Not all of the Edges in this book are “Systems”, some are methods, strategies or just tools. For the Systems though, there were few general rules implemented to create a baseline for the testing process. One of them was that in order for a system to be deemed worthy it needed to be able to produce one hit in one month’s time and show a profit (except for pairs system). There were a couple of systems that needed to use the entire month as a history file then produced a hit within the first week of the following month, and one system that needed to use a 4+ months back testing, but then yielded a consistent return.

The history file used to back test each of the systems was the Florida lottery (One of the harder lotteries to play, besides California’s digital draw) from January 1, 2006 to January 31, 2006. The Florida lottery is an Evening ONLY system, meaning there are no midday draws. It is recommended that for any of the systems you use, only use one draw file midday or evening. DO NOT COMBINE EVENING WITH MIDDAY DRAW FILES UNLESS TOLD TO BY THE SYSTEM.
