Considering the odds if you had $40 bucks thats 80 chances at a 50 cent rate. Here you only win a 1.50 but even that is better than loss. Most average about thirty and when I see people buying the $10 and up scratch tickets, I wander how their brain must work! I just beleive if you take the 70% like one reply says assign a number to those nomatch combos, use your brains, that 60 block of decisions has to win more times than thirty or 15 ,as it seems , of your favorites. Try it, you have 11 col... [ More ]

With Boxing you are playing 3 or 6 straight combinations for 50c total instead of separate as in Wheel. Because you put either 1/3 or 1/6 of 50c depending on doubles or not doubles, that is your payout, 1/3 or 1/6 the STR payout. Obviously if it's non-double you cover 6 STRs thus the odds are 6/1000. You can't number all the BOX combinations and base the odds that way, because some of them would have to have higher weight . It's like saying you have 10 bowlers, the odds of any bowler getting...

Yes, there are 220 boxed combinations. Ten of those are triples. One hundred twenty of them are singles or nomatch (i.e. no repeating digit in them) and 90 of them are doubles (two repeating digits)

Singles are drawn approx 70% of the time and doubles approx 29% of them time. You'll find the majority of the people on LP here already know this...it's Pick 3 101 so to speak. If you chase doubles, you're a specialty player. Most people play the singles because they will hit more often.... [ More ]

What were the real world results when you tried it? Or is all this just fantasy talk? What could happen and what do happens are two different things.

Sorry I did rush my post. I 'm talking about assigning a line number to the 220 box combinations, 1-220, about half contain doubles and the triples. From the numbers drawn 2 digit numbers can be form giving you additional line numbers which you could discount. obviously you could also use the numbers drawn out of pk5 or 6. Combinations containing duplicate or triplicate numbers only account for 35% of the drawings. Betting on pk3 combos that have no duplicate numbers should raise the possibilty... [ More ]

You will have to explain more clearly. You say the number of combinatons that can be made from pk3 digits from the previous drawing is somewhere near 25? Actually, the number of pk3 combinations (permutations or perms) that can be made from the previous drawing is 6 if the draw was not a double. It is 3 if it was a double.

And the same three digits seldom show up two draws in a row.

Out of 220 box chances to win, you actually average about 110!!? Then subtract your favorite combinations, i.e. the number of 2 digit numbers that can be made of pk3 and pk4 numbers from the previous drawing, somewhere near 25. Making your chances of winning the box pk3 combination 1 in 75!!? More later on the 22x10 matrix tracking system
