🔍 How to Use the L2 Tools

L2 means two rows — two draw events — combined and searched together. Instead of looking at one draw at a time, the L2 Tools line up a pair of consecutive draw events and search the entire draw history for every other time that same two-event relationship has happened before. Three engines, three angles on the same idea: L2 Basic for number and position patterns, L2 Totals for sum-based patterns, and L2 Difference for gap-based patterns.

🔎 L2 Basic 🎯 L2 Advance ∑ L2 Totals ± L2 Difference 🔁 Lapping Search 📈 Full Draw History

⚠ Before You Start — What "L2" Actually Means

🎲 Week / Draw 1

The earlier of the two draw events you are pairing together

+
🎲 Week / Draw 2

The later draw event, analysed as a pair with Draw 1

=
🔍 L2 Pattern Match

Every historical occurrence where that same two-draw relationship repeated

Why "Lapping" matters: All three L2 tools let you choose how strictly the two draws must relate to each other — loosely (General), strictly with matching positions (Strict – By Position), or strictly but checking every box in turn (Strict – No Position). Understanding this one choice unlocks all three tools, so we explain it in full inside the L2 Basic section below.

L2 BASIC — Number & Position Pattern Search

🔎 BASIC

L2 Basic answers one question: "When box 1 (or any box I choose) landed a certain number in one draw, what number tended to land in another box the following draw — and how often?" You choose a pattern type, an order, and which boxes to fill in for Win and Machine, then the tool scans every two-draw pair on record for your selected game(s).

1
Select a Game to Transfer Required
This is a multiple-select field — you can tick over 100 games at once and the tool will run the exact same search across every one of them in a single pass. Great for spotting whether a pattern is specific to one game or common across many.
📷

SCREENSHOT — Game Selector (Multi-Select)

Insert a screenshot showing several games ticked in the game selector list
Tip: Start with one game while you're learning the tool, then widen to multiple games once you're comfortable reading the results table.
2
Select Pattern Type Required
This is the heart of L2 Basic. It decides how strictly the two draws must match each other. There are three modes, and every one of them can be applied to Win numbers, Machine numbers, or both.
🔌 Lapping | General

The loosest search. You're free to pick any box on Draw 2 and any box on Draw 1 — they don't need to be the same box. This lets you test relationships between different positions across the two draws.

🎯 Lapping | Strict – By Position

The tightest search. Whichever box you pick on Draw 2 must be matched by that exact same box on Draw 1 — choose box 4 for week 2, and week 1 is automatically checked in box 4 as well.

🔄 Lapping | Strict – No Position

Same strict same-box logic as above, but repeated across every box in turn: box 2 to box 2, box 3 to box 3, and so on — giving you a full strict comparison across all positions at once.

📷

SCREENSHOT — Pattern Type Selector

Insert a screenshot of the Pattern Type dropdown showing the three Lapping options
Which one should I pick? Start with General if you're exploring a rough idea about how two boxes relate. Move to Strict – By Position once you have a specific box in mind you want repeated exactly. Use Strict – No Position when you want the tool to check every box pairing for you automatically.
3
Select Orientation (Search Order) Required
Choose whether the draw history is scanned Search Order | Down (from the most recent draw backwards) or Search Order | Up (from the oldest draw forward). This only changes the reading order of results — not which matches are found.
4
Select Last Draw Inclusion Required
Choose Include Last Event | Yes to fold the most recent draw into the search, or Include Last Event | No to leave it out. This matters when you're using the very latest draw as your "Draw 1" reference and want to forecast forward — excluding it stops that draw from also counting as a historical match.
5
Date Option & Event Option Optional
Narrow the search window before you even get to the pattern fields. Date Option lets you filter by Year, Month, and Day in almost any combination — Year + Month + Day, Year + Month, Year + Day, Month + Day, or a full date range. Event Option lets you instead filter by a specific event number range. Leave both blank to search the entire draw history.
📷

6
Build Your Main Pattern Search
This is where you tell the tool exactly what to look for. It has five parts:
🔢 Count Option

Tells the tool which draw number to jump to on each side of the pair, counting back from the most recent draw. Choosing 6 for the first side and 3 for the second means: land on draw 6, skip draws 5 and 4 entirely, then land on draw 3 and skip draws 2 and 1 — comparing only draws 6 and 3 as your pattern, with everything in between ignored.

📌 Position (Win)

Choose whether your Win search should care about exact box position, or just presence anywhere in the draw.

✍ Fill Form (Win)

Manually or automatically fill numbers into Win box 1 through box 5.

📌 Position (Machine)

Same by-position choice as above, applied to the Machine numbers.

✍ Fill Form (Machine)

Manually or automatically fill numbers into Machine box 1 through box 5.

Tip: Use "Auto-fill" while exploring to let the tool populate boxes for you, then switch to manual entry once you know exactly which numbers you want to lock in.
7
Include Frequency Table Required
Decide whether you want a frequency breakdown added to your results — showing Bankers, Two Sure, Three Direct, Four Direct, and Five Direct numbers that occurred repeatedly right after your matched pattern. This turns a list of raw matches into a ranked shortlist of numbers.
8
Submit & Highlight Your Results
Hit ✓ Submit to run the search across the full draw history. Once your results table appears, use the Highlighter field at the bottom to type in any numbers you want visually marked throughout the results — handy for spotting your bankers at a glance across a long results table.
📷

▶ Recommended L2 Basic Workflow

1
Pick your game(s) and start with Lapping | General to explore loosely.
2
Set your Count Option — the two draw numbers you want to land on and compare, skipping everything in between.
3
Fill in your Win / Machine boxes with the numbers and positions you want to test.
4
Tighten with Strict modes once General confirms a loose relationship worth narrowing down.
5
Turn on the Frequency Table to see which follow-up numbers repeat most often, then highlight your shortlist.
2

L2 ADVANCE — Preferred-Number & Proximity Search

🎯 ADVANCE

L2 Advance takes a different angle from L2 Basic. Instead of building a pattern from Lapping rules, it lets you search directly for specific preferred numbers and where they sit — by exact box position, by proximity to each other, or simply by presence — across all two combined draws (Draw 2, and Draw 1). It's the tool to reach for when you already have specific numbers in mind and want to know how they've historically behaved together.

📷

SCREENSHOT — L2 Advance Main Interface

Insert a screenshot of the full L2 Advance tab showing the game selector and the preferred-number search fields
1
FBW & FTBW — Match Two Numbers in the First & Fourth Box
Enter two preferred numbers (1–90). The search finds every historical occurrence, across your two combined draws, where both numbers appeared in the winning numbers — one in the First Box (FBW) and one in the Fourth Box (FTBW). This is a position-specific search: both numbers must land in those exact draw positions for a match to count.
Use when: You have a strong banker number you expect in a specific draw position and want to see how it's historically lined up with another number across two combined draws.
2
SBM & CBM — Two Numbers by Second or Centre Box
Search for two preferred numbers (1–90) that have appeared in either the Second Box (SBM) or the Centre Box (CBM) — in either the winning numbers or the machine numbers — across your combined draws. This helps you find events where your chosen numbers hit a specific central draw position, which is often overlooked in standard analysis.
3
One Win Number by Position + One Machine Number by Position
Enter one number for the Win side and one for the Machine side, both with specific draw positions. The tool finds every occurrence where winning number X landed in position A and machine number Y landed in position B, tracked across the two combined draws. This cross-category positional search is uniquely powerful for forecasters who track relationships between winning and machine numbers over multiple draws.
4
Set of Three Preferred Numbers — Close Together
Enter three preferred numbers and search for occurrences where all three appeared in close proximity — either in the winning numbers or machine numbers — across your combined draws. "Close together" means the numbers occupied consecutive or near-consecutive draw positions, revealing a clustering pattern rather than a strict positional one.
Pattern to watch for: Numbers that cluster together across combined draws often share an underlying group or column relationship worth cross-referencing in the Statistics Tools.
5
Set of Three Preferred Numbers — Not by Position
The same three-number search as above, but without any positional requirement — the tool simply checks whether all three preferred numbers appeared anywhere in the winning numbers or machine numbers across your two combined draws. Broader than the position or proximity searches, and useful for confirming whether a trio of numbers tends to appear together at all.
6
Unlimited Horizontal Search
L2 Advance applies your chosen parameters across the entire historical draw database for your selected game(s), with no cap on how many matching events are returned. Every historical occurrence that satisfies your criteria across all two combined draws will appear in the results.
📷

▶ Recommended L2 Advance Workflow

1
Start with FBW & FTBW or SBM & CBM if you have two specific banker numbers and a position in mind.
2
Try the Win/Machine cross-position search if you're tracking a relationship between a winning number and a machine number.
3
Use the three-number searches — close together or not by position — when you have a trio you believe is due to appear together.
4
Submit and review the full, uncapped results — a high match count confirms a reliable pattern, a low one flags a rarer, potentially timely occurrence.
3

L2 TOTALS — Sum-Based Pattern Search

∑ TOTALS

L2 Totals asks a different question: "When you add certain boxes from Draw 2 and Draw 1 together, what total keeps recurring?" It carries over the same Lapping pattern logic as L2 Basic, then layers a total-based orientation on top — so you can search sums across, down, or within each draw.

📷

SCREENSHOT — L2 Totals Main Interface

Insert a screenshot of the full L2 Totals tab showing the game selector, orientation type, and total input fields
1
Select a Game to Transfer Required
Same as L2 Basic — a multiple-select field, letting you run the identical total search across over 100 games at once.
2
Select Orientation Type Required
Orientation decides how the two draws get added together. All three modes work on Win, Machine, or both.
🔄 Orientation | General

Adds numbers from Draw 2 and Draw 1 together using your specified total — the standard cross-draw sum search.

↕ Orientation | Vertical

Adds numbers from Draw 2 and Draw 1 together column by column, using your specified vertical total.

↔ Orientation | Horizontal

Adds numbers only within Draw 2, and separately only within Draw 1, each against your specified horizontal total.

📷

SCREENSHOT — Orientation Type Selector

Insert a screenshot of the Orientation dropdown showing General, Vertical, and Horizontal
3
Select Pattern Type Required
Exactly the same three Lapping modes from L2 Basic — General, Strict – By Position, and Strict – No Position — layered on top of your chosen orientation to control how tightly the two draws must relate before their totals even get compared.
4
Search Order & Last Draw Inclusion Required
Just like L2 Basic: choose Search Order | Down or Up for how results are ordered, and Include Last Event | Yes or No to decide whether the most recent draw is included in the search.
5
Date Option & Event Option Optional
Filter the search window by Year, Month, Day, or a date range, or instead by a specific event number range — identical to the Date and Event Options in L2 Basic.
6
Build Your Main Pattern Search
This is the largest field in L2 Totals, with several parts working together:
🔢 Count Option

Same jump-and-skip logic as L2 Basic: pick which draw number to land on for each side of the pair, and everything in between gets skipped — e.g. draw 6 on one side, draw 3 on the other, with draws 5, 4, 2, and 1 left out entirely.

📊 Total Boxes (Win)

How many Win boxes or positions to add together — e.g. 2 boxes in Win.

📌 Win Position Select

Choose specific Win positions to total, or leave it open to any positions.

🔢 Win Total Required

The exact total you want the tool to search for in Win.

📊 Total Boxes (Machine)

How many Machine boxes or positions to add together — e.g. 2 boxes in Machine.

📌 Machine Position Select

Choose specific Machine positions to total, or leave it open.

🔢 Machine Total Required

The exact total you want the tool to search for in Machine.

↔ Horizontal Total

Activates only when Orientation | Horizontal is selected — enter the total to search within each single draw.

↕ Vertical Total

Activates only when Orientation | Vertical is selected — enter the total to search column by column.

Watch for this: The Horizontal Total and Vertical Total fields are conditional — they only appear once you've selected the matching Orientation type in Step 2. If you don't see them, double check your Orientation selection first.
📷

SCREENSHOT — Main Pattern Search: Total Boxes, Position Selects & Totals

Insert a screenshot showing Total Boxes, Win/Machine position selects, Win/Machine totals, and the Horizontal/Vertical Total fields
Two further fields round out the pattern search, both optional: a Position field and Fill Form for Win (boxes 1–5), and the same pair for Machine — letting you combine a total search with specific number and position requirements at the same time.
7
Include Frequency Table & Submit
As with L2 Basic, choose whether to add a Bankers / Two Sure / Three Direct / Four Direct / Five Direct frequency breakdown, then hit ✓ Submit. Use the Highlighter field afterwards to mark your key numbers across the results.
📷

SCREENSHOT — L2 Totals Results Table

Insert a screenshot of the L2 Totals results table with the frequency table and highlighter visible

▶ Recommended L2 Totals Workflow

1
Choose Orientation first — General for a simple cross-draw sum, Vertical for column totals, Horizontal for within-draw totals.
2
Set your Total Boxes and enter your target total for Win and/or Machine.
3
Layer on a Lapping type to control how strictly the two draws must relate before totalling.
4
Add optional position/fill filters if you also want to pin down specific numbers alongside the total.
5
Submit and review the Frequency Table for your strongest follow-up candidates.
4

L2 DIFFERENCE — Gap-Based Pattern Search

± DIFFERENCE

L2 Difference asks a third question: "What's the gap between certain boxes across the two draws, and how often has that exact gap repeated?" Rather than one total field, it gives you up to five independent difference options, so you can test several gap relationships in a single search.

📷

SCREENSHOT — L2 Difference Main Interface

Insert a screenshot of the full L2 Difference tab showing the game selector, pattern type, and the five Position/Difference option rows
1
Game, Pattern Type, Search Order & Last Draw Inclusion Required
These four fields work exactly as they do in L2 Basic: pick your game(s) from the multi-select, choose a Lapping pattern type (General / Strict – By Position / Strict – No Position), set your Search Order (down or up), and decide whether to Include the Last Event.
2
Date Option & Event Option Optional
Filter by Year, Month, Day, a date range, or an event number range — the same as the other two L2 tools.
3
Build Your Main Pattern Search — Up to 5 Difference Options
Start with the Count Option to choose which draw number to land on for each side of the pair — the same jump-and-skip logic as the other two tools, so draws in between your two chosen counts are left out of the comparison. Then fill in as many of the five difference options as you need — each is a self-contained pair of fields:
1️⃣ Option 1 — Position + Difference

Choose the boxes or positions to compare, then set the difference you want to find between them. Example: a difference of 2 between two boxes in Win.

2️⃣ Option 2 — Position + Difference

A second, independent position-and-difference pair, evaluated alongside Option 1.

3️⃣ Option 3 — Position + Difference

A third position-and-difference pair.

4️⃣ Option 4 — Position + Difference

A fourth position-and-difference pair.

5️⃣ Option 5 — Position + Difference

A fifth position-and-difference pair, for the most detailed multi-gap searches.

📷

SCREENSHOT — The Five Position/Difference Option Rows

Insert a screenshot showing all five Position and Difference option rows, with one or two filled in as an example
You don't have to fill all five: Use just one option row for a simple single-gap search, or combine several to demand that multiple gap relationships all hold true at once for a match to count.
Two more optional fields round out the search: a Fill Form for Win (manually or automatically filling boxes 1–5), and a Position field plus Fill Form for Machine — letting you anchor your difference search to specific numbers as well as specific gaps.
4
Include Frequency Table, Submit & Highlight
Choose whether to include the Bankers / Two Sure / Three Direct / Four Direct / Five Direct frequency table, then hit ✓ Submit. Use the Highlighter field to mark your key numbers throughout the results for quick reading.
📷

SCREENSHOT — L2 Difference Results Table

Insert a screenshot of the L2 Difference results table with matched gap patterns and the highlighter field visible

▶ Recommended L2 Difference Workflow

1
Start with one difference option to confirm a single gap relationship has genuine history before adding more.
2
Layer in a Lapping type to control how strictly the two draws must relate.
3
Add further difference options one at a time, checking how the match count changes after each addition.
4
Anchor with Fill Form numbers once you're happy with the gap pattern, to test it against specific numbers you're considering.
5
Submit, then read the Frequency Table for the strongest numbers that followed your matched gap pattern historically.
