Yes, Califdude introduced me to this phenomenon a few months ago and it works brilliantly!
Usually, I deflate an entire year (last 365 draws) and then eliminate tiers depending upon when they showed last, if they are on a hot streak, etc. This has probably been THE BEST advice that I've received so far from anyone on this web site.
If you want more info, maybe Califdude can help you. He is the master at Deflate 3 tactics. Another one that he came up with was to take the numbers from the daily predictions page from whichever state, deflate those numbers and then use the numbers in either Tiers 3, 4 or 5. It works fairly well in states with plenty of "attention" so to say. I tired using it in MN for 2 weeks with very little luck (probably because MN is pretty hard to predict). On the other hand, other states give way better results using this method.
