Have a look at the last 199 draws
on the attached Odd.txt
It's a list of just odd numbers,
they are divided into sections of ten draws.
I hope you find it helpful

Cheers Len,

It all seems quite random but I suppose it's how we choose to group it for prediction purposes that matters. We could look at each ball column and find out how many odd have occurred in the 119 draws and then work out what is the probable polarity for want of a better word. Or we could add up the number of odds in each row and do the same.

In my attachment for the same number, 119 draws, I'd probably take a guess that we'll have to be seeing more of 3 odd balls in the near draws to come, in order to keep the experimental probability in-check with the theoretical. Is that just an other way of saying, "the law of averages states that..."

I don't know. I wish I paid more attention at school in stats lessons!
