Do You Know About 0-3-6-9?

Do you know about 0-3-6-9 in Pick 3? You should. The 4 digits can be used by them self as a single, 0xx, 3xx, 6xx, 9xx. As a pair 03x, 06x, 09x, 36x, 39x, 69x. Or not at all xxx. X= 1,2,4,5,7,8.  Now if you pick one of the digits 0-3-6-9 as a single the other 2 digits are 12,14,15,17,18, 24, 25, 27, 28, 45, 47, 48, 57, 58, 78. That's 15 combos max to play for a box hit! If you play them as a pair the 3rd digit is 1,2,4,5,7,8. That's 6 combos for a box hit.  How to play. If you think an 0-3-6-9 will repeat, just add the 15 pairs to it. If you think an 8 will repeat, play the pairs with an 8, 18-28-48-58-78. Then add 0-3-6-9 as the 3rd digit. If you think a 5 will repeat, play the pairs with a 5, 15-25-45-57-58, then add 0-3-6-9 as the 3rd digit for 20 combos max, and so on with all the X digits. The amount of combos can be reduced with consecutive pairs or not, mirror pairs or not, all even/all odd, series, etc. You do not have to play all the pairs. Do what you can afford.

You can also do this with the Pick 4.

If you use 0-3-6-9 as a single, your triads would be, 124-125-127-128-145-147-148-157-158-178-245-247-248-257-258-278-457-458-478-578 Total 20. If you use 0-3-6-9 as a pair, then the other 2 digits would be, 12-14-15-17-18-24-25-27-28-45-47-48-57-58-78. Total 15 pairs, same as with the Pick 3.

For Pick 4 doubles, if you think 00-33-66-99 will be the dbl, just add one or more of the 15 pairs.

If you think the dbl will be 11-22-44-55-77-88 you have 3 choices for the other pair. 1) Make a pair by combining one of 0-3-6-9 with 1-2-4-5-7-8. Add this pair to the dbl. Five combos to play. 2) Use  one or more of the 03-06-09-36-39-69 pairs. 3) If you don't think a 0-3-6-9 will hit. Use the 15 pairs. When using the 15 pairs eliminate the pairs with the dbl #. Ie, if playing the dbl 22 eliminate the pairs containing a 2. Ten pairs to play. 

The amount of combos can be reduced with consecutive pairs or not, mirror pairs or not, all even/all odd, series, etc. You do not have to play all the pairs or triads. Do what you can afford.  Good Luck!!!

Best Mirror Pair Combos, Pick 4

05 0157-0135-0158/ 0579-0359-0259/ 0245-0458-0457/ 0568-0256-0356

16 0146-0168-0136/ 1246-1268-1269/ 1569-1356-1568/ 1679-1367-1467

27 1279-1257-1247/ 2379-2357-0237/ 2467-0267-2679/ 2478-0278-2578   

38 2368-0238-2358/ 3468-0348-1348/ 1378-3578-0378/ 1389-3589-3689

49 3479-1349-3469/ 1459-4579-2459/ 2489-4689-1489/ 0469-0249-0479

Each set of 3 combos has one number that is consecutive to one of the digits in the mirror pair for that line. The first 2 sets are consecutive to the first digit of the MPr, the second 2 sets are consecutive to the second digit of the MPr.  Each CPr also appears with 2 different MPrs. Example, the 23 appears with the 27 & 38 MPrs, the 45 appears with the 05 & 49 MPrs.

Just to make it easy, the triads of the MPr with one consecutive digit are:

015-045-056-059/ 016-126-156-167/ 127-237-267-278/ 238-348-378-389/ 049-349-459-489

Playing suggestions: Play an entire line, 12 combos. Play one CPr with one MPr, 3 combos. Play one CPr with 2 MPrs, 6 combos. Play 2 CPrs with one MPr, 6 combos. Or you can play all 60, it all depends on how few or how many you want to play. Also, you might want to keep track of when MPrs are hitting so you're not playing them when they are cold.

Good Luck!!!
