Whoops!
mistook your explantion for part of your question <face red. Have to
confess I didn't read the original post so thought it was all a quote.

Tom,
You could repeat this pattern a total
of 6 times until you ran out of numbers.
I think we're in agreement:
Those 'gaps' can only be produced by 6 different combinations:
01 08 15 24 37 44
02 09 16 25 38 45
03 10 17 26 39 46
04 11 18 27 40 47
05 12 19 28 41 48
06 13 20 29 42 49
But I have no idea how the OP got 925,365 combinations:
Gaps 06 06 08 12 06 = x combinations ( x could be 925,365 combinations
with the exact same Gaps between the balls 1-2, 2-3 ,3-4 ,4-5 & 5-6 )
