 'Key and offset' system for Pick 3/4

Difficulty level:  easy

Example:

Last draw  was         1-2-3
second draw back     4-4-5
third draw back         7-6-6

Working backwards in time, the very last digit drawn was 3; next-to-last digit drawn was 2; next back was 1; next back was 5; next was 4; next was 6. 

Note that repeat digits are ignored and they are listed in most-recent to least-recent sequence.

The sequence is:        3 - 2 - 1 - 5 - 4 - 6

The first 3 digits of the sequence ( 3 - 2 - 1 ) will be used as key digits.  Every combo will have at least one of those digits.

The last three digits of our sequence ( 5 - 4 - 6 ) will be 'offset' by subtracting 1 from each digit.

  5    4    6
 -1   -1   -1
  4    3    5

Combine 4, 3 and 5 into three pairs using the same sequence like so:   *43, *45, *35

Now put each of your key numbers (3, 2, 1) in the first position followed by your pairs.

3-4-3    3-4-5    3-3-5
2-4-3    2-4-5    2-3-5
1-4-3    1-4-5    1-3-5

---

Play pick 4 using the same system.  Instead of making pairs use all three offset digits for three combos.  For more plays, just add more digits to your original sequence.

Using the above sequence as an example your pick 4 combinations would be   

3-4-3-5
2-4-3-5
1-4-3-5

(side note: the other night I played pick 4 which I never do.  Using this system I played the first combo generated - 1425 - and the result was 1424.  I thought that was pretty cool.)
 

----

I like the combos it comes up with and oftentimes they are very close.  See how it works for you in your drawings before wagering.

I keep midday and evening draws seperate but it can be played draw-to-draw as long as the most-recent to least-recent sequencing is used.  I play them straight/box.

Have fun with it and good luck!

hi rick could u show me how to do this with   florida  pick 4 i need sum help

rocks242,

I'm only providing the fishing pole.  It's up to the reader to catch his own fish.

Follow the example and instructions step by step.  I've tried to make it simple to follow.

I have a question.

Last draw  was         1-2-3

second draw back     4-4-5

 third draw back       7-6-6

I'm assuming you didn't include the 7 because once we get 6 numbers we stop and only use those 6 numbers? I ask this because you said you don't use repeat numbers, but 7 is there only one time.

just read my blog

That's correct.  The 7 would be the next number in the sequence and would only be used if the player wanted to play more than nine combos.

I don't know anything about the system you refer to on your blog.  This is something I came up with on my own.  Are there similarities?

The difference is mine was free.

rick...suppose you have 032 and "offset" by subtracting 1 from each digit..what digit would 0-1 be??

0-1 = 9?

maybe

Yes that's correct.  Thanks for fielding that question somer.

Hello Rick

How are you? I am confused when you say draw. Is draw is the Pick 3 that come out for the Midday or Evening? Could you give an example? Thank you!

I'll have some fun backtesting this, thanks Rick

draw = drawing

Keep it simple...no need to combine midday and evening drawing results.

For example, if you want to play IL Evening game go to LP results page for IL evening drawing and click on past results for that game.  Work your way backwards through the drawings starting from the last digit of the last drawing to find the last six unique digits that played in that game.

Hello I understand how you got 321, you used 546, shouldn't it be 544 since it was the second draw. Could clarify that for me. Thank you!
