tntea8 numbers is good. I never look at post who has too many numbers.If you need to put all combinations , than you have no idea whats coming next .I rarely play more than 4 set of numbers. Thank you tntea, keep it to 8 numbers. Give us the prediction for Florida.I like 954 our area code for tonite and the end of this month. But i do like the number 102 and 112 i see it everyday, its my work number and i think that is due in Florida.FloridaGirl

There is only one winning combination per game. Every other combination you play in that game is a loser. Losses have to be made up with wins.4-10 plays per game seems to be a range where profit can be made. Playing more than 10 picks per game requires consistent winning to offset the losses.

that is fantastic... My straights are pure luck.. or I make them happen by playing combos..If I only feel good about 3 or 4 numbers.. I spend the extra to play them st..Hubby does better at the st thing.. He cannot explain it though.. He calls it his thicket method.

I have a new strategy that I'm working on that will give me 2 straight combinations too play.

Yes I agree, it can be lots of hours of work. I finally found a way for it to be a great pay off without having to play so many numbers. At one time, I was shooting at all states, playing too many numbers and missing the majority, and not making a profit.Hubby didn't like that method of playing at all. What was the point? I just wanted to win..lolNow using the double warning.. and looking to see what was drawn the month before, has helped a great deal. The research method works great with sta... [ More ]

Tntea...I totally agree with you....I rarely look at predictors that have over 10 numbers listed..sometimes some have 12 or so and I will look...but when it gets to 20-50 numbers...well my thought there is the same as yours....thats not that good of odds. I try to find a common number or pair for the state in which I am playing....It would be great to see all predictors scale down to 10 each,but I understand there are many ways to pick a winner so most like to pick many numbers and then compare...

Tntea , I play about 5 sets of numbers a draw . Costs me 5 bucks. I go through a list of anywhere from 10 to 40 sets of numbers. I try to post 20 or less . After I have a list of numbers and post them , I go through them and eliminate some to give me the 5 picks I will play. I look for numbers that will have 1 that will be a repeat from the prior draw if the past weeks numbers show that is happening . I also use the longest numbers out at times. I check past years history and see what followed t... [ More ]

Sounds like some good, creative use of various predictions here. That's just what I'm trying to say above: there are an infinte number of ways to use all the numbers posted here. It's up to each person to try to creatively figure out what is their best approach. Sometimes through trial error.

It doesn't sound like you understood what I said. I never said to play a lot of numbers. I did not suggest any number of picks to play. I described a technique of using people's predictions to narrow down your own selections.To suggest that someone who posts 20 numbers (for example) expects anyone to play all 20 numbers is misleading, and I am desperately trying to get that across.

I have narrowed my list of numbers down to no more then 5 Cash 3 and 2 Cash 4 numbers. Seems that since I started playing in this manner, I am still 1 digit off. I am spending less, yes, but at least I can say the result is pretty much the same. So I try to stick to a select few with an occasional doubling up on one or 2 sets from time to time.As far as filtering it down, I look at the sort method and the grid I produced plus the other work-outs the others have created (especially Destiny's). Th... [ More ]

If I have say, 12 numbers I will look to see if those predictors have those any of those 12 and if the majority of them do, I consider the number. I still have to limit the amount to 8 or less to make a nice profit.. If I didn't, I would go box all the time.

If you truly dont care to look at those predictions that have more than 10 listed , then you're missing the boat, IMHO.A lot of newbies tend to scoff at people who post more than 10 picks, but for a long-timer here, I'm surprised by your remark!Many people posting more than 10 picks do so to help you narrow down your own picks, not to tell you to play all of their numbers. Assuming that you've been able to narrow your list of numbers down to a reasonable size (say, under 50 picks), now if you... [ More ]

Too many numbers

tntea — Wed, 25 May 2005 16:40:22 GMT

What is the amount of numbers do you play for each state? I was told several times when I first started that I was covering too many numbers.. I have since cut back to less than 8 per state.. If I can not feel real good about 8.. I dont play..It feels better not getting a number in that was on a long list, than to find your number wasn't there after playing a long list. With all the many methods available out there, I dont see why anyone would play more than 8 per state... What are your opinions... [ More ]
