In 2016, there were 1,078 drawings of the Sportloto 6 out of 49 lottery. During this period, the amount of fees amounted to (on average) 452,683 rubles per draw. Considering that bets on “6 out of 49” cost only 20 rubles, it turns out that each draw involves a little more than 20 thousand combinations, for a lottery with such numerical formula this is ridiculously small. Since the probability of guessing 6 out of 49 is 1 in 13,983,816, then with the current number of bets it is hardly worth expecting that Grand Prize will be able to guess more than 1-2 times a year.

Why is it a six, with such a “mass” popularity, not even a five is guessed in every draw (chance 1 in 54,201)

Anti-record 2016, circulation No. 24236 - only 6200 combinations are involved

The lottery is saved only by the small cost of the bet compared to other games. Still, 20 rubles, this is five times less than in the flagship Stoloto lotteries. But there is also a significant drawback - the payment for the top five is small, 30-45 thousand rubles. In the same Gosloto lottery “6 out of 45” the chance of guessing a five is even higher - 1 in 34,808, and the payout for it is higher. Sometimes ten or more times...

Nevertheless, the Sportloto 6 out of 49 lottery works, the turnover is growing year by year - in 2015 it was 202 million, in 2016 it more than doubled and became 487 million rubles. This is due to the effect of a low base in the past and the small cost of the bet compared to other lotteries. The average turnover per circulation is also growing, this is clearly visible in the 2016 figures.

But, in the diagram above, I deliberately excluded data from two circulations. Because they change a lot big picture. Here's what it looks like taking into account all the circulations.

lottery 6 out of 49 for 2016, turnover for 2016, from draw No. 24231 to No. 25308

Against the backdrop of average values, when the turnover of one draw is plus/minus 500 thousand rubles, the figures for these draws are impressive - No. 24996, the fees amounted to 28,267,400 rubles, No. 25216 - 21,743,760 rubles. This is 40-50 times more than usual! Two circulations brought the operator 50 million rubles, almost 10% annual turnover! What's the secret? It's simple - these are distribution circulations

Distribution of accumulated

According to the law, if no one has guessed the main prize within a year, the operator is obliged to distribution circulation, in which the accumulated amount will be forcibly divided among other prize categories. For players this interesting option, since payments are received more than usual. If no one guesses the main prize.

circulation no., November 30, 2016
Players placed 1,087,188 bets (366,833 receipts). Winning combination— 33, 39, 30, 23, 31, 10 and bonus ball 45. No one guessed either 6 numbers or 5 + 1

• 3 numbers - 300 rubles
• 4 numbers - 7,225 rubles
• 5 numbers - RUB 1,101,123.

5 numbers matched in 9 lottery tickets. The owners of eight of them received a winnings of 1,101,123 rubles each, and one - thanks to an expanded bet - won 4,633,242 rubles.

In 2017, the distribution circulation took place quite recently, on July 19, circulation No. 25900
By this time, more than 30 million had already accumulated, which were planned to be played out. The distribution was supposed to be according to the old scheme - 150 additional rubles for 3 guessed numbers. The remaining amount was distributed in the following percentage

• 4 correct numbers - 35%
• 5 correct numbers - 30%
• 5 correct numbers + bonus ball - 35%.

Players, excited by the opportunity to once again take part in the pie, placed a record number of bets - 2,229,714 (778,658 receipts). But the distribution circulation did not take place. There was nothing left to distribute. Because one of the participants guessed 6 numbers and, single-handedly, won a record prize - 39 827 827 rub.

It is known that the ticket was issued in Moscow, on stoloto.ru. There is no further information about the winner. As well as other details or news - whether the winner visited Stoloto’s office or collected his prize - we don’t know all this yet. And we’re unlikely to find out at all; most likely the winner will join the ranks of a group no one has ever heard of. And he won't hear.

The first draw of Sportloto took place on October 20, 1970, at the Central House of Journalists. The format was based on the game keno, one of the world's oldest numerical lotteries. The Soviet version used the “6 out of 49” formula. The game immediately became popular; 1.5 million tickets were sold for the first edition, and within a week. This is all the more surprising since only Muscovites took part in the first draw; other cities joined the game gradually. Subsequently, each drawing accounted for up to 10 million tickets.

Membership circulation commission decided to invite famous athletes, later it became a tradition. In the first draw, the drawing was followed by the famous football and hockey player Vsevolod Bobrov, commentator Nikolai Ozerov and his colleague Nina Eremina, a former basketball player.

The winner of the first drawing was engineer-economist from Moscow Lidia Morozova, who received the main prize - 5,000 rubles. For the country average salary which at that time did not exceed 200 rubles, the amount was truly gigantic. You could use your winnings to buy a new Moskvich car.

Subsequent circulations were carried out through. At that time, they resembled draws of a cash and clothing lottery: members of the commission spun a transparent drum and with their hands took out balls with winning numbers. At first, tickets were sold in Moscow, the second city, in February, became Baku

In 1971, the distribution network expanded: in March Yerevan was added, then (we indicate in the same order as we connected) - Odessa. Lvov, Kyiv, Tallinn, Zaporozhye, Sverdlovsk, Rostov-on-Don and Leningrad.

In the first 12 months, 70 million Sportloto cards were sold, participants received winnings worth 10,265,670 rubles - half the amount received from the sale lottery tickets. The first year brought many big wins. Despite the fact that 5,000 rubles were paid for the correct six (very big money at that time), almost 10 people.

Also, in the first year it was possible to create 17 zonal Sportloto departments, and by the end of 1973 it was planned to cover all regions of the country

"Sportloto-2"

On October 20, 1973, a second game appeared - Sportloto-2, the circulation of which took place after the main one. The “Sportloto-2” card cost 60 kopecks, since it took part in two draws held on the same day, thereby increasing the chances of winning. And drawings began to be carried out using a lottery machine, which was designed and built Chief Engineer Väino Paasik and mechanic Kalju Turja from the SKB Academy of Sciences of the Estonian SSR. The device they created mechanically mixed and automatically extracted the winning balls.

On January 10, 1974, draws of the Sportloto lotteries began to be held in Moscow, at the studio Central television and broadcast on the first program and the Vostok and Orbita systems, and millions of lottery fans got the opportunity to watch the draws on TV. As musical accompaniment Gershon Kingsley’s melody “Puffed Corn” was used, performed by an ensemble led by Meshcherin.

Sportloto 5 of 36

On August 14, 1976, the first draw of a new sports-numbers lottery with the formula “5 out of 36”, called “Saturday Sports Lotto,” took place. The cards of this lottery took part in a draw that consisted of two drawings held weekly on Saturdays.

Announcement of lottery 5 out of 36 (first name “Saturday Sportloto”) in the newspaper “Soviet Sport”

New circulation devices were put into operation - pneumotrons, in which the mixing of balls was carried out by a jet of compressed air. “Saturday Sports Lotto” was intended to finance the XXIII Summer olympic games in Moscow in 1980. 36 Olympic sports were assigned conditional sport numbers.

Additional ball and other innovations

In 1977, (from the 37th draw), in order to increase the popularity of the “6 out of 49” lottery, an additional bonus ball was played in it, which increased the probability of winning the lottery. In August 1978, all numerical lotteries were transferred to non-draw cards. The maximum winning amount was increased from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles. Draws of the “6 out of 49” and “5 out of 36” lotteries (formerly “Saturday Sports Lotto”) began to be held every Saturday, the drawing was carried out using a pneumatic machine.

In January 1981, another change in the conditions of the game took place, the purpose of which was to make it more exciting and offer participants more options for filling out tickets. The Sportloto draw began to be carried out not from four, but from two draws - one for “6 out of 49”, the other for “5 out of 36”. The ticket itself has also changed; another field has been added so that you can participate in two options (combinations)

“Sportloto” form 5 out of 36, for 2 options

Taking into account the numerous wishes of the players who asked to return to the previous mechanical method of mixing balls, the circulation machines were replaced on January 1, 1982. Draws began to be carried out on two new lottery machines producing simultaneous extraction five or six balls with winning numbers. In January 1985, they were improved, and they began to remove the balls not all together, but one by one.

Sportloto 6 out of 45

Since January 1986, to increase the probability of winning (by 30%), the number lottery "6 out of 49" was replaced by the number lottery "6 out of 45"

Records were collected by Denis Denisenko ( [email protected]) in 2008-2010. The original version of his page is no longer supported; the information remains in

The number drop frequency graph in the draw archive shows the actual number of drops of each ball in the lottery machine for the entire duration of the game. This chart will be applicable to any of the circulation archives selected in the menu above, for example, 5 out of 36, 6 out of 45, or the Gosloto circulation archive 7 out of 49.
In a tabular version and in more detail, you can familiarize yourself with the frequency of numbers appearing within the frequency analysis service.

Graph "Number of numbers drawn."

This graph shows how many times the sums of combination numbers were drawn in the circulation archives.
In order to understand how the number of times the sums of numbers appear is calculated, let’s turn to any of the fragments of the archive of draws 5 out of 36 ( see explanation and picture below).
Circulation No. 7222, the numbers came out: 15, 33, 21, 36, 18 .
Let's calculate the sum of the numbers of this combination: 15+33+21+36+18 = 123 , And
circulation No. 7231, the numbers came out: 18, 24, 34, 11, 36 .
Let's calculate the sum of the numbers of this combination: 18+24+34+11+36 = 123 .
As you can see, these completely different combinations have the same number sum - 123. It follows that during the period of the games from draw No. 7222 to draw No. 7231, the sum of numbers 123 appeared only 2 times, this is the number of sums of numbers.
If we close this help and find this sum of numbers (123) on our chart along the horizontal axis, then we will be convinced that for the entire duration of the game this amount dropped out much more times. At the time of writing this certificate, this amount appeared 61 times (draws No. 1 to No. 7254) in the archive of circulations 5 out of 36. If you select other archives of circulations in the menu, for example, 6 out of 45 or 7 out of 49, then the graph will be built specifically for these circulations archives.

Using this graph, you can identify more promising ones that are growing in terms of the number of times the sum of numbers appears. This, in turn, during further analysis will help us to weed out a huge number of combinations that are unlikely to occur, and to create combinations whose number sums are more promising in terms of the probability of bets appearing in the near future.

Number of number sums drawn
from 1 to 9498 circulation (for the entire duration of the game).

Table and graph "Frequency of even and odd numbers".

These tables and graphs will allow us to see how many combinations with a certain number of even and odd numbers in combinations occurred during the entire period of the game.
Let’s say that most rarely, as practice shows, combinations consisting only of all even or odd numbers appear. For example, in the archive of circulations 5 out of 36 the following combinations are present. Circulation No. 7112, numbers: 11, 13, 25, 15, 33 (even numbers = 0 , odd numbers = 5 ), falling combinations of this format are summarized in the first line of our table in the column “Total combinations dropped”. And also vice versa:
Circulation No. 7141, numbers: 32, 16, 12, 8, 20 (even numbers = 5 , odd numbers = 0 ), falling combinations of this format are summarized in the last line of our table in the column “Total combinations dropped”.
Combinations of this format appear extremely rarely and with a large number of drops ahead of other combination options, so when composing combinations for your bets you can safely weed them out. Another thing is that there are the most promising combinations for a high probability of occurrence, consisting of 2 even and 3 odd numbers or vice versa,
consisting of 3 even and 2 odd, respectively, for the archive of circulations 5 out of 36.
In order to get results for other circulation archives, in the menu above you need to select the circulation archive you are interested in, for example 6 out of 45 or 7 out of 49.
To make the examples clearer, there is a graph below the table that fully demonstrates the results of the tabular data.

Frequency of even and odd numbers
from 1 to 9498 circulation (for the entire duration of the game).

Table "When was the last time a ball fell out."

In this table, we can see in numbers the last time the ball number was drawn in a particular archive of Gosloto draws. Such information is also quite valuable when choosing numbers for a future bet.
There is a maximum probability that the number that is sufficient for a long time did not fall out, it will definitely fall out and from circulation to circulation it will begin to gain momentum in the number of dropouts.

So let's give a description of the columns of this table.

Column "Ball number" is clear, it displays the ball number from 1 to 36 for the Gosloto lottery 5 out of 36, from 1 to 45 for the Gosloto lottery 6 out of 45 and from 1 to 49 for the Gosloto lottery 7 out of 49. This is our input data.
Column "Circles ago", the most valuable, it is by this column that the results of all other columns are sorted. In this column you can see how many draws ago the number we are interested in came out. The result - “in the current draw” means that the balls fell out in the draw that was just held.
results in the "Number of drops" column show the frequency of occurrence, that is, how many times the ball number has appeared in draws over the entire existence of the game.
In the column "Circuit No." The number of the draw in which the ball number participated is displayed.
In the "Combination" column The draw combination in which the ball number fell is shown.
In the Date and Time column we see the date and time of past draws.

When was the last time a ball fell out (during the entire game).

Table "Loss of ball numbers in a row from run to run."

In this table you can see when and with what intensity the numbers dropped out again in the following circulations, and to what extent they transferred from circulation to circulation.

Let's consider and describe this table by columns.

Column "Ball number" it prints the ball number from 1 to 36 for the Gosloto lottery 5 out of 36, from 1 to 45 for the Gosloto lottery 6 out of 45 and from 1 to 49 for the Gosloto lottery 7 out of 49.
Column "Moved in a row from circulation to total circulation". In this column we can see the total number of times during the entire period of the game or for a separate period of time, depending on the settings, the number continuously appeared from draw to draw. It is by this column that all table results are sorted in descending order.
Data in the column " Last time dropped in a row (number of runs)" show how many times a certain number was last continuously drawn from circulation to circulation.
Column "Last consecutive appearance in draws" complements the previous column and shows the very numbers of the draws in which the ball number fell out recently or for the last time in a row from draw to draw.
Column "Last consecutive draws occurred back" allows you to see how many runs ago the ball number fell out and then was no longer repeated from run to run.
Column "Maximum consecutive hits (number of runs)" shows the largest number of runs in which the ball number appeared continuously from run to run.
Column "Maximum consecutive occurrences in circulations" complements the previous column and shows the same circulation numbers in which maximum amount the number of the ball fell out one time in a row from draw to draw.

The numbers of balls falling out in a row from one draw to another.

Shown are the results for the last 20 draws from 9478 to 9498 draws.

Description of additional columns in the circulation archive table.

Column Even shows the number of even numbers drawn in a certain combination.
Column Odd shows the number, respectively, of odd numbers drawn in a certain combination.
In column Sum of numbers The sum of all numbers of a certain combination is calculated and displayed.
For example, archive 5 out of 36, circulation No. 7240, numbers: 34, 09, 12, 21, 30. Add them up and get the sum of the numbers 34+9+12+21+30 = 106.
And finally the last columns 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-36 for archive 5 of 36,

1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-49 for archive 7 of 49 show how many numbers are included in a certain ten numbers.
Let's consider this using the example of numbers of the same circulation No. 7240, combination: 34 09 12 21 30.
Column 1-10 contains 1 number - 9,
Column 11-20 also contains 1 number - 12,
Column 21-30 already contains 2 numbers - 21 and 30
Column 31-36 contains 1 number - 34.

A little about lotteries

IN numerical lotteries a single simple combination is equally probable and is a “single indivisible entity.” In other words, in the space of a complete array, all elements (mentally imagine “cubes”) have the same size, therefore, there are no priority individual combinations. It is impossible to single out “universal combinations” in the entire array that will “always” play better than others, since the lottery machine or circulation generator is equally likely! What is most striking is that even many experienced players do not understand this.

Equal distribution played combinations –
simple proof #1

Let's move on to the most natural statistics in numerical lotteries - combinatorial. To do this, you need to translate all the winning combinations, for example, in the lottery 5 out of 36, into their serial number (index) in the full array. A scatter plot of the distribution of these combinations in the space of the full array can then be plotted, while respecting the interval and location in the circulation history. Each point on this graph represents a combination that actually played in the space of the full array. Since each individual combination is distributed equally likely throughout the entire array, we can divide this space into equal parts (sectors).

Let's divide the full array of 376992 combinations,
let's say - into 12 equal parts - sectors
- 31416 combinations.

All combinations that actually played on this moment in lottery 5 out of 36
(equiprobable distribution), selected sector - any

Let's count the number of matches of each sector over the last 500 draws.
On average, there will be approximately the same number of hits of a combination in any sector - 41 times.
The chance of any sector to match is 376,992/31416 = 1 time in 12 draws (average)
For 500 draws, any sector will play 500/ 12 = 41 times (average) or 4 times for 50 draws or 2 times for 25
If the combination plays in the selected sector, then the chance of the jackpot increases 12 times for one simple combination from this sector, and will be equal to 1 in 31416. If we have 10 combinations in the game, then 1 in 3141.

What is a single combination?

Let's see what a single combination is using the example of lottery 5 out of 36. There are 376,992 such combinations in this lottery. Each combination has its own serial number in the full array (index - cell).

First combination (000001) = 01-02-03-04-05 ...
Last combination (376992) = 32-33-34-35-36 = 376992 pieces

000001 _ 01-02-03-04-05
000002 _ 01-02-03-04-06
000003 _ 01-02-03-04-07
000004 _ 01-02-03-04-08
…….
…….
…….
002024 _ 01-02-07-11-30
002025 _ 01-02-07-11-31
002026 _ 01-02-07-11-32
…….
…….
174078 _ 04-21-25-32-34
174079 _ 04-21-25-32-35
…….
376992 _ 32-33-34-35-36

Absolutely any combination in the full array is no different from others in terms of the probability of a match.
To better understand this, you need to imagine 376,992 individual lottery balls, with all 376,992 combinations labeled.
It is difficult to imagine such a quantity, much less fit it into a picture; I will show only a few balls out of 376,992 pieces.

Let's do a thought experiment- let's place these balls in a huge lottery machine, which throws out only one ball with the combination indicated on this ball for each draw. We should not forget that after each draw, the dropped ball with the combination indicated on it is thrown back into the same lottery drum. Thus, on next edition all combinations will be in place again, and when the lottery machine starts, they will be mixed along with everyone else.

If it is difficult to imagine the option with balls, then let’s try to imagine a huge roulette wheel, where each ball cell represents a combination. There are 376,992 such cells, since such a lined wheel also cannot fit into the picture, so for a general understanding we will draw only a tiny part with combinations - we have highlighted the initial and final ones.

Take a closer look at the picture- the “wheel” is divided into equal cells (equally probable combinations), and the ball (draw generator) can fall into any hole (cell - index), no matter how we designated these cells (even with pictures). After the draw (spin), the wheel does not decrease - all cells remain in place.

• Note: I would like to draw your attention once again - I am writing about a whole simple single combination. For each individual combination (cell), the meaning of any even, odd, sums, intervals between numbers, repetitions, consecutive numbers, etc. is completely lost - since the combination is a single whole and denotes a cell (index) in the complete array, and their huge quantity.

We can trace only individual areas of the array (sectors, ranges, groups of numbers) for the upcoming games, therefore, we will increase our chances of winning the main prize (in individual draws) tens and even hundreds of times. Depends on which sector (array, range) we guess.

Equal distribution
combinations played - simple proof No. 2

Let's take an example of 24 numbers (lottery 6 out of 45), chosen at random.

Let's calculate the probability of complete and partial coincidence on real story circulations in a simplified manner (simple calculation, and quite accurate for a large number of circulations), then we use the special HYPERGEOMET function, which is present in Excel spreadsheets. Represents statistical function, which can be used to calculate the probability of a complete or partial match.

2311 lottery draws 6-45 have been loaded.

1. One match showed in 128 draws
2311/128 = 1 to 18.1.
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 16.6.

2. Two matches showed in 472 circulations
2311/472 = 1 to 4.9
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 4.9

3. Three matches were shown in 754 circulations.
2311/754 = 1 to 3.1
HYPERGEOMET =1 to 3.02

4. Four matches were shown in 659 circulations.
2311/659 = 1 to 3.5
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 3.6

5. Five matches were shown in 249 circulations.
2311/249 = 1 to 9.3
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 9.12

6. Six matches were shown in 37 runs.
2311/37 = 1 to 62.5
HYPERGEOMET = 1 to 60.51

As you can see, the probability of complete and partial coincidence almost completely coincides with the calculated values. This means that the lottery generator produces combinations with equal probability. When generating or manually marking any markers, the values ​​will differ slightly, but they will be close to the theoretical ones. The more circulation history is loaded, the closer the result. Due to the fact that the circulation in the archive is catastrophically small, we use groups of numbers of sufficient length.

From the uniform (equiprobable) distribution, another conclusion follows: it doesn’t matter which numbers are included in the group of numbers - even, odd, top playing field or lower and so on. The only thing that matters is the number of numbers in the group, on which the probability directly depends. We look at the screenshot - 18 numbers of markers are marked - random, top, even.

There are no significant differences in the intensity of the coincidence of 5 numbers.
In other words, the circulation generator pays attention to any marked markers evenly, no matter what you “draw” on the playing field. Sometimes they “advise” to play with so-called “pieces” - this will not change anything in terms of the probability of a match - any “piece” will play with the same frequency as a “non-piece”...

Now we know for sure - any marked group of numbers, in equal numbers, has the same probability of coincidence. Why? Because it is made up of equally probable simple combinations. In this case, how can we even understand which group may be more likely to play in the coming games?

Strategic combination generators for numerical lotteries

When you realize that a particular combination is equally likely,
then some people have complete confusion - regarding common statistics :)

For example, why “even-odd” is played in the “majority” in a certain proportion, or why “sum” plays in the middle range and more. It turns out that the combinations seem to be not equally probable? This question is easy to answer, precisely after fully realizing that a single combination is equally probable. So why do combinations seem to “love to play” in certain proportions, ranges, amounts - if they are equally probable?

• Because we “select” arrays of equally probable single combinations with this information. It is important to know here how many combinations obtained in dedicated sectors. Arrays of combinations, highlighted with statistical information - contain different quantities equally probable combinations, therefore, these arrays have different probability for a coincidence.

Let's look at the example of statistics
even, odd numbers

• Let's try to understand one of the popular tips when choosing a combination:
  choose combinations that contain an equal number of even and odd numbers

Let's figure out why this happens. In lottery 5 out of 36, the most common odds and evens will look like this: 2 even – 3 odd, or 3 even – 2 odd. We count the number (even - odd) of all possible combinations in the lottery 5 out of 36

To better understand why a lottery machine or circulation generator random numbers tries to throw out such combinations of numbers in combinations, let us turn for clarity to the roulette wheel, which is nothing more than an equally probable random number generator, unless, of course, it is skewed

Let's distribute all combinations according to the even-odd criterion together, and according to the table,
Let's draw a circular graph - imagine that these are marked sectors on a roulette wheel

Mentally add the largest sectors that contain 124848 combinations together = 124848 pieces (2 even - 3 odd) + 124848 pieces (3 odd - 2 even) = 249696 combinations out of 376992 possible, or 66.23%, or the chance of these two sectors is 376992/ 249696 = 1 to 1.5 for each spin (draw) or approximately 33 numbers out of 36.

That is why, with each test (roulette spin) of a lottery machine or draw generator, combinations from this sector will tend, in most cases, to play in an odds ratio of 2-3 or 3-2.

• In this example it plays not a separate combination– here a dedicated “huge sector” with combinations plays, in other words, we have marked approximately 33 numbers out of 36, naturally, almost always this number of numbers will “catch” all the prize money!

Why parity in combinations like 2-3 or 3-2? It's all about costs decimal system, which encodes the whole combination. Each individual whole (complete) combination simply represents a cell of 376,992 pieces. Recall the thought experiment with balls, in which the combination is indicated as a whole, or an example with a roulette wheel, where each combination simply designates a cell and is indivisible. But how we select the array of combinations does not matter. It’s just convenient to follow these signs (even-odd) for part of the array - the sector.

If we generate any random combinations for the same number of combinations (2,469,696 pieces), regardless of these proportions in general, then nothing will change in terms of the probability of matching the resulting array (sector) (1 to 1.5). Any equally probable random combination generator will seem to follow this advice on its own (without any filters) - What’s interesting is that no one specifically programs it this way, putting instructions (algorithm) into it to produce exactly these combinations of numbers.

Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself!

1. Look at the draw history - most odd-even combinations will be 2-3, 3-2 (5 out of 36) and 3-3 (6 out of 45).
2. Take any random number generator, combinations - generate and write down the resulting combinations, then check.

Conclusion:

• Most likely, such advice is addressed to those who manually fill out tickets, without any software, even a simple random combination generator will follow this advice on its own.
• This advice is of little use to us, since the sector contains two-thirds of all combinations - not in roulette, because we play for dozens, where the chance is 1 in 3.
• This advice is suitable for lotteries that take place very rarely, although it will not help much.
• It is more correct to try to guess sectors 1-4, 4-1, and with fairly frequent circulations 5-0, 0-5 (we are waiting for the average period)
