2. ⚖️ Balanced Hot/Cold Mix
3. 🔗 Common Pair Combinations
4. 📊 Spread Strategy
5. 🎲 Random Lucky Numbers

How It Works

1. Navigates to each page on https://baloto.com/resultados?page=X
2. Locates the table with id="results-table"
3. Extracts all <tr> elements from the table
4. For each row, finds the <td> that contains the lottery numbers (the one with span.balota-red-results)
5. Extracts the complete text which includes both the main numbers and the red balota number
6. The result format is: "03 - 11 - 24 - 34 - 35 - 10"
7. Displays progress after each page
8. Saves all results to baloto_results.txt

Output

The script will:

• Display real-time progress in the console
• Show collected results after each page
• Save all results to baloto_results.txt when complete

Notes

• The script uses headless=False by default so you can see the browser in action. Change to headless=True in the code for background execution.
• A 1-second delay is added between pages to be respectful to the server.
• The script handles errors gracefully and continues to the next page if one fails.
