Okay, all you paper and pencil fans, get your tablets out because you have some homework to do!
For those of you who may have been watching my pick 5 strings, I decided to try them out for the pick 3 and they show some promising results! I'm giving my buddy Kola some credit here because he's the one who put "pick 3" and "strings" in the same sentence once that got me to thinking, so, thank you, Kola!
I will use last Wed's pick 3 drawing for CALIF. for this example:
It was 935.
Now we're going to make some strings!
Start with the 9 and write out the following numbers in order after it until you hit the 9. Do this with each number so that it will look like this:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3
6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
Now comes your homework. There are many patterns here but the trick is to stick with one of them to keep the cost down. Let's shoot out the next few drawings so I can show you what to look for.
948 (no hit there)
501--------------------- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 straight here
6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
This is what I call the "diamond pattern" because it can go either way. It could have just as easily been
581 if you had gone one over backwards. To have achieved this you probably would want to start with the 0 and played 056 and continued all down the line. $10 worth. Not bad for a straight.
983------------------ 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3
6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
Again, we have a diamond pattern though this one resulted in a box hit.
604---------------- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3
6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
Another box hit. Straight up and down. This will happen often.
360---------------- 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3
6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
Another box. This is what I call the "2 Down Over", hence you go 2 numbers down and one over. There is also the "1 Down Over" where you would just take the 6 and play 613 instead. Look for both of these.
You can use the same strings for about 10 to 15 days and they will still produce hits I've found. Write out the strings and see what you find. Try it a dozen times or so on past results. See what pattern shows itself more often and stick to that one.
If anyone is interested in more information, please let me know.
Thanks!!
