How to Identify Patterns

Lottery Strategies - How to identify patterns

Besides looking for the trends, you can also look for the patterns. Similar to trends, patterns vary by lottery game and can also vary over time for the same lottery game.

To look for patterns, you will need to identify the maximum lapse and the maximum consecutive draws drawn over a period of time.

The maximum lapse is the most frequent longest lapse after which the ball is drawn again while the maximum consecutive draws is the most frequent successive draws in which the same ball is drawn.

Patterns tend to vary more than trends and you should focus on the short-term horizon or the medium-term horizon when you are looking for the maximum lapse and maximum consecutive draws.

Once you have determined the maximum lapse and maximum consecutive draws, go back to the most recent draws and look for balls whose pattern matches either the maximum lapse or the maximum consecutive draws.

If the pattern matches the maximum lapse, the ball is likely to be drawn in the coming draws. If the pattern matches the maximum consecutive draws, the ball is unlikely to be drawn in the next draw.

By applying the same technique to the patterns in various analysis, you can further refine your pool of lottery balls to play.

With magayo Lotto software and magayo Pick software, it is not necessary for you to manually identify the patterns. The maximum lapse and the maximum consecutive draws are shown when you view the pattern for the available statistics.
