Can Stake Analyzer predict exact winning Keno numbers or guarantee wins?

No, Stake Analyzer cannot predict future outcomes or guarantee wins. This is a statistical analysis tool, not a prediction system. Stake's Keno uses a cryptographically secure Random Number Generator (RNG) with provably fair technology, making genuine prediction mathematically impossible. What our tool does is analyze historical data to show patterns like frequency distributions and hot/cold numbers - but these patterns are descriptive, not predictive. Think of it like a weather station that records past temperatures: knowing it was hot yesterday doesn't mean it will be hot tomorrow. In truly random games, every number has exactly a 25% chance of being drawn (20 out of 80 numbers), regardless of past results. Our heatmaps and statistics help you understand game patterns for entertainment and analytical purposes, but they cannot improve your odds of winning.

How does the Keno heatmap visualization work?

The Keno heatmap is a simple frequency visualization that shows how often each number (1-40) has been drawn in your recent games. It works by: 1) Counting Occurrences - Tracks how many times each number appears in the last 500-1000 games. 2) Color Mapping - Converts frequency to colors using a gradient from cold to hot. Numbers with low hits appear yellow/blue, average frequency shows as green/yellow, and high frequency displays as dark green. 3) Real-time Updates - Colors recalculate instantly after each game. The heatmap uses a relative scale where the most frequent number sets the maximum (dark green), and all others are colored proportionally. Important: This is purely a visual representation of past results. A "hot" dark green number simply means it appeared more than others in your sample - it does NOT indicate future probability. Each number maintains exactly 25% draw chance regardless of color.

What is the Heat Score and how does it rank number combinations?

The Heat Score is a algorithm for ranking number combinations (pairs, triplets, etc.) - completely separate from the individual number heatmap. It calculates a 0-100 score using multiple factors: 1) Frequency Factor - How often the combination appears versus expected probability, using logarithmic scaling. 2) Recency Factor - Exponential decay based on games since last appearance (e^(-betsSince/expectedInterval)). 3) Interval Consistency - Gaussian distribution comparing current gap to historical average intervals. 4) Cooldown Modifier - Reduces score for combinations absent longer than their typical interval. The Math: Combines these factors multiplicatively, then normalizes to 0-100 range. Higher scores indicate combinations that are both frequent AND recently active with consistent intervals. Display: Shows in the "Hot Number Groups" section with color-coded cells - green (high score) to red (low score), plus trend indicators (▲▼). Purpose: Helps identify which combinations cluster together more than random chance would suggest, though this remains descriptive analysis, not prediction.

How does Stake Analyzer track and analyze number combinations?

Our combination tracking uses correlation analysis to monitor which numbers appear together. When you play Keno and numbers are drawn, the extension's background.js generates all possible combinations (pairs, triplets, up to sextets) using the generateUniqueCombinations function. For example, if numbers 5, 12, 23, 45 are drawn, we track: 6 pairs (5-12, 5-23, etc.), 4 triplets, and 1 quadruplet. Each combination is stored with: Count (frequency), Bets Since (games since last occurrence), Average Interval (typical gap between appearances), and Heat Score (calculated similarly to individual numbers). The correlation data helps identify which number groups appear together more frequently than statistical expectation. Key insight: In fair RNG systems, all combinations have equal probability. Any patterns are coincidental clustering, not predictive indicators. We track up to 500 recent games for performance, with older data automatically pruned.

What do "hot" and "cold" numbers actually mean in Keno?

Hot numbers appear more frequently than the statistical average (25% chance) in your recent games, while cold numbers appear less often. In our heatmap, colors indicate temperature: Dark Green = Hot (appearing frequently), Yellow/Blue = Cold (appearing rarely), Green/Yellow = Average frequency. Critical understanding: This is purely historical data visualization. Due to the Gambler's Fallacy, many players mistakenly believe hot numbers will continue hitting (momentum) or cold numbers are "due" (catch-up). In reality, Stake's provably fair system ensures each number has exactly 25% probability every game, regardless of history. A number absent for 1000 games has the same chance as one that hit 10 times straight. Use hot/cold data for: Entertainment value, Tracking randomness distribution, Verifying game fairness over time. Not for: Predicting future outcomes or gaining mathematical advantage.

What data does Stake Analyzer collect and where is it stored?

Zero data leaves your browser - everything is 100% local. Stake Analyzer uses Chrome's storage.local API exclusively, meaning all data stays on your device. We collect: Game Results Only - Drawn Keno numbers, Plinko multipliers, timestamps, bet amounts (for ROI tracking), game seeds. We NEVER access: Login credentials, balance information, payment methods, personal details, browsing history. Technical implementation: The extension uses content script injection to read game results from Stake's API responses. This data is processed by background.js and stored locally. No external servers, no analytics, no telemetry. You can verify this by checking our manifest.json permissions - we only request access to stake domains and local storage.

How do I install Stake Analyzer manually as a Chrome extension?

Since Chrome Web Store restricts gambling-related tools, Stake Analyzer requires manual installation. Step-by-step process: 1) Download the ZIP file from stakeanalyzer.live. 2) Extract the ZIP to a folder (remember location). 3) Open Chrome and type chrome://extensions/ in address bar. 4) Enable "Developer mode" toggle in top-right corner. 5) Click "Load unpacked" button that appears. 6) Select the extracted folder containing manifest.json. 7) Pin the extension using the puzzle icon in toolbar. Important notes: The "Developer mode" warning is normal for manual installs. Updates require downloading new versions and repeating the process - your data is preserved. The extension auto-activates on Stake.com, Stake.us, and official mirrors. For unrecognized mirrors, add permissions in extension settings. Security: Only download from official sources. Check that manifest.json matches our version for authenticity.

What Plinko statistics and patterns does the analyzer track?

Stake Analyzer provides comprehensive Plinko tracking: Multiplier Frequency Map - Shows how often each multiplier position hits compared to theoretical probability. Current vs Expected Distribution - Compares your results to mathematical expectations (e.g., 1000x should hit ~0.0015% in 16-row high risk). Interval Tracking - "Bets Since" counter for each multiplier, showing how long since last occurrence. Cumulative ROI Graph - Real-time chart of profit/loss progression across sessions. The extension captures: Multiplier result, bet amount, payout, risk level, and timestamp for each ball drop. Statistical insight: Over thousands of drops, distribution should match Plinko's 99% RTP. Significant deviations might indicate lucky/unlucky streaks or potential issues worth investigating through provably fair verification.

What's the optimal number of Keno spots to play for best returns?

Optimal spot selection depends on your goals and risk tolerance: 4-6 Spots offer the best mathematical balance - ~3-4% house edge, 25-35% hit frequency, moderate volatility. Most experienced players prefer this range. 7-8 Spots provide medium volatility with 15-20% hit frequency but better maximum payouts. Good for balanced bankroll growth. 1-3 Spots give frequent small wins (40-60% hit rate) but limited upside. Best for extending playtime. 9-10 Spots enable massive payouts (up to 10,000x) but extreme volatility - expect all-number hits <0.01% of games. Stake-specific considerations: Their pay tables offer better RTPs (96-97%) than traditional Keno. The analyzer tracks your actual performance per spot count, showing which performs best for your play style. Remember: Each spot count has negative expected value long-term. Choose based on entertainment preference, not profit expectation. Our data helps optimize for your goals - maximum playtime, volatility preference, or jackpot hunting.

How should I use Stake Analyzer for responsible gambling?

Stake Analyzer is an entertainment tool, not a winning system. Use it responsibly: Track, Don't Chase - Use win/loss data to monitor spending, not justify continued play. Set hard limits before sessions. Understand the Math - No pattern changes the house edge. Long-term losses are mathematically certain. Our tool shows this reality through ROI tracking. Time Management - Set session timers. Extended play leads to poor decisions regardless of "hot" numbers. Reality Checks - Cold streaks aren't "due" to end. Hot streaks aren't skill. Each game is independent. Warning Signs: Betting more after losses, believing patterns give an edge, playing with money you need, extending sessions to "get even". Helpful Features: Export your loss data for reality checks, use cumulative charts to see long-term trends, set up browser notifications for time limits. If gambling becomes problematic, use Stake's self-exclusion or seek help from BeGambleAware, GamCare, or similar organizations. Remember: The analyzer makes games more interesting but doesn't change odds.

Which browsers and devices support Stake Analyzer?

Officially Tested: Chrome (v88+) is the only browser we've tested and officially support. Should Also Work On: Microsoft Edge (Chromium), Brave Browser, Opera, Vivaldi - these use the same Chromium engine as Chrome, but we haven't tested them. NOT Compatible: Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer (different extension systems). Mobile Support: Standard mobile browsers (Chrome, Safari) don't support extensions. However, Kiwi Browser on Android allows Chrome extension installation. iOS has no extension support. System Requirements: Any OS (Windows 7+, macOS 10.12+, Linux), 4GB+ RAM recommended, ~50-100MB storage per 1000 games tracked. Stake Compatibility: Automatically works on stake.com, stake.us, stake.ac, stake.games, stake.bet, and most official mirrors. For unlisted mirrors, manually add permissions in Chrome settings. Performance Tips: Latest Chrome version recommended, disable conflicting extensions (ad blockers may interfere), clear old data if exceeding 500 games. While Chrome is the only tested browser, the extension should work on other Chromium-based browsers.

How does Stake's provably fair system affect the analyzer's usefulness?

Stake's provably fair technology makes genuine prediction impossible while confirming our analysis shows true randomness: How It Works: Before playing, Stake generates a hidden server seed and shows you a client seed (changeable). These combine with a nonce to create a hash determining results. Outcomes are predetermined before you even pick numbers. After rounds, you can verify fairness using revealed seeds. Impact on Analysis: Our tool becomes a fairness verifier - showing that distributions match mathematical expectations. True randomness means patterns are coincidental, not predictive. Historical data can't influence future predetermined results. Analyzer Benefits Despite Randomness: Verify game fairness through distribution analysis, track personal performance and spending habits, add entertainment through pattern visualization, identify statistical anomalies worth investigating. If analyzer data shows extreme deviations from expected probabilities across thousands of games, use Stake's verification tools to confirm fairness. Our tool complements provably fair systems by providing the statistical analysis to confirm randomness.

How often should I check the analyzer and when does data refresh?

Real-time Updates: Every completed game instantly updates all statistics - no manual refresh needed. The heatmap recalculates immediately using our sliding window algorithm. Optimal Checking Frequency: *Casual Players:* Review every 50-100 games for meaningful pattern shifts. *Pattern Enthusiasts:* Check every 20-30 games, but remember these are random fluctuations. *Performance Tracking:* Daily/weekly reviews provide best bankroll insights. Technical Details: Stores last 1,000 games by default (configurable), uses weighted averaging (recent games matter more), prunes old data automatically for performance. Why Not Constant Monitoring: Random clustering creates false patterns, minute changes aren't statistically significant, obsessive checking can encourage problem gambling. Remember: The heatmap shows where you've been, not where you're going.

Why isn't Stake Analyzer tracking my games or showing data?

Common Issues & Solutions: 1) Console Errors: Press F12, check Console tab for red errors - report these for support. Quick Fix Sequence: Refresh page → Click extension icon → Play one game → Check if tracked. Still Not Working? Reinstall extension (data preserved), check you're playing standard games (not custom variants), ensure Developer Mode is enabled in Chrome extensions. 2) Needs Page Refresh: After installation, refresh all Stake tabs for script injection. 3) Wrong Domain: Ensure you're on supported domains (stake.com, stake.us, etc.). 4) Permissions Issue: Chrome Settings > Extensions > Stake Analyzer > Site Access = "On all sites". 5) Conflicting Extensions: Ad blockers, privacy tools, or VPNs may interfere - try disabling temporarily. 6) Storage Full: After ~1000 games, clear old data in extension settings.

Is using Stake Analyzer legal and allowed by Stake's terms?

Legal Status: Analyzer is legal where online gambling is permitted, as it only reads public data like manual note-taking. Stake's Position: While not explicitly prohibited, Stake bans "automated betting" and "exploitation" tools. Stake Analyzer does NOT automate bets, interact with betting functions, or modify the website - it only analyzes visible results. Compliance Guidelines: Use for personal analysis only, never with actual automation/bots, don't sell collected data, respect site rate limits, maintain reasonable usage patterns. Jurisdictional Concerns: Legality depends on your local gambling laws. Some regions restrict gambling-related software regardless of function. Best Practice: Full transparency recommended. You're tracking your own results for entertainment, similar to pen-and-paper records. Disclaimer: We're not affiliated with Stake. Users must ensure compliance with local laws and platform terms. When uncertain, contact Stake support to confirm analytical tools are acceptable. The extension is designed as an entertainment aid, not a professional gambling tool.

How Stake Analyzer Works Technically

Understanding our technical implementation helps you verify our privacy claims:

1. Content Script Injection

When you visit Stake, our extension injects a script that listens for game results from Stake's API responses. We only read the public game outcome data.

manifest.json → content_scripts → inject.js

2. Local Storage Only

All data is stored using Chrome's storage.local API. This data never leaves your device and cannot be accessed by any website or server.

chrome.storage.local.set({seedResults, kenoResults})

3. No External Connections

We have zero servers. No analytics, no telemetry, no API calls. You can verify this by checking our manifest permissions - we only request access to Stake domains and local storage.

Verify yourself: Check Chrome DevTools Network tab while using our extension - you'll see zero requests to any external servers.

Data Security & Storage Limits

Since all data is stored locally, security depends on your device's security:

Storage Capacity

Chrome limits local storage to ~10MB. We store the last 1,000 games by default. Older data is automatically pruned to maintain performance.

Access Control

Only the Stake Analyzer extension can access its stored data. Other extensions, websites, or applications cannot read this data.

Data Removal

Uninstalling the extension completely removes all stored data. You can also clear data anytime via the extension settings or Chrome's clear browsing data function.

Chrome Permissions Explained

Our extension requests minimal permissions. Here's exactly what each one does:

storage
