Other titles I considered:

A) Some bananas could be worth $25,000.

B) Banking on bananas

C) Going bananas

D) Banana Payday? Does the B in Bananas stand for Bank?

E) A $25,000 Banana?

F) A banana a day keeps the losing away

G) Are bananas the new prescription for winning?

H) Banana Bread (because bread is slang for money)

I'm not a pick 5er but I went for a banana yesterday and I noticed that they stick five number tags on them. So just for fun I went to look what number played in pick 5 yesterday and it was 94009 FB 1. My bananas were tagged with 94011. How crazy is that? Yes it's not the exact number but if you're a hard-core pick 5 player I'd imagine that you do variations of a base combination. Either one number ups and downs or two number ups and downs. So you can use your bananas as base numbers and just tweak the last two numbers.

So two numbers down from 11 is 9 but it's pick 5 so that translates to 09.

If your base bananas are 94011 then you play:

94011

94010

94009

94012

94013

$2.50 = 25K

Although there are different types of one or two number ups and downs.

With 94011 you can break down the 11 individually. The first 1 if you one number down it you get the 0 and with the second 1 you two number down it to get 9.

So if you are using a banana base of 94011 then you play:

94011

94000

94009

94090

94091

$2.50 = 25K

So however you decide to number up or down, experiment playing your bananas. Especially if other tactics have not been working for you.... [ More ]
