Buddy, you have the right ideas here, and, could cover lots of ground if you'd change your thoughts about spending that $80. If you had the power, you'd probably have me committed for spending $300 back in the day for str8 hits... Yep, you read that right.

Do you have her software also or just the book? Have you checked Gail's site for any free pick 4 wheels she may have?

If you have time take a gander at the Brainstorming thread on the Systems fourm. We would welcome any input you may have reguarding your success. We would also welcome any pointers you would be willing to share.

As for the TX Two Step, I have Gail's Wheel Four Plus program and I use that when I am wheeling any numbers for the TX Two Step. My goal is to master my ability to... [ More ]

The problem with these wheels is that you either gear it to maximum coverage to increase the probability of a hit or you try to get enough overlap for multiple prizes. If going for the maximum coverage which makes sense as it's already so hard to win, the tickets are exclusive, if one wins something, the others will definitely not win so it's difficult to make your money back to any degree. The goal is to lose as little as possible while playing a good spread while you wait for a big hit but wit... [ More ]

Thank you. That makes some sense. I was surprised that there were not any published wheels like there are for the 5/37 game. I use heuristics to sort numbers for different scenarios and then use the same wheels to generate picks based on those sortings. Gail Howard's book for 5/3x games works well, while her wheels for Mega Millions, Powerball, and Lotto Texas don't work so well. For my Texas Two Step program (4/35 + bonus ball), I had to make up several wheels (without any particular system) an... [ More ]

I did a wheel which covered three number combinations, i.e.: the line 1 2 3 4 covers the three number combinations of 1 2 3, 1 2 4, 1 3 4, and 2 3 4. Of course you can't cover every possible three number combinations without overlap but I was looking for how many lines could be played before there was overlap as that would be the sweet spot between the probability of winning a prize and the number of chances per dollar spent, after that point each line played would represent diminishing returns....

i to prefer a Pick4/35 + Pick1/32 over any pick5 is a lot better...I dont know why state set a 2 step kind of game and next to it is a pick5 on the same state....The way i see it is that there is a great abyss between Pick4 (regular pick4) and pick5....There is no game in between pick4 (regular pick4) and pick5...Something that will pay: $15,000, or $20,000 or $30,000 or even: $40,000....You know: unfortunately they take taxes, but $40,000 is: 70% sometimes, 85% of the price of certain homes in

You might try wheels that play numbers in blocks of 2.

For ex: 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8.

1-2-3-4

1-2-5-6

1-2-7-8

3-4-5-6

3-4-7-8

5-6-7-8

The only problem with a wheel like this is that it's quite possible to only have 2 winning numbers on a line without the bonus ball. Unfortunately, 2 numbers without the bonus ball wins nothing. You must have 3 out of 4 or have the right bonus ball number to win.

At any rate, I like 2 Step. I win more on this game than any other. Good luck.... [ More ]

I have had success with Gail Howard's five number wheels in Texas Cash Five. I am looking for four number wheels suitable for Texas Two Step. The four number wheel here at Lottery Post seems to be for a different sort of game (four numbers in the range of 1 to 9). Would anyone have a suggestion for Texas Two Step-compatible wheels? Games with a smaller number of numbers seem to be easier to win.
