Break it down even further

H 7,8,9

M 3,4,5,6,

L 0,1,2,

Once you get use to working this way it is nice

I know you couldn't play all of one set. Like putting all your eggs in one basket.

There are many breakdowns to use as tools. Keeping track of the most recent activity

seems the better way to go rather than looking back at a particular month for numbers.

Expect the unexpected. Patterns will always change.

Mister xxx welcome to lotterypost.

This was never a suggestion to play all of any one group. I am always looking for methods of eliminating #'s to arrive at 1 or 2 to actually play. about 99.5% of the time I am wrong. the idea here was once I come up with the four digits to play, which order do I want to play them. knowing which pattern is hot, or way overdue, is just another tool.

Yes.

Even at .50 each straight that would cost you $312.50 per draw if you were to play all of only

one pattern out of 16. You would have to be very lucky to pick the right one for that particular draw,

also bear in mind the most popular ones could be sold out.

After examining these patterns for very long periods (years) I've observed that they don't follow

any particular time sequence because of the constant variance caused by the

randomness system. These lottery people do the... [ More ]

thanks Raven.. Ky MID has not had a HLHL for 78 days now. we are a bit overdue for a midday double double so 7070 is looking good to me.

There are 5 high digits and 5 low digits so in any way you arrange them it should be (5)X(5)X(5)X(5) or 625 possibilities.

Using the digit 9 as highest, HHLL would be (56789) with (56789) with (01234) with (01234) or 625 possibilities. There are 16 different straight combinations each with 625 possibilities using high and low digits (even/odd too).

Boxing them:

HHHH - 70 possibilities *

HHHL - 175 possibilities

HHLL - 225 possibilities

HLLL - 175 possibilities

LLLL - 70 pos... [ More ]

thanks johnph77. I like to know the math behind the numbers. If I could impose just a little more, are the various straight combinations that make up HHHL ie HHLH or HLHH etc evenly distributed?

thanks

Of the 10,000 numerical possibilities in Pick 4:

HHHH - 625 possibilities

HHHL - 2,500 possibilities

HHLL - 3,750 possibilities

HLLL - 2,500 possibilities

LLLL - 625 possibilities

10,000 total.

Odd-even? Same thing.

RJOH and Destinycreation thanks. Destinycreation yes I was refering to straight combinations. I had noticed that the ky midday HLHL comb was out 62 games. this is an area that in the past I did not pay attention to. Thanks for your explaination. I'll take some time and study this more closely.

I guess you are talking about 16 combinations STRAIGHT for a Pick 4, because there are only 5 combinations BOXED:

HHHH

HHHL

HHLL

HLLL

LLLL

I Track this pattern in several states for the Pick 4 and Pick 3. I have noticed that on a monthly basis, in all of the states that I track, (5 states), the HHHH and LLLL Hit the LEAST. When these patterns do Hit, they normally Hit as doubles or triples (AABC, or AAAB).

The HHLL pattern Hits most often on a monthly basis.

You are right, they all should have the same probability of being drawn, but if you want to know which ones came up most just separate them in to the 16 categories and check which category is the largest.

phileight — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:41:07 GMT

when a pick 4 draw number is broken down into high low you can have 16 possible combinations of high or low ranging from all high to all low. my question, do all possible combinations have the same probability?

It would seem to me that they would, however my math skills in this area are lacking

thanks
