It’s been another thrilling week of 49’s and we hope it’s certainly been a lucky one for you!

We’re in the middle of summer right now, so we thought it a good idea to talk to you about some things hot and some things cold. After all, the British weather is the greatest lottery of all!

In particular, we’re going to discuss hot and cold lottery numbers, including what they are, why people use them to pick their lotto numbers, if they’re actually a useful way to predict the next 49’s results and, indeed, what the latest Bet49’s hot and cold numbers are.

What Are Hot and Cold Numbers?

There are many different approaches when it comes to picking lottery numbers. The most popular way is to use your own "lucky" numbers, i.e. your favourite numbers, birthdays and the like.

However, some people like to try and apply a statistical approach to picking their lotto numbers. Monitoring "hot" and "cold" is one of the most popular strategies for doing so.

Now, a "hot number" is a number that has appeared frequently over a certain period of time. For example, if the number 7 has appeared in six of the last 10 draws, you would say it is a hot number. Whereas in number 12 hasn’t appeared at all in the last 10 draws, you would say it is a cold number.

So, which is better way to make your lotto predictions? Hot or cold numbers?

Well, the outcome of every lottery draw is completely independent, so there is no statistics that show whether one or the other is better.

Some people believe hot numbers are best, as they are kind of in form – a bit like betting on a football team that is on a good run.

On the opposite side of the coin, some people believe cold numbers are better to pick as they are "due" to come up. This is akin to betting on an out of form football team that you believe simply have to get back to winning ways at some point.

So, what are the hottest and coldest 49’s numbers from the results of the past 28 days? Let’s take a look...

49’s Hot Numbers

The three numbers that have appeared most in the last 28 days are: 41 (appeared 13 times), 10 (also appeared 13 times) and 20 (appeared 14 times, making it the hottest number right now).

What’s more, if you fancy all three of the hottest numbers to appear, you can get enormous odds of 700/1* for betting on all three at Betfred.

49’s Cold Numbers

At the other end of the scale, numbers 2, 44 and 25 are so cold right now, they look like they be part of the Arctic Circle. Each number has appeared a measly four times in the past 28 days.

Again, a bet on the three coldest 49's numbers will score you huge odds of 700/1* at Betfred.
