Counting adjacent numbers to supplement the shortcomings of repeating numbers algorithm

The adjacent number algorithm counts the number of adjacents in the previous result. It predicts the number of adjacent numbers for the next draw based on the historical trend of adjacent numbers. As the frequency of adjacent numbers is relatively higher compared to repeat numbers, the matching patterns are also more numerous, making the adjacent number algorithm slightly more complex than the repeat number algorithm.

Adjacent numbers, also known as neighboring or edge numbers, are very interesting algorithms. Some people say that it is similar to the repeat number algorithm but uses the count of adjacent numbers instead of repeat numbers. This statement is partly true and partly false. Basically, the adjacent number algorithm counts the number of adjacent numbers and selects the number of adjacent numbers for the next draw based on the trend. However, there is a significant difference between adjacent and repeat numbers in that the likelihood of adjacent numbers is inconsistent. For example, lottery results with the minimum and maximum values will have a smaller total of adjacent numbers for the next draw. Additionally, if multiple consecutive numbers exist, the number of adjacent numbers will also be relatively slightly less.

In any lottery, the minimum number of adjacent numbers that can be selected is 1 in extreme cases. For example, in Mega Millions, if the lottery result is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, then there will be only one option for the next adjacent number, which is 6. In the real world, extreme cases like this are rare, so we can say that the number of adjacent numbers is generally stable.

In the maximum case, the number of adjacent numbers is c x 2, where c is the number of selected numbers. Because each number has two adjacent numbers when adding or subtracting 1. For example, if the previous lottery result is 3, 7, 11, 18, 27, then there are ten adjacent numbers in total: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 17, 19, 26, 28.

If the previous lottery result has consecutive numbers, then some adjacent numbers are the same as repeated numbers, and the adjacent number algorithm will exclude them. For example, if the lottery result is: 1, 12, 13, 14, 33, then all its adjacent numbers are: 2, 11, 15, 32, 34.

Algorithm adjacent theory

The absolute probability of adjacent numbers is inversely proportional to the total number of selectable numbers

The more available numbers there are, the lower the probability of adjacent numbers. We can analyze neighboring numbers based on different parameters regardless of the odds. Let's take a look at the probability of neighboring numbers in Mega Millions. The probability of 0, 1, and 2 neighboring numbers accounts for most cases, with three neighbors occasionally appearing. The case of 4 neighboring numbers may be a crazy idea because its probability is only about one in a thousand. And forget about five neighboring numbers. It's almost impossible as the algorithm has already excluded them. Therefore, Lotto Uni can help you eliminate unnecessary options, which is one of its basic functions, increasing your chances of winning using various methods.

Choosing 0 or 1 adjacent numbers means you are likely correct. However, it may not help you filter and generate numbers as it excludes fewer combinations. Choosing 2 or 3 adjacent numbers can greatly help us filter numbers, and the key is to track the probability of 2 or 3 adjacent numbers and find potential patterns. The probability of 2 adjacent numbers is 11%, which means that, on average, it will appear once every 10ish times. Considering some densely appearing cases, if it has not appeared after more than 20 times, there is a basis for choosing them. Of course, some people find that the historic trends are already quite regular. Then they boldly predict it may be time for a dense appearance. These two scenarios are just examples, and many potential patterns are waiting for you to explore.

Adjacent numbers trend analysis

To correctly use the adjacent number algorithm, you need to observe the adjacent number trend chart below and find a pattern you recognize to choose adjacent numbers for the next draw. Both high and low probabilities are important, but the key is to determine which probability you think is likely to occur next. From the chart, we can see that recently, most draws had either 0 or 1 adjacent number, with one adjacent number appearing less frequently. 2 adjacent numbers have also appeared, which matches the absolute probability analysis. As shown by the absolute probability analysis, 0 adjacent numbers appear about once every two draws, one adjacent number appears about once every three draws, and two adjacent numbers appear about once every ten draws.

Algorithm adjacent trends

In this trend, it seems difficult to determine what the next adjacent number should be. So we need more data, and you can check it on Lotto Uni, where there is an analysis of the results from the recent hundreds of rounds. Different periods will have different trends. When the data within a short period is not enough to help us judge, we need to look at more information. Finally, we can find potential patterns from the trends.

Adjacent numbers filter

If you have your own ideas about neighboring numbers by observing various statistical charts, you can use the filter to generate your lottery numbers. Simply slide the slider to select the number of neighboring numbers, then click the add button to add it to the calculator, and you can generate the lottery results for the next draw. From here, you can also see that the adjacent numbers algorithm does not care about which specific number is the neighboring number, nor does it care about whether it is the neighboring number that is added or subtracted. It only cares about the total number of neighboring numbers.

Conclusion

The neighbor number algorithm is similar to the repeat number algorithm. Still, the range of selection is slightly wider, so it has more patterns and stronger playability than the repeat number algorithm. The probability of neighbor numbers is not fixed and can vary greatly in extreme cases, but such cases rarely occur and generally do not need to be considered. The key is still finding the pattern you recognize and selecting the number of neighbor numbers to generate the lottery numbers for the next draw. In addition, the neighbor number algorithm only cares about the number of neighbors, not the specific numbers.
