System or Strategy
Published:
Saw where someone suggested people predicting be required to show the system they are using for their predictions. My first thoughts were they don’t understand predictions, the difference between a system and playing strategy, or both.
Many of the daily number games predictors use the same group of combos in every jurisdiction. Don’t see any reason to know how they arrived at those combos when some groups never change for months. Doesn’t qualify as a playing strategy when only a handful of numbers game players show a profit; 11 in the last 30 days and 10 lifetime.
The obvious difference between predicting in the forums and on the prediction board is the latter records the results. And some people just don't want anyone to see their predicting results.
IMO, a system is how you decided which number(s) to play and a strategy is how you play them. Many systems are simple digit and/or number generators some using past drawings for seeds. Using plus 1, minus 1, and same means the digits 1, 2, and 3 will always follow the digit 2. Saw one system adding plus and minus 2 and then doing the same with the vtrac digit. They finally figured out why they had 100% matches when the realized they were using all ten digits and creating all 1000 pick-3 combos.
Even using five digits in each digit position only gives a 12.5% chance of hitting and at $1 a ticket, a player is wagering $125 to win $375 on game paying $500 to $1.
Wheels are examples of playing strategies and some 2 if 5 wheels use all the numbers. The $2 a ticket PB and MM games can make playing those strategies very expensive. Some states offer “one off” number games that give 27 pick-3 plays and 81 pick-4 plays for a buck. The top prize is whatever the 50 cent straight prize pays and the other prizes use the same percentage base on the number of plays.
Just my 2 cents and see this for a better explanation.

I will play the favorite dollar/dollar the rest are 50 cents boxed.
Nothing fancy, but I have had the most success with this , I wouldn't call it a system but an informed guess.
I agree "The arguement that mant don't win" makes no sense but the prediction board statistics support the fact not very "many" players show a profit.
Oh and apparently you missed where I said "Many of the daily number games predictors use the same group of combos in every jurisdiction." The board doesn't show the useless statistics of how many predictions are the same in
Because you have so many systems, why not use and explain your best one and then predict on the Prediction Boards just like you suggested others should do.
