Good advice folks, in the end that's all we can do.

Flat Creek Kid, I can understand. It is so upsetting (and frustrating).

As much as this time sucks the worst still is ab0ut a year ago, before I got off work I wrote the numbers 6712 on my hand (had seen it in a phone or ticket number there at work). of course I forgot to stop in the store down the street and play the numbers.

In playing Pick 4 (or pick 3) and you mean to get some numbers or you intend to but just dont have the time or it slips away, then those numbers end up hitting, how do you handle the loss
