G.A.T. LOTTERY ANALYSIS AND NUMBER PREDICTION
The G.A.T. System
The G.A.T. lottery analysis system is the third software tool for lottery players by Anastasios Tampakis and continues in the mold of his Lotto Architect and Wheel Generator products where excellent innovative and powerful software coding is combined with complex mathematical algorithms to provide high probability outcomes for lottery players. This new G.A.T. software offers a completely new and unique approach to forecasting the numbers to play in a lottery.
Lottery players are always keen to make use of the most probable number sets in their ticket entries. Many methods for predicting these most probable numbers have been used over the years - selecting numbers that are either Hot Cold or Due, using numbers that have been developed under mathematical process such as regression analysis or even using artificial intelligence, and many players will also have developed their own ‘in house’ techniques and methods. All of these ‘systems’ have their place whilst offering varying probabilities of success.
As we all know the chances or odds of winning high payouts in the lottery can be described using numbers of telephone number dimensions. 49 ball lotteries are well in excess of 13 million to 1 and 45 ball lotteries are in excess of 8 million to 1. The draw history window we have of our lottery is merely a tiny sample of the entire data set of possible draws – thus with the above odds there can be no reversion to the norm in the lifetime of any player or indeed in the lifetime of any lottery - that is why numbers appear frequently - or infrequently with apparent indifference to what has drawn previously. Indeed when analyzing the drawn history of the lottery there is relatively little data to work on compared to the entire data set of the lottery. So is there a way we can make use of this small sample of data known as the draw history to derive some number sets that we might have confidence in using in our next ticket?
The G.A.T. system approaches lottery analysis from a different perspective to those systems referred to above. G.A.T. introduces a unique prediction process that has not been seen previously. Definitely new, and exciting and we believe rewarding. A new technique involving identification of the signature of the lottery to help drive the prediction process is the essence of the G.A.T. system. But first - what does G.A.T. stand for? Global Augmentative Table with ‘augmentative’ and ‘table’ being the operative words as we shall see below.
Description of the process briefly: initially a band of past draws is selected to calibrate the G.A.T. engine. Once calibrated an analysis process involves stepping through the selected draw history range and at each draw a prediction is made for the next draw to come. After the completion of this run through of the selected draw history a GAT table is produced where the results of the run are stored for subsequent presentation to the user. The engine then proceeds with a new run to produce the next GAT. The engine however is not static as it receives feedback from the preceding GAT so that it may trim and improve i.e. augment its prediction effort for the next scan. Thus every GAT produced holds some augmenting input from every previous GAT. But given that we are trying to predict against the supposedly random nature of the lottery just plain feedback into the next GAT run is not going to be sufficient to cause consistent, reliable or frequent good forecasting. More needs to be discovered about the lottery to aid in our prediction efforts, and the particular aspect of the lottery we need to find is what Anastasios describes as the ‘Signature’ of the lottery. Now Anastasios is not divulging detail about the signature, other than it is volatile and relatively short lived but fortunately it can be sustained over a few draws and perhaps out to 10 or more draws. Thus the prime GAT tables the user will look for after an analysis run (scan) are those where it is evident that the feedback process has synchronized with the Signature and so many hit successes are observed, or a rising trend in accurate prediction is seen to be happening. We may then have an expectation that this past predictive success will carry forward to the target draw and so use the predicted numbers from our GAT table in our lottery ticket.
You will be correct to observe that this is a new, novel and complex approach to analyzing the lottery to provide number prediction.
Probability of occurrence is a very important feature of which to be aware when dealing with predicted numbers. So coupled with any numbers suggested by a GAT table is a probability assessment of the predicted numbers matching the drawn numbers. For example one of the generated tables may suggest 4 of 15 numbers will appear with a probability of occurrence at 50%. The analysis that gave our predictions was made on the firm data of the draw history. The target draw to come is obviously not yet known (or part of the draw history) and so cannot be subject to our analysis. But through the G.A.T. analysis process as the draw history is stepped through the next target draw to come was also not known, but G.A.T. found that it could predict the numbers at 50% probability (in this example). We therefore consider the final predictive result for our target draw may be treated with some degree of confidence given the GAT predictive performance obtained across the sampled section of draw history data. But is a 50% chance of much use anyway? Is it no better than half right; half wrong? Looked at another way a 50% probability is in effect a chance that for every second draw of the lottery the predicted numbers will include numbers from the target draw. This frequency of occurrence will most likely be a significant improvement on that which most players have been used to. Also be aware that this is a statistically supported minimum only – there may well be several more numbers than the 4 of 15 occur thus leading to higher dividend prizes.
As you will see with G.A.T. the operating parameters can be adjusted for generating between a few hundred tables to an open ended run of millions of tables. Time of processing depends on the ‘power’ of your computer but even very powerful PC’s will take a few hours to process one million tables. In general the user will find that the more tables generated there is the likelihood of a better predictive result. This is simply an outcome of the fact that the more GAT tables explored the more likely there will be a GAT found with better prediction results. The user will strike a balance between numbers of GAT tables generated and time taken to process.
In using G.A.T. you will be developing sets of numbers to populate your ticket entry. The best way to make use of the G.A.T. suggested numbers is to wheel them, and the best wheel product is of course Anastasios’s companion software tool Wheel Generator where the numbers can be deployed across your ticket entries with guaranteed outcomes.
The G.A.T. lottery analysis system from Anastasios Tampakis is another must have piece of unique software for the serious lottery player, providing a systematic repeatable approach to playing the lottery.

License Conditions
Thank you for purchasing a license to use the G.A.T. lottery number prediction tool. Your license will have duration of 365 days - or some other value according to your subscription plan. Please appreciate that the development of G.A.T. has not been a trivial exercise. It has taken many years of development and, as I am sure you will understand, the program is one of complex mathematics involving statistical and probability theory, much logic and clever computer code – a considerable task in blending all these together. The licensing arrangements allow for the product to be made available at a minimal cost but still allow some reward to the author for the effort involved.
The user may also observe that each time the program is opened a verification process is invoked which involves interaction with an ‘always on’ online server thus enabling protection for both the user and the author for his product preventing unauthorized usage or sharing of the application. Should the user be unable to log on to the remote server when opening the application, G.A.T. will still operate normally but in Demonstration Mode where predictions are still available but there are limited output capabilities.
If GAT opens into Demo mode whilst having a valid license and an active Internet connection, it is required by the user to manually test if a ‘contact to server’ can be made by using the menu “Help -> Test server connection”. If connection is subsequently made via this method GAT will become active in Pro mode. If server contact cannot be made it will be due to circumstances external to GAT. If contact can be made and the user holds a valid license and the program continues to open in Demo mode please login to your dedicated licensed area at the website with your userID and authorization code and reset your account. If it is still not possible to open in Pro mode, please make contact with the author / administrator through the website/forum mentioned above or via e-mail, stating your UserID.
All updates occurring during the period of the license are free.
G.A.T Program Installation
Download the application setup and install it to your desired destination folder. Upon initial opening of the program, it operates at the default Demo mode. If you have a valid subscription, activate the program from the menu “Help -> Activate”. A panel will be displayed which will require the entry of a User ID, a Serial Number and an Authorization Code. These three items will have been forwarded to you via a separate email as part of your application process. The program will remain in Demo mode initially after the panel details have been entered. Close the program and re-open from the GAT icon which will now be displayed on your desktop. The program on re-open is now ready for use. After the expiry of the license, the program will automatically revert to Demo mode. Please consider a renewal before the expiry so to take advantage of time bonuses offered. Renewals of existing licenses are performed within the user’s account management at the website.
Note to users who are renewing their license into version 2.3a or subsequent versions.
The draw history and data folders of GAT in Version 2.3a are in a different location (and need to be) to that which will have pertained in releases prior to Ver 2.3a. It will therefore be necessary to copy your existing data folders into the new directory folders of Ver 2.3a. Thus locate your existing GAT data folder and copy it. Under Help in Ver 2.3a open “Data Folder” – this will display the directory/folders of the new installation. Paste your old draw history data (Draw Files folder) into this new location, including the files (if present) “sc.id” and “gat.ini”. Close the GAT application. On re-open all your existing lottery draw history files will be available for use with the new version. Then uninstall the older version and also remove the installation folder. Please keep in mind, you cannot run at the same time a version prior 2.3a and a version 2.3a and upwards.
G.A.T. Front Page
Upon G.A.T. application open we are ready
to go. But the first thing G.A.T. needs
is a lottery to work with. Either click on Lottery (top left hand corner) and
open Manage Lotteries or click on Start G.A.T. Analysis to open the panel where
the lotteries installed within the G.A.T. database are available for
selection. Select your desired lottery
and click next. Prior to the commencement of an analysis ensure your lottery is
up to date with the latest draw detail entered.
Observe the last draw entered detail at the head of this Front Page
Menu. Note that the Draw# displayed is
an internal data number and may not be the same as your Commission lottery draw
number.
Once latest draw history has been
confirmed/updated click on the G.A.T. Analysis Option tab to access the Options
tabs where the various parameters are to be set up for your analysis. Accept these Options parameters, select
‘Start G.A.T. Analysis’ and the program will commence its analysis and
prediction activities. The ‘Panorama’
page will open and the analysis can be seen to be proceeding. It is then a matter of waiting for the
analysis to be completed and for you then to commence GAT table selection for
your numbers.
If you have run G.A.T. previously i.e. your
various lottery draw histories have already been entered, with subsequent
openings of G.A.T. the last lottery draw used will automatically be loaded,
ready for use, other than perhaps the latest draw information may require input
to keep the draw history up to date.
Note that G.A.T. can be minimized whilst analysis
is proceeding allowing other activities on your PC to be pursued.
Draw History Management
With the initial opening of the program the
user will need to establish a history of draws within G.A.T. for the various
lotteries the user may wish to predict for.
A minimum of at least 50 draws (see here
for precise draw history size that G.A.T. will require to operate successfully)
should be held to allow the various algorithms room to move and do their thing.
Create a New Lottery File
Open the Lottery Games Manager panel and
select –
Create a new user-defined lottery game.
This will take you to ‘Create a New
Lottery’ wizard where each step should be followed.
If your lottery is drawn weekly (or
multiple times per week) and you wish to include the date of draw in your
history file you must select at the Draws per day panel and within the pull
down the first item of 1 draw per day/week. This enables the date in the draw
import wizard. See pic.
If your lottery is drawn multiple times per
day select at this same pull down the appropriate number of draws per day. Once
Date detail has been entered click Next.
The Next panel displayed is as per this picture
A right mouse click in the vacant right
hand draw history panel (where the sub menu is displayed in the above picture)
will then invoke the draws import wizard.
The import wizard allows you to browse your
folders for the appropriate draw history file.
Lottery Commissions usually have available
the entire draw history for their lotteries and these can be down loaded from
their web sites. Prior to importing your draw history into G.A.T. it is
recommended that the history file be examined in a text editor e.g. Notepad or
similar.
The data in the file should be found to be
‘stable’. By this it is meant that any data should be rejected from the draw
history if the Commission has changed the number of balls drawn i.e. 5 to 6 or
changed the number of bonus balls drawn, or has changed the highest number e.g.
say from 45 to 49 balls. The lottery
change events mentioned may have occurred 10’s or 100’s of draws earlier and as
those early draws are not representative of the current draw type they should
be discarded. Thus only the latest stable data should be included in the draw
history file. The Import wizard is very
tolerant of separators between the numbers drawn and dates or draw index
numbers e.g. comma’s tab, dash – etc and will accept almost anything used. The
wizard will also disregard invalid lines such a column headers, however should
any importing problems occur attempt to structure your import file so that it
is as ‘standard’ as possible -
For example
No leading or trailing text other than
date information
Any separator is acceptable
Drawn numbers may be in any order
Numbers may or may not have a leading 0
i.e. 07 or 7
01,37,09,14,15,27,xx4
10,05,07,1,18,27,28
01,05,13,14,16,22,34
01,06,10,17,31,34,37
04,05,18,19,33,34,38
4,06,09,10,13,28,39
05,15,16,17,28,31,38
06,16,17,19,27,33,39
07,09,10,16,19,37,38
7,09,15,17,22,34,39
07,13,14,15,19,31,33
13 18;22:27,31/38,39
10,05,07,1,18,27,28
01,05,13,14,16,22,34
01,06,10,17,31,34,37
04,05,18,19,33,34,38
4,06,09,10,13,28,39
05,15,16,17,28,31,38
06,16,17,19,27,33,39
07,09,10,16,19,37,38
7,09,15,17,22,34,39
07,13,14,15,19,31,33
13 18;22:27,31/38,39
Thus if the text file containing the number
set can be presented as cleanly as possible, importing issues should not be
experienced.
Once the data is regarded OK save the file
into an appropriate folder and then seek this file from within the Import Draw
History wizard and Import the data.
When the file has been located and opened
by the wizard the entire data of the file will be displayed. If you are
satisfied with the data click the Import button and you will be advised that
the data has been imported satisfactorily. The data must then be saved via the
Save command button.
When initially establishing your draw
histories within G.A.T. take the opportunity to name your lottery as you prefer,
and be aware that after the lottery has been created no details may be changed
or edited, i.e. the various parameters of your lottery such 6 main balls and 1
bonus ball cannot be varied. If any of these parameters are incorrect or the
Commission changes the characteristics of the lottery a new lottery/draw
history will need to be established in G.A.T..
G.A.T. DATA Requirements
Draw structure and Parameter settings Description
Before we set the various option parameters
under which the analysis will run we need to understand the structure of the
analytical process
Assume we have a history of draws:
Dr# 01 :
Dr# 02 :
Dr# 03 :
Dr# 04 : -----------| Draw # 04 is our starting point
Dr# 05 : -----------| (C)
Dr# 06 : -----------|
Dr# 07 : ------- |
Dr# 08 : ------ | (B)
Dr# 09 : ------ -|
Dr# 10 : ----|
Dr# 11 : ----|
Dr# 12 : ----| (A)
Dr# 13 : ----|
Dr# 14 :--- is to be predicted by the
engine
We are to run the engine to predict for
draw #14, which of course is not yet in the history - it hasn't been drawn yet.
We shall start with Bracket Group B
The group of draws under (B) = 3 in this
example, provide the data used within the prediction process. From this (B)
group initial attempts to lock into a local signature are attempted and from
this identification the engine progresses through the draw data endeavoring to
fine tune the signature in readiness for predictions.
At the G.A.T. Options screen the parameter to
adjust for the draws in Group B is ‘Total Statistical Data to be used for
Analysis’.
The number of draws in group (C) is an
internal setting and is determined by the user setting of the value used for
(B); it is shown here as an aid to understand the process. The draws in C
provide for further initialization of the engine so it may properly lock into
any found signature before committing the statistics to the GAT tables
eventually derived from the draws tested within Group (A).
The group of draws under (A) = 4 in this
example, are known as the tested draws. This means the engine will derive
statistical data (occurrence and probability) on hits produced for these known
draw entries and so enter it (augment) in the GAT tables. At the G.A.T. options screen set a value for
Group A under ‘Total real draws to be tested for statistical hits evaluation’
Brief Rundown on Process
Referring to the draw history table above -
G.A.T. starts from the draw (draw # to be
predicted) - (A) - (B) - (C), or 14 - 4 - 3 - 3 = Draw #4 (the starting draw
for the engine). G.A.T. uses the draws in the (C) range and internally predicts
draw #7, then moves to predict draw #8 etc until the last draw #9 in range (B)
is reached. During each iteration a signature is sought plus feedback taken
from the previous run. The engine is thus primed with initial reference
information to allow it to begin its scans of the selected range of the draw
history file. This is the initialization
process.
Now the engine starts to generate
statistics for display to the user. Using the current state of the signature
and the range (B) draws #7- #9, it predicts for draw#10 and stores the
information to a GAT table. The prediction is then compared to the actual draw
data with the results of the comparison also stored in the GAT table. Finally feedback
information is supplied to the engine including evidence of the lottery. Then
the range (B) moves to draw #8 - #10 (since #10 is now part of the known
history to the engine) and the system attempts to predict draw#11. Again, using
the (B) range (#8 - #10), we predict draw#11, produce the hits and update the signature.
This goes on until the range (B) has moved to Draw #11 - #13. Now we are to
predict for draw#14, but of course we cannot now compute the hits as this draw
at this stage is unknown. Thus the prediction for draw #14 resides across all
GAT tables so it is therefore necessary to explore all of these tables for the
best prediction. Fortunately a results wizard is used in this task as it would
be virtually impossible to analyze by hand 1m or so GAT tables.
How many draws required in Draw History?
For a new lottery proposed by your lottery
commission how many draws must pass before we can use G.A.T. successfully? In general terms there should be enough draws
to allow a visual display of the predictive performance of a selected GAT table
and this will be of the order of 50 draws or more. For an exact assessment of
the draws required see here.
Setting Option Parameters – Engine Speedup/Other
Set various parameters under the two
options tabs to enable a satisfactory run of the G.A.T. engine. Note that all
settings entered into the Options panels and including any GAT ID’s entered in
the ‘GATs to Retain’ panel are auto saved and will auto reload upon next open
of the program.
Option Tab - Engine
Lotteries usually have two components of
drawn balls to make up the actual draw i.e. the main balls and the bonus
ball(s) or power ball. Within G.A.T.
these data can be displayed, and subsequently analyzed, either separately or
combined. Select under Options Tab No 1
which field or fields it is desired to analyze - Just the main balls of the
lottery can be selected or the entire number set of the draw where the bonus/supplementary
numbers are also included in the analysis.
Bonus balls cannot be analyzed separately.
With Powerball type lotteries the analysis
can be carried out on the main balls only or on the Power ball(s) only. A joint analysis of Main and Powerball is not
possible.
Note to this facility: During development
of G.A.T. it was observed that the inclusion of the bonus numbers generally
lead to an improvement (but un-quantified at this stage) in prediction outcomes,
however the user will determine their preferred approach as to whether their
analysis includes or disregards the bonus ball numbers.
Total Draws to be tested
At the Engine Options panel the parameter
to adjust for this Option is ‘Total Real Draws to be tested for statistical
hits evaluation’.
Note to this Option: The entire draw
history can be selected for evaluation, or a portion of it. Generally 100 draws will provide sufficient
statistical data for the G.A.T. tables but the user may select higher or lower
values. At least 100 past draws is preferred as this will allow the user to
observe prediction behaviour through hot cycles and cold cycles enabling better
G.A.T. table selection to be made.
Total Statistical Data to be used for Analysis
Make a selection between 5 and 500 draws,
however sufficient data is usually gathered in respect of the lottery signature
from between 5 and 50 draws.
Note to this Option: It is suggested that
high number values for Statistical Data be avoided as results may be diminished
due to averaging effects leading to poorer overall outcomes. However this does
not mean that higher values should not be used – the user might explore values
greater than 50 and assess if better wins overall can be had with their
particular lottery and this higher setting.
Run Factor – Start Point for Analysis
Under the topic ‘Modes of Operation’ you will see that G.A.T.
can be operated in a ‘one off’ analysis approach, i.e. do a one off run for
your lottery and predict some numbers, or G.A.T. can be operated in a manner
such that the predictive process that gave rise to good GAT tables in a
previous run can be harnessed again to provide the same good characteristics for
tables in subsequent runs. To benefit
from a previous run it is all about ensuring the new analysis always commences
from the same place in the draw history table after any new draw has been entered.
To do this we must ensure that the Run Factor has incremented by 1 for each new
draw entered from when that initial GAT was found that we now wish to use in a
future draw. Note this incrementing is performed automatically and no input is
required by the user. Also note that
should the user desire to perform some other scans as comparison runs to that
done with a Run Factor value it would be advisable to record the various
parameters used so that identical conditions to any other run can be re-established.
After a new draw has been added to the draw
history it will be observed that the Run Factor has incremented by one – see
pic – this ensures the start point for the scan remains the same as when the
initial GAT was generated.
For further discussion about using G.A.T
with a Run Factor please step through to here.
Standard Mode of Operation
As above after a new draw has been entered
the Run Factor will increment by 1. Should the user wish to perform a standard
run it is desirable that the scan commence at the default zero point within the
draw history without any adjustment to start points. It is therefore necessary
to reset the Run Factor to Zero. This is achieved by clicking the R button
(Reset button). Thus when the overhead is at 0 a normal/standard run may
proceed. See pic –
Modes to Compute - Augmentative, Absolute, Build-up
Select any of or all of the various modes to compute. In general all of these should be selected to
so allow comprehensive review of all generated data. If only specific data is required select that
mode.
Within the panorama panel three modes of presentation of the GAT data
are available – Augmentative, Absolute and Build-Up. Augmentative is the default display with
Absolute and Build-Up needing to be selected. These three modes are available
in the Panorama panel.
Augmentative Mode
The Augmentative mode is
where the hit results of a high order column are added into the results of the
column immediately below it; and so on for the next column and the one below
it. Thus the factors found at higher levels contribute (augment) the hit rates
found at lower levels.
Absolute Mode
The absolute mode is
where hit results are confined to their own levels. Thus the results within
each individual hit category is that as found by that GAT in its category –
there is no augmentation from other levels.
Absolute mode will be the preferred method of prediction if the numbers
are to be used in a matrix (Serotic) wheel construction. For example if we
require 15 numbers which are to be arranged in a matrix of three sets of five
numbers (where we will then request exactly two numbers from each set to make
up the six number entry) we should look for three GAT tables in Absolute Mode,
each requesting 5 numbers offering the highest two hits possible.
See here for more discussion on
Matrix Wheels. Note that Wheel Generator enables this sort of
wheel construction very simply.
Build-Up Mode
This mode is within the panorama panel only and enables finding GAT
tables that have predictions improving progressively from draw to draw. We find in this mode where the GAT table will
have given multiple sequential predictions at the respective hit category and
that it is apparent that the GAT is likely to have locked on successfully to
the lottery signature. We may then have a reasonable expectation that this GAT
will continue to predict accurately for the target draw.
The approach the user should take for best outcomes is to prefer
tables that have the longest success sequences and also where a smooth
improvement over the hits has occurred. Thus a hit sequence of 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4
is deemed to be not as good as 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 because there is a sudden jump
(2 to 4 at its last 2 hits) in the first example compared to the latter (3 to
4). This could mean volatile signature in the first example. This does not mean
the first table isn't a good GAT (it may well produce a good hit at the next
draw) but a very good signature should smoothly build up the hits with the ideal
being the prediction of correct numbers hopefully occurring over the next few
draws at the various hit category levels. The GATs in the Build-Up display
panel are positioned in the columns based on the last hit achievement, so if a
GAT managed 3 correct numbers at its last tested draw, it will show up at
column 3. Also, among those GATs that produce the same hit sequence, the GAT
that produces the greatest hits over all will be placed higher in the column.
Option Tab – Speedup/Other
The analytical process with potentially very large numbers of GAT
tables for display generates a huge data file that can be in excess of 1Gbyte
of data. Accessing this data can take time.
Thus when moving about in these panels there may be a delay of some
seconds, especially on slower computers, whilst the data is selected and presented by
the results display wizard. Give it time
to do its thing.
The features within this Options tab provide the opportunity to both
reduce the size of the stored data file and enhance the speed of
processing. Select as required.
Completion of Start Point Set Up
From a prior analysis we found one (or several) GAT tables that we
consider will maintain their predictive capabilities for some more draws to
come. We wish to ‘reuse’ these GATs for our next target draw to take advantage
of their predictive success. To do this we need to enter the ID of these GATs
into the ‘GATs to Retain’ panel. This can be done manually or it can be done
via sub menu command during a scan.
Note that the GAT ID’s can be entered in any order into this
panel. Upon ‘Acceptance’ of the Options
the ID’s are automatically sequenced.
During an analysis run these GATs are retained for viewing no matter
what results they eventually produce within the various hit categories.
Minimum/Maximum Requested Numbers
Enter (for example) 0/15 in the field
pockets. This means when examining data
in the Panorama panels up to 15 numbers can be used to generate GATs within the
various Hit Categories. Enter (say) 5/18
and the panorama panels will allow numbers between 5 and 18 to display GATs in
the various hit categories. 0/0 Is open
range. Note that when examining the predicted numbers within an individual GAT
the entire number set of the lottery is still available for perusal.
Hit Category Range to Compute
Enter (for example) 2/5 in the field
pockets. This means that the Panorama display will display only the hit
categories of 2 through to 5. 0/0 is
open range.
Maximum GATs to show per column
The hit category columns can be set to
display virtually all (up to 999) of the GATs found within a hit category or
just a few. This feature offers a speed
up to the analysis process when just a few GATs are selected and as the column
display continues to display the best GATs
at the top of the column there is no loss of information to the user as
to whether the 100th GAT should be observed. However the user may
select a value according to preference but a setting of 9 to 19 will be
sufficient to observe the most desirable GAT tables.
Maximum GATs to scan
Generally the highest value will be
selected so as to allow an open ended analysis run. However if GAT is being used in Run Factor
mode and the highest value GAT ID in the ‘GATs to retain’ might be say
1,500,000 and there is no desire to explore for tables higher in value than
this then set a value in this field pocket to either a default value shown in
the field box or over write with a user specific value i.e. in the case above a
value such as 1,500,001 would allow the G.A.T. engine to cover the highest
value in GAT ID in the retain panel.
Compare Numbers
Enter into this field box a specific number
set with any preferred spacer i.e. space, comma, semi colon. Any number set may
be entered and in size - the numbers could be the actual numbers from the
target draw and then performing an analysis run but without yet storing the
numbers of the actual draw in the history data base. Why do this? Knowing the result and then
doing a run will then allow identification of those GAT tables that have
actually predicted the drawn numbers correctly.
Thus the pattern of behaviour of these GATs with their successful predictions
can be studied and appreciated to so allow improved selection of GAT tables
when eventually selecting a table for a target draw.
The panorama display of GAT ID’s when doing
number comparisons becomes colour coded in shades of green. The more numbers in
the prediction that are the same as the comparison numbers the darker is the
shade of green, thus a GAT table can be easily selected for the greatest success
in comparison number hits according to its shade of green.
Also within the panorama panel the header
colouring reflects the amount of correct numbers too. This means the colour
under the top cell e.g. 3-17 illustrates 3 hits achieved by a GAT table that
has the same color underneath. Note that the colour under the cell “Category”
is for 0 hits.
When opening the GAT table at the predicted
numbers tab the actual comparison hit success numbers are also shaded
green. Also in the predicted number
display there may be some numbers coloured yellow. Numbers coloured yellow are
one off or are adjacent to a comparison number, provided an exact number match
did not occur among the proposed numbers. See pic below.
The Results Panel
Two display panels are available within the
Results panel. One called Panorama and the other is an individual GAT Table.
The Panorama panel displays the most
successful GAT tables found during the analysis run for the number of balls
selected in either Absolute, Augmentative or Build-Up modes.
A double click on a table number within its
cell in Panorama will take you to that particular GAT table to see the
predicted numbers and the probability ratios.
Panorama Panel
This is where the best GAT tables found by
the display wizard are presented (the number in each cell being the GAT table ID
number). Multiple tables in one column mean that each of the tables has the
same success rates so it is necessary to explore the individual tables to see
how each performs in other hit categories so as to determine which table might
be the better one to use (and don’t forget to observe the Hit Chart blue line for hit tendency in determining the best
table to select). Any other table can be found within the GAT table Panel by a
left click on the table number at the slider bar where field panel will be displayed
in which can be entered the desired GAT ID table number, given it hasn’t been
eliminated by the scan process.
Whilst moving through the various Category
levels in the Panorama panel it might be observed that one table appears
several times. Perhaps you might like to
keep track of this table. A single click
on the GAT ID will highlight in red all occurrences of the GAT; a double click
on the cell will open the GAT so that the characteristics of the table and its
success statistics may be observed.
Also right click on the table number at the
slider bar and get a sub menu to add this table to a list (many tables can be
added to this list). In adding a table to the list and then on returning to the
Panorama panel all listed tables will be displayed in red. This makes it easier to track your chosen
tables within the Panorama display and so help make an assessment as to whether
the table might be selected for use.
The various activities that may be
performed on and with GAT table are seen in the sub menu in the pic below. Also
can be seen in the attaching submenu are the various functions that can be
applied to any list of GAT tables such as exporting the current list as
“retained GATs” at the options.
Columns and Column Headings
The display is the same for all modes of
operation – Absolute, Augmentative and Build up except in Build Up mode we
cannot compute for Ratios or Improvement Ratio.
Column Display of GAT tables in the sequence X, X-1, X-2,.. X-n
The top performing GATs in terms of hits
produced are displayed in descending order of hit success until all column
cells are filled. Thus the top cells will have GATs producing X hits, with the
following ones X-1 hits and so on. We therefore
expect to see the best performing GATs at the top of each of the columns, but
never the less even though a table may be at the top of a column it should be
carefully examined prior to selection to ensure that it is not suffering a cold
cycle in prediction. See above pic for descending order of hit sequence per hit
category. The Column header values refer to the top most GAT in the column.
Hit Category
There is a hit category equal to the number
of balls in the lottery i.e. a 6 ball lottery will have 6 hit category columns
displayed – a 5 ball lottery will have 5 hit category’s. And if we have
included bonus balls in our analysis there will be further hit categories to
cover the total balls used. Thus for a 6
ball lottery with 2 bonus balls there will 8 hit category’s. What is the other number adjacent to the category
number? In the above panorama pic for the column headed 1 – 76 (hit category 1)
the 76 shows that of the 100 draws analyzed the GAT table(s) at the top of this
column will have had 76 occurrences where at least one number was correctly
predicted. And in hit category 2 there
were 35 occurrences where at least 2 numbers were correctly predicted out of
the 100 draws analyzed (we display augmentative mode here, thus the results are
“at least X correct”). Note that the
hits indicated value in each of the column headers refers only to the top most
GATs. The ‘lesser’ GATs i.e. the X-1,X-2 GATs will obviously have fewer hits.
Ratio%
Ratio% shows the proportion of hits found within a GAT table for the
number level selected. The hits found being the number of draws found by the
respective GAT table i.e. in the screen shot above of the Panorama panel
example above 76 draws or 76% of the 100 analyzed were found to have at least 1
number or more (augmentative mode); 35 draws or 35% were found to have at least
2 numbers with that GAT table indicated, i.e. table 2243 carrying the numbers
that gave this result. 11 draws or 11% were found to have 3 numbers or more
with table 6620 carrying the numbers to give this result. And so on.
Desirable in a GAT selection is to see a 0
% display for 0 numbers predicted. The equivalent of 0 numbers predicted is
where the corresponding Ratio% value for 1 number is 100% in Augmentative Mode.
i.e. every GAT table is carrying a prediction. We don’t want our process to be
finding lots of no hits found. We want success in prediction. Thus the higher we can find for a value of
Ratio% in our various number levels the better our GAT table prediction is
expected to be. Note that the Ratio % value in each of the column headers
refers only to the top most GATs. The ‘lesser’ GATs i.e. the X-1, X-2 GATs will
obviously have lower ratios.
Improvement Ratio (Imp. Ratio)
This is the measure of improvement in the
predicted numbers as found in their respective GAT tables over the classical
probability of a random event producing a similar outcome.
What do we make of this improvement ratio?
Has our GAT number predictor done a decent job for us? Has G.A.T. really given
us a prediction better than a neutrally selected set of numbers, or a quick
pick?
Well it’s reasonably simple to interpret.
If the Improvement Ratio is greater than 1 then the G.A.T. prediction is that
many times better than a random selection and the higher the better of course.
If we see Imp Ratio’s in the vicinity of 0.9 to 1.1 this means the table for
that hit category has performed like a quick pick.
Be aware of what some improvement ratio
values mean. Values less than 1 in the low order columns and in Absolute mode
are an indication of predictions less then better than a random selection. This
is exactly as we would hope for it - is illustrating that G.A.T. does a much
better job at achieving successful predictions in the higher divisions.
Now do a test. After an analysis run has
been completed, use the Panorama table and step the counter (x numbers
requested out of 45 or whatever the last number is in your lottery) out towards
the maximum number of balls. Observe what happens to the Improvement Ratio.
Assuming you started stepping the counter from say about 10 or 12 numbers the
Improvement Ratios actually improve for a while, and then for each division you
will notice how the Improvement Ratio commences to asymptote towards the value
1. i.e. the more numbers we choose the less the improvement over random.
Exactly as expected, for the more numbers we choose even when random the more
chance we have of covering every event. i.e. very hard to make a worthwhile
prediction if we have chosen 44 numbers out of 45. The point suggested here is that there is a
limit to the amount of numbers selected and then expect that G.A.T. will
contribute a significant improvement in prediction. Actually this fact applies to any predictive
process not just G.A.T. The benefit of G.A.T. is that we get guidance on the
improvement found.
GAT Table Panel
We now come to the table that holds our
predicted numbers.
GAT Table Display Methods
Viewing GAT tables to compare one to
another and to ultimately make a selection is an important part of the G.A.T.
process. Several approaches are available.
Where a single table might exist in any Hit
Category it is only a matter of double clicking the table ID in the Panorama
panel and the characteristics of that table will be displayed. Alternatively
highlighting a table cell and then right mouse clicking will give a sub menu
where the table can be added to a List.
Any GAT table in the Panorama panel can be added to the List. When a
table has been added to the List it is also coloured red. See picture.
All the tables in a particular Hit Category
column can also be viewed. Select a table in a Hit category in Panorama and
right mouse click. Instead of selecting
the cell for inclusion in a List, as above, this time select for Browse Hit
Category as per this picture.
Viewing Tables in GAT List or Hit Category
Refer to the GAT Table Panel. Place the
cursor to the immediate left of the slider bar. An active area here will allow
the selection of the GAT list of tables as selected previously in the Panorama
panel. See picture.
If you have added tables to a List select
Browse List. When Browse List is selected the slider bar now works with those
tables in the List. Use the slider bar
to step through your tables. Also note the GAT ID number colour also changes to
red to illustrate the fact this ID is in the list.
If at the Panorama panel you have selected Browse
a Hit category the slider bar will now be working with the tables in the Hit
category selected. Use the slider bar to
step through the Hit Category column of tables.
To change between viewing tables from the
List or viewing tables in a Hit Category it will first be necessary to clear
the browse list or Hit Category. Do this by clicking on the Clear (Clr) Browse
button.
View predicted numbers during analysis
Whilst the analysis process is proceeding it
is possible to select a GAT table to view. As each prediction occurs of the
numbers to occur at the next draw the successful hits of numbers predicted can
be seen displayed in green. This display
is provided as an aid to see how the G.A.T. process goes about its business and
may be of use in determining a GAT table to use.
The Hits Chart
Every GAT table has its own hit display chart
as can be seen above. The red chart line gives a pictorial presentation of the
hit occurrence at each draw where a prediction has been made. The Hits chart also provides a good
indication as to whether a particular GAT table and its prediction numbers is
worthwhile for use over more than just the upcoming target draw. Observe the
chart for the briefest excursion into lower levels and also where these
excursions are few in number. In effect
the table can be seen to be predicting future numbers regularly and so is
likely to continue to do so. Also observe for regularity of hit success i.e.
while the immediate past few draws the results may have been low given the
regularity of hits in the past a better or even improving result can be
expected over the next few draws to come.
The Blue Line on the Chart
With the cursor over the chart right click
and see a sub menu where you can make a selection for the blue chart to see
ahead. Select desired ‘look ahead’ period.
The Blue line gives a brief view of hits
production over a set of X future draws. The higher the value of the blue line,
the better hits per draw. So, for every blue point, when we look ahead e.g. 10
draws, those 10 draws have an average hits/draw. This gives a good assessment
as to whether a particular GAT is at focus and likely to be worthwhile to use
for several draws to come. Observe hills and valleys in an almost regular
pattern. Our aim really is to be at the beginning of a hill, which means we
expect from now on more hits from our table in the near future. Thus the blue
line is showing us tendency or focus. Each blue point refers to the red points
ahead of it – i.e. up to X draws ahead for its evaluation.
Hits Delay
At the Hits Chart select Hits Delay
This chart shows how many draws we have
till a particular hit category shows up.
Specific Hits delay is available under
right mouse click. Select desired delay.
Specific delay characteristics displayed as
per below
Under the right click sub menu actual
delays of any hit category may be selected to give chart as per below.
Right click in this chart to get a submenu
to select for a particular hit category delay.
Select for a desired category and observe
for the delay anticipated for the category.
Copy, Store and Retrieve
GAT Table Data
Copy to Clipboard – GAT table
Predicted numbers are
stored to the clip board in sorted order. Use Copy to Clipboard button when in
GAT Table display mode for predicted numbers.
If the order of sequence for numbers is as GAT has predicted them right
click on the Copy to Clipboard button to cause Copy in this way. Note that if a
set of numbers have been stored in the clipboard these will be over written if
a second set of numbers are copied.
Also use this copy feature
to transfer number sets directly into Wheel
Generator. With the numbers stored
to clipboard open Wheel Generator, select the numbers panel within WG and
‘paste’. The predicted numbers will immediately load the WG numbers panel.
Copy to Clipboard – Panorama
Highlight a single GAT cell
or multiple cells within Panorama and right click to get a sub menu. Select ‘Export Predictions to Clipboard’
function and click. The stored data
shows the stored number sets as well as their source GAT ID. Note that if just one GAT is copied then a
second GAT copied will over write the first.
Copy to a Spreadsheet
The Copy to Clipboard
function copies only the GAT predicted numbers and GAT ID across for subsequent
use. The Copy to Spreadsheet function copies entirely different information and
that is the entire predictive data of the selected GAT against the scanned draw
history. See pic below for a sample of this data. The cells coloured green are those where a
match occurred between prediction and actual draw displayed on the leftmost
column.
On invoking this action at
the sub menu you will be asked to save a file to a folder. This file then needs
to be opened within Excel to observe the data. If you select more than one cell
in the panorama, the export will create sheets for each GAT ID table.
An Entire Analysis Scan
Export/Import Analysis Run
An analysis run can be
exported, G.A.T. closed and then re-opened, recommence analysis again at a
later time from where initial analysis was temporarily halted.
An analysis run may be
Paused with all current data produced by the G.A.T. engine up to the point of
Pausing capable of being saved/stored.
When at Pause select ‘Export Run State’ under the Functions tab where
C:\Folders\YourFolder is displayed.
Select a suitable folder in which to save the data.
Saved data may be recovered
and is suitable for recommencement of an analysis run. To import a saved run G.A.T.
must be correctly configured with the following points applying -
1.
No lottery may be loaded into
the G.A.T. system i.e. on program open the last used lottery is automatically
loaded – this lottery will need to be closed.
2.
For the lottery being analyzed new
draws may be added to the draw history (since the Export function was invoked)
but these do not impact on the imported data as the saved state also includes
its own relevant draw history information which is unaffected by any changes
made at the draw history.
3.
The menu items under the
Function tab - other than the Odds Calculator - are dynamic. Thus the Export
Run State and Import Run State commands are only displayed if all associated
relevant activities are satisfied i.e. no other lottery loaded (for Export).
4.
All Option settings and the
current draw history up to the point of Export are included in the
Export/Import Process.
5.
Should any modifications be
made to the draw history after importing a saved state they will reside in
memory only thus protecting the imported file from any variations that would
make any newly generated GAT table data incompatible with the saved state
data. Not until after the scan run
performed with the imported file has been terminated and closed is any data
appended to the draw history file.
6.
The active Lottery name has a
colour change to yellow to confirm that the current active scan is that of an
imported file.
Methods of Use
Once options are established, carry out the
scan. Depending on your parameter settings and PC computing power the run may
take a considerable time to complete – e.g. several hours (note that the
program can be minimized and other activities carried out on the PC whilst G.A.T.
is performing its analysis). Also note that a scan is actually not ‘completed’;
it is an open ended process and could go on forever if so desired. It is not
until the user decides that further analysis is unlikely to lead to better
performing – prediction wise – GAT tables.
Once the run is Paused the Panorama panel
will display - for the number of balls selected - the best performing GAT
tables at the various hit category levels.
Use the aid of adding a GAT table to the ‘List’ where upon its cell will
be coloured red. With this coloured cell it can be easily observed if there are
multiple appearances in the Panorama panel.
Once a cell has been decided upon for use,
double click on it to open the GAT table behind the cell. The GAT table
selected will display all statistics regarding the hits of the predicted
numbers e.g. total hits per category level, percentage ratios and Improvement
ratios as has been described above.
Transfer Numbers to Wheel Generator
Assuming the various hit ratios and other
assessments are satisfactory the predicted numbers then need to be transferred
into other software to convert them into a suitable ticket entry. The
Anastasios Tampakis companion software of Wheel
Generator is the ideal tool to handle the GAT predicted numbers. To
transfer numbers directly to Wheel Generator click on the button in the GAT
table ‘Copy to Clip Board’. Open Wheel
Generator and at the My Numbers panel right click for the sub menu and Paste
the numbers into the My Numbers panel - very simple.
Tables displayed in Augmentative mode will
in general be used to populate standard wheel structures with their associated
guarantees. However a special case use of Absolute mode will be found to be
beneficial if it is desired to use Wheel Generator to generate Matrix (Serotic)
constructions.
Matrix Wheel Constructions
A Matrix construction requires sets of
number groups. A typical matrix might be three groups with each group having
five numbers - total 15 numbers. The build condition for the matrix wheel is
that we request EXACTLY 2 correct numbers from each of the groups.
Group 1 numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 <- correct="" exactly="" expect="" here="" numbers="" span="" two="" we="">->
Group 2 numbers: 6 7 8 9 10 <- correct="" exactly="" expect="" here="" numbers="" span="" two="" we="">->
Group 3 numbers: 11 12 13 14 15 <- correct="" exactly="" expect="" here="" numbers="" span="" two="" we="">->
The EXACTLY condition is required by the
matrix so to be able to provide the guarantee we expect from it. If for example
Group 1 provides 3 numbers correct (this means another group will provide one
less), then the Matrix Wheel cannot provide the guarantee. Now consider the
source of our numbers is from an Absolute mode table which in its role shows
EXACT hits. So, in the above example, if we plan to use G.A.T. for matrix wheel
construction with Wheel Generator,
we should select Absolute mode and look in various tables of 5 numbers and
select those that produce as many as possible of EXACTLY 2-hits. The only other
factor to ensure is that the numbers in each group are all unique. There must be no number common across the
three groups.
Modes of Operation
The most straight forward way of employing G.A.T.
for predictions is to make a run prior to each upcoming lottery draw, find the
best GAT table and use the suggested numbers in your game play ticket.
However it has been found in the testing
and development of G.A.T. including the use of much earlier private versions of
the system that a GAT table can have a relatively long life, i.e. a table can
have good predictive outcomes over many draws. This can be described as a table
staying in ‘focus’ as new lottery draws are added. However these new draws will either continue
to reinforce the initial table or start supporting other tables where we can
then say that out GAT has gone out of focus. And this is where the probability
factor plays its role i.e. if 4 numbers in 14 have a factor of 50% (for
example) then there is the distinct possibility of getting 4 numbers or more at
every second draw. When G.A.T. is used in the manner described above i.e. a new
run for every draw, the 50% probability may still be there, but each time the
prediction may be on the wrong side of the 50% and so several runs in a row may
produce disappointing negative results. Therefore the preferred way of using G.A.T. is to find a successful GAT table and
then continue to make use of this same GAT over several draws. Note that this is not using the same
predicted numbers over several draws – it is the GAT ID we are to use and the
fresh prediction of numbers it makes for each successive scan i.e. we wish to
use the predictive capability of our GAT over several draws - the ID being the
identifier or name of this particular GAT.
Extend Past Draw Run Factor
Thus we have selected a GAT table, and
given its prior performance, we will be expecting it to remain in focus over
several more draws to come. How can we
keep on accessing this same GAT table over more draws to come?
G.A.T. can cater for this. It necessitates
constancy of the start point from where analysis commences. The only thing that
changes from one analysis to the next is the introduction of the latest draw
into the hard record of the draw history. To enable constancy in prediction
from one analysis run to another it is necessary to cause the G.A.T. engine to
start at the same position in the database (known as Start Point at the
options) from one draw to the next. If
one draw is added it is necessary to cause an increment to ‘Run Factor’ by +1. Effectively
this means that if the initial scan that gave us our good GAT table started 100
draws back from the end of the draw history data file, when we add in another
set of draw results we now have to start 101 draws back to give us the same
start point for our next scan. When we have the same start point all GAT tables
will effectively have their predictive characteristics regenerated to that
which applied in the previous analysis except they will make a new prediction
based on the fact that a new draw has been added to the history. Thus the table
the user originally selected will be as it was from the previous time plus any
further hit information it derives through the analysis from the latest draw.
Thus assuming it remains successful relative to all other tables it may
continue to be used with its freshly predicted number set. If the table is
found not to improve over several new draws then a new table selection could be
beneficial.
How do we increment the Run factor by 1 when
we enter a new draw into the draw history? We do not have to. The default mode
of operation for G.A.T. is that the Run Factor will automatically be
incremented whenever a new draw is entered. Also note that the option
parameters we set up for our initial run should also be carried over into any
new scan when we make use of the Run Factor (this includes the selected field,
total tested draws, stat. data and start point). These parameters are
automatically saved on program close down and are reloaded when G.A.T. is next
opened, so the user has no requirement to record any detail in respect of these
option parameters, unless if he wishes to perform different runs on the same
lottery game.
Odds Calculator
A tool for calculation of the odds in
respect of the appearance of a number or any grouping of numbers in your
lottery is available under the Functions tab.
On opening the calculator the number of
balls in your lottery, the number of balls drawn and the required numbers you
have selected for your group are automatically entered. (The numbers required
is auto entered if scan is active or is paused, otherwise the default is balls
drawn.) Select any of the tick boxes for an overall calculation of odds the
player is facing in their entry into the lottery. Thus for a lotto game of 6/49 and we select
12 numbers - what are the odds of 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 matching numbers or any
combination of these matching numbers? The ODDs calculator can answer this
question. The result is available as either a percentage or as a frequency i.e.
once in X draws
This is a very flexible calculator - is
capable of computing odds for games up to 999 drawn balls and 998 selected
balls. Note that all automatically loaded values may be over written with user
values.
Under right mouse click obtain sub-menu
where functions as shown can be selected.
Questions and Answers
What is G.A.T.?
G.A.T. is a prediction / forecasting system
for lotteries based on finding the ‘signature’ of the lottery and then making a
prediction of a group of numbers based on this signature. The signature is a proprietary feature of the
software authored and owned by Anastasios Tampakis and no, you cannot get
access to it. He is not divulging what it is or how it works.
G.A.T. What sort of a name is that?
G.A.T. has become the generic name for this
predictive system and is derived from the primary output of the process - the
predictive tables. The predictive tables
are subject to data acquisition throughout the analysis process via a global
augmentative methodology – thus we arrive at Global Augmentative Table, or G.A.T.
for short. Throughout the Help file the output tables are referred to as a GAT
or a table quite interchangeably without any difference in the application of
the naming. The GAT system/engine is named as G.A.T. Also throughout these
notes the words ‘scan’, ‘analysis’ and ‘run’ are used interchangeably.
Is G.A.T. suitable for all lotteries?
G.A.T. can be used for all types of multi
number lotteries where say 5 or 6 or 7 numbers are drawn from a barrel of
numbers containing say 45 or 49 or more (or less) balls. Variations of this
lottery type are where one or more bonus balls are drawn from the same barrel,
or where another ball or balls are drawn from a separate barrel i.e. the
typical Power Ball lottery. G.A.T. works
with all of these systems.
G.A.T. is not suitable for Keno type
lotteries or from where 6 numbers may be drawn from 6 individual barrels where
the number range in each barrel is 0 through to n.
What sort of data does G.A.T. need to perform its analysis?
We need draw history to
extract the signatures. To be precise we need D = A + 2 * B + r available draws
where A = tested draws, B = statistical data, r = run factor overhead. The
value of D should be at a minimum of about 50.
G.A.T. requires a minimum of ‘about’ 50 of the
latest draws to satisfactorily perform its functions and also for the user to
discern an appropriate GAT table to use. More than 50 allows better or improved
discernment by the user. See here for further discussion re determination of
the number of immediate past draws required.
Does G.A.T. make use of any statistical methods to arrive at its predictions?
No. G.A.T. is a prediction / forecasting
system based on the ‘Signature’ of the lottery.
There are no statistical evaluations or use of other techniques such as artificial
intelligence or neural analysis of the draw history of any sort to give rise to
some numbers to use at the next lottery draw.
How many GAT tables should I generate?
The G.A.T. analytical process is open ended
so it can theoretically run for ever. Tables are constantly appearing from the
inception of the analysis run and any one of these may well be selected for
use, however the longer the run the more GATs that are explored for their
predictive capabilities and as the run progresses the early appearing GATS are
replaced by better performing tables because they are better – hence the longer
the run the more likelihood of finding a better table to use.
Using the same GAT over several consecutive draws.
This is the preferred method of using the G.A.T.
prediction system. We have found a GAT
that has given good results previously and we know that a GAT has the
capability of producing good predictive results for – hopefully - several more
draws to come. See the Build-up display process which
enables the easy finding of GATs that have performed well over several draws.
We need to do two things to allow us to use
the same GAT from one draw to the next. These two conditions are set up in the
Options panels –first, when a new draw is entered we allow the Run Factor to
step on – i.e. one new draw added to the history, the Run Factor increments by
one - and for two new draws the Run Factor will increment to 2 and so on. Second we need to record the GAT ID (the index
number assigned to every GAT table) and insert this number in the ‘GATs to
Retain’ panel under Options. Recording the GAT ID ensures that it is retained
within the analytical process regardless of the predictive results it achieves when
the next scan is performed and thus allows the viewing of its behavior and
subsequent selection for use or not in
the target lottery. Keep in mind, all the other parameters must remain
identical (selected field, total tested draws, stat. data and start point).
Why do we use the Run Factor feature?
Any GAT when generated is unique in respect
of its starting point in the draw history and also in respect of the feedback
introduced to it from all previous GATs generated (of the current analysis).
Thus after a new draw has been entered into the draw history data base we must
ensure that the starting point for analysis for our GAT is from the same point
it commenced at in the prior draw or when it was first generated. Thus the Run factor parameter ensures this
same starting point each time a new draw is entered.
Note that it is the GAT ID that is carried
forward each time - not its predicted numbers. Also note that many GAT tables
have been observed where 10 or more consecutive draws have had accurate
predictions made.
Why not use the same predicted numbers over several draws?
The number set generated by a GAT table is
a unique prediction for the target draw. These numbers may well of course go on
and prove to be successful at subsequent draws however the G.A.T. predictive
system provides no odds or probability calculations in respect of using the
same number set from one draw to the next. The lottery signature that gave rise
to the predictions will have new information to handle after each new draw is
entered thus a GAT retained for future draws can be anticipated to have similar
predictive capabilities for some draws to come until it eventually loses focus.
What are the best Option Settings to use?
A few factors involved here and in fact
there is no totally correct answer so we should treat this advice as a guide.
Selecting 100 past draws to examine will be quite adequate and sufficient to
perform a good analysis. 100 draws allows observation over a relatively long
term of the predictive performance of the GAT tables where frequency of hits
can be seen plus the cold periods of prediction and the hot periods of
prediction. Observing how the
predictions move out of the cold periods is relevant to what the GAT has done
recently in the last few draws and so - Is a hot predictive cycle about to
begin? Selecting more than 100 will really not tell us much more about GAT
behavior, plus, the more draws analyzed the longer it takes to run. Selecting less than 100 - say 50 or 20 –
inhibits our ability to see the predictive cycles and so discern whether they
are a good choice for use or not .
Number of draws to include in Statistical
Data – a value between 12 and 25 will enable adequate signature determination
for analysis. It has been observed that lower values (<10 15="" 50="" a="" above="" accuracy="" an="" as="" averaging="" be="" because="" but="" can="" cause="" determination.="" diminished="" gat="" generated="" good="" higher="" influence="" is="" lead="" many="" middle="" not="" of="" on="" predictive="" say="" signature="" span="" tables="" tend="" the="" to="" value="" values="" whilst="">10>
The other parameters of column count,
number of numbers to limit, hit categories, etc do not impact on the analysis
process other than a possible speed up of process, and so these parameters are
related to display only and are entirely user determined.
Can I stop an analysis and restart it at some other time?
Yes there is a store/save facility under
Functions ‘Export Run State’. After an
analysis has been paused/terminated it may be stored. This saved analysis can
then be restored and the analysis may be continued. However there must be no
variations to any settings in the Options panels nor can there be any new draws
entered into the draw history – i.e. G.A.T. must be in the same condition on a
restart from a save action as it was when the Save action was invoked.
How many numbers should I attempt to find for my entry into the next lottery draw?
Simply put the more numbers you choose the
more it will cost to enter them in your lottery, so the answer to how many
numbers to use is very much budget driven. And the answer is also very much
associated with how and with what you organize your predicted number set.
Ideally the user will have the companion software by Anastasios Tampakis called
Wheel Generator where GAT
generated number sets can be ‘arranged’ for optimum coverage under given
guarantee conditions within specific line or block limits among a wealth set of
features.
The odds of success in prediction are of
course also related to the number of numbers one uses. Obviously the more
numbers used the higher the chance of success, however trying to squeeze a
result out of 7 numbers for a 6 ball lottery is at the extreme end of the
probability spectrum of success even for G.A.T..
What is it that G.A.T. provides to the User?
G.A.T. proposes
candidate predictions from which the user is required to make a choice. Each
GAT table reflects a candidate prediction which represents a state of
understanding (the detected signature by this particular GAT) on what is
happening within the draws. Based on this
current internal understanding, the GAT will propose a possible prediction
based on that signature. The better the understanding or the stronger the
signature detected the more hits that will be produced. Note that every GAT
carries its own signature determination and so is independent of every other
GAT.
A GAT table also displays
a graph which illustrates its ability to understand what is happening and the
accuracy (hits achieved) of that understanding across the range of draws tested.
Therefore, by observing a GAT table's graph, we can see its ability to
understand the history draws where hit successes form the graph.
Can we be confident that prediction accuracy will continue with future draws?
The GAT chart shows the
performance of the predictive process for every past draw analyzed. The exact
same methodology will be used against the yet unknown draws to come in the
future i.e. the next target draw and any further draws beyond that draw. We can thus have an expectation of
experiencing similar performance in the future to that which has occurred in
the past.
Can G.A.T. provide number sets for Matrix cover constructions in Wheel Generator?
Developing matrix (or Serotic)
constructions is an ideal method of use for both G.A.T. and Wheel Generator. A
possible scenario is to select three GAT number set predictions of 5 numbers giving
a total of 15 numbers. Set GAT to Absolute and select GATs for which 2 (or
more) numbers have been hit with constant regularity (of hits and misses or
well interspersed and not a bunched result of wins or losses) – thus we can be
optimistic that each of our number groups should hold 2 numbers correct at the
next draw. Within Wheel Generator place each of the number sets into their own
group and operate these groups in “Guide Mode”.
Select for 2 numbers required from each group per line or block. Thus our cover design in Wheel Generator will
provide for the desirable event of 2 correct numbers from each of Group 1 and 2
and 3 and depending on the guarantee we have set should provide a very good
result. Note that the original Serotic
cover design was for a complete wheel i.e. if we do get 2 correct in each block
then the jackpot will result under a Serotic design. Wheel Generator used in
this Matrix mode can also give a full wheel or it can be used in guarantee mode
i.e. 4 if 6.
Trouble Shooting Guide
GAT opens in demo mode with a valid license
There can be various reasons why GAT opens
in demo mode. Here are the most common issues and how to address them:
·
Check to ensure you have
internet access ie you can access the web or have an active internet connection.
Open http://gat.anastasios-tampakis.net/.
If the website is up and running, then the master server will be online too so
user validation should proceed – unless there is some other non internet
problem not allowing validation. If the server is down, all users will be
affected and it will be necessary to try again later. If the problem persists
please contact us to inspect the server status. GAT cannot validate the license
when the server is down.
·
You may have a firewall (either
Windows or third-party) that blocks communication of GAT to the internet.
Please allow an exception for GAT to these programs.
·
You may run GAT from a
different machine, or from another user account in the same machine. GAT’s
validation mechanism allows operation only for one user account on one machine.
Run GAT from the same user account always.
·
You may open multiple instances
of GAT very quickly. Although this is allowed under the license, you have to
let the first GAT instance to fully open before opening another GAT instance.
·
You may have implemented a
Windows System Restore mechanism that has altered files and information needed
by GAT (including registry information). Generally, after a System Restore or
installing GAT to a new computer, GAT cannot validate the license, so a reset
account is needed (the reset account functionality is offered for these
situations). To do a reset account, go to the official website of GAT at http://gat.anastasios-tampakis.net/
and login to your account management.
·
If doing all the above, still
cannot open GAT normally, please contact us at contact@anastasios-tampakis.net
stating your User_ID and the results you have by doing the above steps. This
will allow quicker problem tracking and resolution.
