So, Today I will start looking at the pick 3 with the whole combo rather than by individual columns.

Pick 3 is easy to start with.

1. Count the most frequent number to have appeared straight.

2. Count all of the permutations of the combo fetched from step one, which would be box hits of that straight number.

3. Try it out on 0.50/0.50 tickets for maybe a month.

Different number combo expected from the day and night histories.

I can probably hammer that out in under an hour. There are at most 5 additional permutations to cover when looking at a pick 3 straight number comprised of all unique digits.

This balloons to 119 additional permutations if looking at a pick 5 number, so that will happen later.

The difference between the most frequent combo and the next most frequent combo will determine how frequently the process must be run again.

Next step, write a python program to search the database for the most frequent combo when all permutations are summed. This will obviously take longer, and will auto scale between pick 3 files and pick 5 files.

The only thing new will be testing the viability of box play. I can even create new CSV files to check combo followers distribution... nothing in the code base so far has been truly abandoned.
