Combined Filters VTracs Levels Pick 4 The VTracs Levels (VTX-LVL) is a so called "combined filter", a combination of a digit and a math filter. It requires two separate parts to create the filter.
The original idea of the VTracs (VTX), standing for variable tracs, was to take the daily lottery and to reduce the number of digits from 10 digits (0 to 9) to 5 digits (1 to 5). The reduction was supposed to simplify the tracking of 1000 Pick 3 numbers to 125 VTracs numbers. In between the VTracs concept was watered down by combining pretty every available filter with VTracs, while originally the idea was to improve the selection of straight numbers. The Levels filter is a so called "math filter". Math filters are created through calculations. This filter provides a way to determine the relative "level" (height) of each digit in relation to the others, the lowest digit of a number always being 1. To show you how to calculate the VTracs Levels filter for a Pick 4 number here an example step by step.
Part I: Pick 4 VTracs Levels Conversion Step 1: Divide 1051 into separate digits: 1051 => 1 0 5 1 Step 2: Convert each digit to filter: 1 = 2 0 = 1 5 = 1 1 = 2 Step 3: Combine the filters to a string: 2 1 1 2 = 2112
Part II: Pick 4 VTracs Levels Conversion Step 1: Divide the number into separate digits: 2112 => 2 1 1 2 Step 2: Select the unique digits and order from lowest to highest: 2 1 1 2 => 1 2 Step 3: Assign a level to each digit starting with 1: 1 => 1 2 => 2 Step 4: Convert the number using the table above: 2 1 1 2 => 2 1 1 2 Step 5: Combine the filters to a string: 2 1 1 2 = 2112
