Original Blog Entry: Update to Hitting Pick 3 Straight

mej023 — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:38:51 GMT

I hope I am getting a handle on this! Yesterday's (7/27/09) Indiana Midday draw was 495.

I wheeled position A for numbers greater than 4, B for numbers less than 9 and position C for numbers less than 5.

Today's draw was 373 - which wasn't in the mix I wheeled.

New Rule: If a draw starts with a 4 or 5 then do not play that day.

In looking at the past draws for IN midday, I noticed the middle numbers repeat pretty often. So I am going to run stats to see if I need to alter the rules a bit.

For example, one of the rules is that if the number is 0 to 3 then the next number will be higher. So for today's draw (373) that means for position A, I would wheel 4 to 9. The stats may point out that the numbers may repeat on top of themselves quite frequently and if that's the case then I need to wheel 3 to 9.

Or in other words, include the number of the last draw.

It will mean more numbers but will cover those repeats.

Rule 1

If a previous draw has number 0 to 3 then there is generally, a 70% plus chance of the next number in the same position being a higher number.

Rule 2

If a previous draw has number 6 to 9 then there is generally, a 70% plus chance of the next number in the same position being a lower number.

Rule 3

If a previous draw has number 4 or 5 then there is generally, a 50% chance that the next number will be lower or higher.

Rule 4

If a previous draw starts with a 4 or 5 then do not play that day.

After I run these stats, those rules may be modified slightly.

OK - I have the Midday stats run.

One of the things that it shows is that there are a percentage of repeat numbers. So for example if the first number is a 3 and the stats show that the next number will be higher 67% of the time and a repeat 7% of the time and lower 26% of the time then you just look at the last 4 or 5 instances of that number to see what happened and then play accordingly.

For instance, if the past 4 draws of the number 3 show the next number was higher in each instance then you know that the odds are that the current 3 will be followed by a number lower or be the same number.

If you do this for each column then it will really help improve the odds of picking the correct group of numbers to wheel positionally.
