What is the Companions checkbox for?
[the email reply] There is a checkbox in menu item ‘Config’ called ‘Show Hints’. This feature would normally be ‘on’ unless you unchecked that checkbox. [With ‘Show Hints’ checked] Hold your mouse pointer over the ‘Companions’ checkbox. A small window should appear saying “numbers commonly picked together”. Hold the pointer over any numbered ball, button, checkbox or dialog [pretty much anything] anywhere within Lotto Cheatah for a context-sensitive description. A classic example of the Companions function at work is the Iowa $100,000 Cash Game last night (July 27/02 results 8-10-11-29-31). Lotto Cheatah picked a 4/5 plus six 3/5 winners in the first 7 picks at the default 100 setting with Companions checked. It hit 0/7 at the same setting with Companions unchecked. Reason? Numbers 29 and 31 are ‘Companions’. They have been drawn together 3 times during the last 5 weeks. The combination 10 and 29 have also been drawn together 3 times over the past 2 months (brings the 10 into the mix)
