Pick 3: too many box hits, not enough straights? Try this...

dr san, yes this method could probably be adapted to the pick 4. I don't play that game so I don't know if there is a similar 'shift' pattern. Keep in mind that it is four times harder to predict the sequence of a pick 4 game compared to a pick 3 game.

hello, ok, ricky, it is possible to make your system to pick4? Well, after I do the exchange, because It's the same standard that happens when a group splits, fanstastico.

dr san, I don't see how this would apply in the lotto because it doesn't matter what order the numbers are drawn. What you're describing is a whole different thing.

Hello, rickg, your idea can also be used in a lottery 49/6, divided into 4 groups One group will have 13 numbers, then sort the records in the past draws In three letter will have a corner = zero or a number represented by the symbol L The song or group that has two or more numbers (the largest group) repesentado by H And the two groups lies between the largest and smallest grpo will be with the letter M = LHM, then rickg, the inve s of digits in the lottery but pick3 49/6 we will use four group...

Zen, pardon my ignorance, but how do you play online from IL? I thought they quashed that in the states.

Bob, I agree with your strategy, but for non-online players on a limited budget every bet counts. More bets per combo means less combos to play on a fixed budget. I only alot a few bucks per day on the game and can't afford to combo bet. Now if we could play online with their cost/prize structure it would be a different story.

Zen, I haven't done a comprehensive test of this method with regard to draw-to-draw vs. game-to-game. My impression is that it works better going draw to draw...seems to tap into the cycle better. But I have seen it work both ways. I use similar K.I.S.S. methods.

Good luck on your path to riches...sounds like you have a good plan going.

Actually I meant to say: If you are getting the box hits without the straights, buy the number boxed three times for doubles or six times for all different or buy all the straight number variants three for double or six for all different. Buying box you win 480 buying straight you win 500 in most states better online.

Wheeling is for when you have four or more digits for Pick-3 you can't reduce to three. Based on Rick's premise of getting the box hits, say you are wheeling 5 digits into te... [ More ]

Hey Rick,

Thanks for the tip. I too live in Ill and play online. I will try your way, but I usually go mid to mid and eve to eve. I use a K.I.S.S. method. I use one number repeat, and filter e/o h/l sum and rt sum for my box play. Then for my st8 play I use your tool. However I just put the highest and lowest in middle and use it on line for st8 play. Then I compare on my Lottery Bible sheet by Dr PZH, little speedy numbers likely to fall, and lotsoft for overdue numbers.Works well but not ri... [ More ]

Good question. Don't confuse the digits as just being high or low. You're looking for the lowest digit, the highest digit and the digit in between them. For example 234 is all low digits, but the sequence is

lowest digit--middle digit--highest digit.

The only combos that don't have a highest or lowest digit are triples. In that case it doesn't work unless you're expecting back-to-back triples...

Thanks for asking that...it may have been confusing to others as well.... [ More ]

What if the drawing was L-L-L or H-H-H

Rick G — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:27:27 GMT

This method works well in IL. It works best when you go draw-to-draw. Example, last nights draw was 541 (H-M-L), today's midday was 395 (L-H-M). It happens frequently. I'd be very surprised if IL was the only game where this happens.

The thing is, wheeling the combo(s) costs more money. What I'm suggesting doesn't cost any extra.

My feeling is that you cannot make a long-term or sizeable profit in the Pick 3 game by box betting alone on a daily basis. Others may disagree but I just haven't seen it in 15 years of observation. I think the best bet strategy is straight/box with an emphasis on getting it straight as often as possible. The box wins will only help cover your bets.

It not a system per se. Its a fundamental tool to use in any system, and for any state...

wouldnt you be better off just wheeling them instead? You spend the same and get the few extra dollars for a straight hit? If I played online it would probably be worth it to play the combos all straight Ill have to look into it.

Hello, Rick, as you might join your system with these groups to find 12 pairs Changing position, these 12 groups, has no zero, but has a good use To choose pairs in three positions, If you could create a system with these 12 pairs, since dam in 100% of the draws= 267 348 159 157 168 249 147 258 369 123 456 789

I would say that a large majority of concepts that are seemingly new to us are actually not new and have been used in some fashion in the past. Especially if they're simple concepts.

If you are getting the box hits without the straights, try buying the three (doubles) or six (all different) variants of the box bet to have three or six winning box tickets that cost a little bit more, but almost equal the straight prize. 3 x 160 = 480, 6 x 80 = 480

It sounds like you've checked this out Kola. This is a simple system to backtest. How did it do over the last year in your state

This concept was introduced years back from the 90's by a guy who published a system which I still have called Show Me The Money! .

My bad...in my original post the bottom three lines:

[For the very next draw use whatever came in third position (in this case 'high') and put in the first position.

Shift whatever came in first position]

should have been edited out. Please ignore. Hope that didn't confuse anyone.

Rick G — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:05:33 GMT

This is for Pick 3 players who often choose the right numbers but not the right sequence.

Let's say today's midday result was 3-7-4 (the Lowest digit was in first position, the Highest digit was second position and the 'Middle' digit was in third position... L-H-M for short).

For today's evening draw sequence, use whatever came in third position (M) and put it in first position.

Shift whatever came in positions one and two (L - H) to positions two and three respectively.

So the new s... [ More ]
