My conclusion: stick to pick four as long as you can afford it.I used to be afraid of playing pick 4,I can honestly tell you that pick 4 is easier for me, its crazy but the more digits the numbr has the easier it is for me.Don't be to serious to play higher risk games if you can't afford it you need more money to risk more money.If you only play powerball or fantasy five ,you will impede chances of winning money quickly to play more.

Great, i'm glad for you good play. I'm trying to work with the predictions but somtimes they don't go through if they do only for a few days.Play 4 to me is easier if you are a good play three player try playing pick 4 on the side. I like pick 3, but for me its so much easier with pick 4. it has one extra digit that gives you that edge to win more money. I like play three when pairs are hitting.stick to your numbers especially pairs if they are good numbers, how do you know if they ar winning nu... [ More ]

I dont know which game is easier . I will say that the pick 4 is more profitable because doubles are likely to fall rather than singles and you know what that means. Double the money

The problem with eliminating 6 digits is that after eliminating 4, the risk becomes exponentially higher. My way is cut and dry. If a combo with repeat digits show such as 1929, then I skip that draw and wait for a combo with all different digits. Of course, with my test above, it doesn't gaurantee a win, but there's no guess work. Had I taken more risks by eliminating more than 4 digits, I might have not even won the two times from the test above. Elimination is good, but too much can also elim... [ More ]

Joker my idea is this if playing in all states you only play the 4 digit number that is left over after 6 digits are eliminated. Straight and boxed for a quarter/ whatever amount you can afford.

Someone with a software package could generate all the numbers in a few minutes. Others would have to do it on paper and pencil only takesa few minutes a state using Todd's daily numbers results.

Ok, I just did a test in Florida from Oct. 11 to Nov. 9... and here's my assessment.

I found that doing mid to eve to mid...etc.... didn't do as well as mid to mid, or eve to eve. Actually, I would've only had 2 wins in eve to eve. I realized that by playing only eve to eve when non repeating digits occurred would cost $264 to play all 6 numbers left. Meaning If 0-1-2-3-4-5 were to be played, and played straight.

With pick 3 if you eliminate the last 3 digits that were just drawn your left with 7 digits to chose from assuming that none of the previous digits will be drawn.

With pick 4 eliminating the last 4 digits that were just drawn leaves you with 6 digits to choose from for the next draw. Assuming that 4 previous digits won't be drawn in the next draw. Eliminate 2 more of previous digits that were just drawn your left with 4 digits to chose from..... the long shot number. Is now there. While... [ More ]

Can we say the question is which is easier to hit, something with 100:1 odds or something with 1,000:1 odds

P3 is probably easier, I played it heavy a few years ago, but now that Tx has Daily 4, I play it once or twice a week. What I like about it is that I'll drop $10 on a number straight, to try for $50k. (Yeah I've played and hit boxed, but that's boring). 10,000 to 1 odds to hit straight. Hard? Yes. But not as hard as hitting for $10k on MM or PB.

First, I assume you are NOT talking about any type of computerized lottery.

That having been said, statistically speaking, Pick 3 is easier because of the odds of 3 out of 10 numbers opposed to 4 out of 10 numbers.

With THAT said, I like Pick 4 better because I find there are more variables to chart and work with.

Finally, I mostly focus on the Cash 5 or Pick 6, but I like to study trends and patterns in the 3 and 4.

Oh, I did win the Pick 3 once, but not the usual way. For some rea... [ More ]

If you box a number with 3 different digits, you're playing six straight numbers at 1/6 of the $1 straight payoff. If a straight hit pays $600 and you have $1 box, you'll get $100.

A double number $1 box is 3 straight numbers getting 1/3 of the $1 straight payoff.

The California Daily 3 and Daily 4 games give the player the option of designating a Box or Straight winning combination. The Box option reduces the jackpot by half. I won a hundred bucks one time with a box option, but it's been a while since then.

In California, we have the Daily 3 and Daily 4 picks. I suppose the 3 picks are easier, but the jackpot is considerably less.

As for me the pick 3 is by far easier than the pick 4. However I have not devoted as much time to the pick 4.

Hits in the pick 3 are better than good when you track the digits 3, 6, 9.

I'm glad you mentioned luck. Luck is a factor, but some here on the LP can't tell the difference between luck and a mixture of luck and human involvement which may influence the outcome of the numbers. Fo some reason, that simple concept just can't get absorbed by their simpleton minded brain.

Pick 3 is much easier than all the other games that's why it pays less but is fun. Sometimes with Pick 3 - you feel like you know what you are doing.

Pick 4 is next a little bit better than Cash 5. If you get a hit on it, you feel like a Pro.

Mega Ball after Cash 5. One wild guess - no matter what technique you use.

Power Ball last has 59 numbers vs. 56. Guess, guess and more guessing. Just luck...

to me pick4 is easier than pick3 but only box, for pick3 JUMPS AND DODGES TO QUICK at the same time...

but straight pick3 is easier than pick4...Pick3 is not worth chasing for a box win...This is why Pick2 must not be a Pick2/0-9 but instead like a Pick2/0-6 again if you didnt spend time you will not know that...The state lottery will not know that...They dont USE SUPERCOMPUTERS to test their games......
