hey guys thank you very much, and sfillipo is right, if you were to increase the range from 0-14 and not from 0-9 there will still be 6 ways one can box the 3 numbers.....thank you guys....guys no i am not with the state lottery (I had to laugh at your comments about it though:) )...guys i agree to with you all, there are still very few people winning anyways....guys i believe that the lottery corporation will change the range and add more numbers if the number of players playing pick 3 were to

I don't bother with trying to predict skips or with predicting anything else, my methods are always reduction systems, you might call it reverse or negative predicting.

cps10 That is very good, I might take you up on that in the future sometime, I will try to learn spreadsheet use soon sometime this year as soon as possible. It might be easier than learning programming.

I am already getting study materials ready.

But will also try to learn basic, quickbasic and maybe old Visual Basic 3 or 6, as now there are Windows programs in which they can be used more or less and also DOS programs of course.

I can help a little with spreadsheets...not a whole lot, but a little.

Maybe LottoMike might not have too much trouble winning even then.

I need to learn programming, at least some anyway. At least spreadsheet use and or programming.

Progressive betting would work, however, with the odds that much higher, you will need to rely on larger skip values in your filters in order to parce out the right selection at the right time.

It may be called a hexidecimal in mathematics but it doesnt exist in lottery pick 3's.

The state lottery pick 3 is nothing but an exact copy of an old ghetto game called policy . Policy was a 5 cents bet at first (and millions were made a bucket of nickels at a time, so much so that The Outfit - ahem! - took it over).

After The Outfit took over it bacame a $1 bet to win $500 ( $450 if the middle digit was 1 - who's going to question Guido and who is going to go to the cops complaini... [ More ]

While progressive betting probably does work, you might need to be loaded with money to use that technique and it might also be very risky, you also need to be able to win sooner or latter otherwise you would be in very big trouble.

We really need to get much better filters programs from Harmen and Paurths so we can have a much better chance of winning, if the games are REMADE then we will need brand new lottery programs as the old ones won't work no more.

Learning programming and or at least Excel is almost a most now-days for many lottery players.

Somebody should teach lottery programming and or Excel for lottery programming.

If they are only paying $500 for Pick 3 NOBODY will play that. Guaran-dam-teed.

I didn't think pick 3 or pick 4 uses any number higher than 9.

Always thought it had to be from 0-9.

guy this is what i mean for example, look at the number 529 in pick3....it has 6 ways i can be box/play out...e.g 529, 592, 952, 925, 259, 295 how many boxed ways a pick3 game that has a range from 0-14 instead of 0-9 would have..or any range...I am trying to find a formula or a book or website that could teach me how to figure out the ways a particular combination can be box whether is pick3 or pick4....

Pac, I have no idea how you would use it. I don't know of a lottery that uses 16 numbers per position.

Hex is a numbering system that is used in computers.

Cool, so how would I utilize that info

CalifDude — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:07:02 GMT

If the digits can repeat, then it is very very simple. Much more so than if they can not.

A pick 3 using 0-15 would be 16 different numbers. So, each position could have 16 numbers...

16 X 16 X 16 = 4096 combinations

CalifDude — Tue, 11 Apr 2006 07:04:08 GMT

It is called hexidecimal.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F

F in Hex = 15 in decimal

instead of 0-9 you would have it from 0-15 or whatever number you desire....or what if you had pick4 but you increase the range so that i will be instead of from 0-9 you will have from 0-14....i can find out how many total combination the game will have if you increase the range but i can't find how many ways each combination of numbers can be boxed/arranged of a particular game range....
