Hello all...
So this is my question to all ...
If you were to know with no doubt let's say 55xx was going to come..No specific order...just box.
How would you pick the other 2 digits?
This is only for double (5523), pairs (1214) and triples (1151) ...No regular 1234....and no quads..Example only.....
Please express what you would do...Thanks

5500 5501 5502 5503........5599 ect would you not win $208 for 50 cents bet and only have played 50 dollars for all the 100 box tickets? I am not an expert but seems to be the case? any one agree or disagree?

Yes you could do a wheel but, that is very expensive.....50 bucks can go a long way or quickly ...
I would say maybe half of those picks would not be to bad...$25 bucks..
Let me add...a couple of things ...not many comments yet to work out anything..So thank you acestwo for help out...
If we knew 55 was coming out for a example then we koow a couple of things right off the gecko..
First no quads so that gets rid of the 5. Next we look at postion status for 5 maybe use the coldes out x postion..Then we would have x55x If we can play pick 3 and guess at that game ...why do we have such a hard time picking that 3rd digit????
I don't know if any states offer a S/B/F pair like the play 3 so I can't say we can base are game off of this...We do it with the pick3 all the time we pick 2 out of 3 and usually 1 digit off...but , it seems harder the minute you use pick 4 to a person.
So wheeling is a possable but, I'm trying to get a idea of how to get actually to the 3rd digit and then maybe roll the 4th..Time period how long you have to play can add up quickly even with a 208 pay out.
Sorry for the rant...working hard on finishing this excel formula and need some insight from the great people here on LP.

You posted your question about an hour before this response right here. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't spend all day actually paying attention to LP... I usually leave a browser window open to the results and walk away. (For anyone interested, I've been elbow-deep in cookie dough all day)
I approach the P4 looking for patterns and repeats (how I play both games, actually). I don't spend a lot of time doing elaborate calculations. I find a triad I like (just like a double or pair) and play 0-9 with it.
If you can find a calculated pair that hits consistently, I can probably find a decent triad to go with it. But obviously, it's not perfect...

I dont play pick 4 very seldom but I have brought straights in pick 4 up in calculator workouts in tests ( not that they would give them to a person if they played them ( not in Ky. anyway ....not in state )
I would use a good pair system " with" the known first pair 55 or whichever pair I was pretty well sure of
If I knew 55 ( or any pair ) was coming ....... I would use it with a good pair system ( and then merge them as I always say )
Maybe even use the known pair I had at the time ...... with the pairs from the last two former draws ( or with a Hot pair that had been hitting in the past a lot )
Many use cold stuff in the game and that can be good .......especially in single digits........but cold pairs can stay out a long time ............so I feel Hot pairs are many times the way to go
And I also would consider the triads approach also
I used to play both games when I first entered the game years ago ( back in the good ole days ....when the games were more on the up and up ) , but I found after awhile that my predicting % dropped , as I couldnt seem to do as good when I was working both games at the same time
