd like to garner a few sheckles of this thing.
Im looking for suggestions, experiences, pitfalls etc.
Should I:
issue it as shareware ?
Offer it to a software house ?
Sell it on my own (dupilcate at home et al) ?
do something completely different ?
please E-mail your input rather than clog the net,
to be real honest i generally dont read the groups i'm
posting this to .
if i get enough responses, and anyone else is interested in the results
I can either e-mail the compiled findings or post to the net.
