I remember the quip, "which came first,the chicken or the egg?" The way that this ponderance is viewed by me is SIMPLE-which ever one gets to my plate first is the meal.It all digests, it all goes down the same way and sometimes it comes out a little differently but in the same place. Doesn't matter if you are picky about some eatibles or make hash>>>the end results are what count! Think about it and exercise the thinking tool a bit...apply this train of conclusions to the pick 3 game. You can't have "the chicken or the egg" if you don't do some preparations first! Yes, quick picks are easier and less time consuming but to pay a thousand dollars to win five hundred dollars (your take)for a thousand combinations(that's how many in pick 3) is coming up a bit $hort, wouldn't you say? Constructive thinking or progressive protracting if you will, causes enlightenment and not in the pick 3 game alone! Stimulation is another key word that is necessary to win any game of chance!(Here Self wants more input)Ok, the physical part can be a massage or hot shower,getting away from the numbers,etc...the mental stimula is actually and actively looking for a different way to do a thing with like results or as in pick 3 close enough to lay a trap that will garner positive results...getting into a rut is hard to notice but not too difficult to get out of once that you know about it. Some gamblers will never see the rut because they seek daylight in the late evening.
