The "tags" in the above post referred to licence tag numbers that you see on the back of cars on the highway. Sorry for the confusion.

what is the tag and how do you tag a number

Original Blog Entry: Pick 4 "Double Double" coming to the Carolinas? That's what the tags say...

I sometimes take my cue from the road.

If I see a lot of double doubles on tags, or triples in the Pick 4 on tags, it generally indicates that we will see such a combination in the Carolinas.

Today I saw a few double doubles, 9911-1188, etc. But who knows.

There are only 100 double doubles --minus the ten that become quads--so maybe only 90, but these are such illusive creatures. I know which ones are supposed to show from the calendar cause I put together a list of about 8 of them that will show over and over in 2013. These were extracted directly from the yearly calendar collection so no hard work there if you are playing all-states.

Lately I've been having some success in identifying combinations that trigger double doubles, but they don't always do it, so consistency is a problem. Sometimes these combinations will trigger a triple in the Pick 4 and sometimes a double double . My theory is that if the trigger has a non-resistent digit in the combination, that a double double is likely, but if the fourth digit is resistent , it will trigger a triple in the Pick 4 . So more testing is needed.

Still I find double doubles to be fascinating combinations so I know they have to have triggers, but they show so infrequently, I wonder if it's worth trying to find a trigger rather than just playing those that have already shown themselves on the yearly calendar.

Things that make you go ummm?
