How to Pick Hot Pairs

Sandy,Yes I agree with you on combining the draws. I have experimented essentially the same way as you have...keeping the draws separate, combining them, using the pick 4 pairings too, etc. My best results came from using only pick 3 game and combining them.There is another way to do this and that is to log in ONLY front and back pairs in exact order. That is the way I started doing it, but after 100 draws I only had about 25 entries for my leading digit. That didn't satisfy my mode because... [ More ]

Thanks Rick......I am going to get started on a spreadsheet this afternoon.I mostly use the combined draws for everything.....just the pick3 then I have been fiddling with all the draws 3-4 combined).....but I have combining the pick3 draws for about a year now ever since Sedertree developed his program and used combined. I appreciate the input, Rick.Now does someone else have any ideas to help improve upon this?That's the idea...........to get other ideas and combine them.

For my IL friends, this is the current status of pairings on my sheet. The first digit is all the digits from 0 to 9, the second digit is the digit that has come in most often with it. They are listed in sequence from hot to cold.0 - 13 - 04 - 07 - 01 - 05 - 58 - 39 - 76 - 42 - 7As you can see, the 0 has been very active with 1,3,4 and 7.Hope this helps someone out there.

Sandy,I went back 100 draws and at that point I stopped where the leading digit came in...the next column was the mode (most frquently occurring number). The next time the leading digit came in I went back to the beginning and started replacing the old pairings with the new ones.It remains very consistent over time. As Larry said it does take patience because you are trapping , and you end up playing the same combos for weeks at a time. I've gotten two straights this month only playing 3... [ More ]

I thought there would be more interest also, Larry. For some reason people don't like to reveal how they are getting their pairs. They must be making some big bucks or they just don't want to improve their system. Why I post so much and ask so many questions, is that my ego isn't so big to realize that there are more ways to do things than just my way. I like to explore other people's thoughts and ideas, combine them with my own and kick back on here what I have found. Don't always find some... [ More ]

Thank you Rick. What size database should I go back to start the spreadsheet

Sandy,As I said in my previous post, I keep track of the pairings on a spreadsheet...I highlight the five most frequent digits in red and the five coldies in blue to give me a visual on what's hot and not. It sure doesn't work all the time, but you and all in this thread probably know how consistent the pairings are over a period of time.I'm also doing this with our 5/39 game, but it just started a few weeks ago and it will take some time to get the patterns.

Thomas,First of all, I do not get your newsletter. I used to but do not anymore.I like to pick 1 number from the previous draw and your concept does not include that although I used to get your data and I studied it and learned from it. I now combine the digits with the last draw numbers to come up with my combos.....I think that is where you could improve. You must consider the repeat digits....Now it is interesting that the others in this thread call the hot pairs not the overdue pairs bu... [ More ]

Now there is a concept! Funny before there was a Tom Cat I SWEAR the concept of hot pairs was non-existant. Now those who study my data research on Hot Pairs marvel at the frequency of wins.... THe problem for 99% of the people in 'Lotto Land' is keeping up with the data.... Beauty of ME! I do it for ya....

Well, there doesn't seem to be a lot of giving here.....lol..so I imagine there isn't alot of getting.........Come on you all. I know that you all have a pair system.......that is the way to win. Look at Woody's post in the lottery systems forum.....nice, nice, quick and easy. And he is sharing it. Any others?Last request, otherwise I am letting this thread drop.Thank you Rick.

Like you said Sandy, you get back what you give and if we can give something that helps someone out there it's all worth it. None of us has all the answers but as a group I think we can beat this game regardless of the house advantage of 50%. That's what this game is all about...winning.Thanks for starting the thread...I hope the folks are listening.

Thanks Rick and Larry and Jap, WinD.I can't believe so few people responded to this thread.Everyone in here must have their own method of picking a number and most of the time it involves a pair................Oh well.................just remember the old saying......... you get back what you give. You all have a good night

I agree with Jennilynn, following pairs can be very rewarding...and my hot pairs are the most frequent pair-makers with their respective most frequent pair-mate. Like Sandy, I have found that combining both draws is the way to go (but I don't include the pick-4's).I keep track of them on a spreadsheet...I think you almost have to. I started by going back 100 draws. That was my end spot for the lead number...then you go back and start replacing your old pairings with your new ones. I track... [ More ]

I separate my draws...for the most part...most of my predictions will be on IL. Eve. Data....for all States It will be on the Data from all of the States Evening Game.. I very seldom use the data from the early game..unless...it is a new routine involved..or If I see each game is focusing on one number..then I will combine.

LarryG,Do you separate the draws or use a combined Pick3 database?WinD,I use a combined Database for my pair picks; not so much for immediate but for the upcoming week. A friend of mine, fbird, likes to use the separate databases. I use the separate database for the upcoming draw keeping in mind the expected repeat from the previous draw. Sometimes, you have to wait forever for this to happen....he has been waiting for 27 in Michigan forever...........Using the combined database overdue pairs... [ More ]

Sandy... you might want to keep in mind the expected hit rate on a regular pair (the 45 non-double pairs) is5.4% or approx 19.71 times a year for a 365 draw game .......or once every 20 draws. If you include your Midday game and if it also has 365 draws a year (not 312 draws)..... the hit rate would be approx once every 10 draws.

When tackling the pick 3 game I believe breaking the game down into pairs is the best way to go. There are so many methods that can be used to arrive at a specific pair or pairs. To me a true hot pair is one that keeps repeating from week to week or even month to month. They are easy to spot, and once you find the trend, run with them. Often pairs will repeat in non-match combos and then double up. I used to play for the longest out pairs but found it to be more of a losing effort, why play what... [ More ]

In the last couple weeks I have been transferring my charts from a notepad to a spreadsheet and color coding the even and odd digits to see if color recognition will help in selecting plays. Looking for color by position to give me an idea of the hit and skip and what may be next on the even or odd. Got the idea of color from other

I use hot pairs to form my doubles...you have exposed one of my weakness...I guess I do track them when it come to locating them, I go back 30.- 50 draws and count reoccuring pairs. Sometimes since the lottery is dynamic forever changing...I will look at the last 3 or 4 draws..for the evening game or mid-day game and see how long a hot pair has not showed up. I use them strictly on gut feelings. I am sorry I cannot add anymore to this subject.If I used them today...I would post:454-400-000-500... [ More ]

Hello Sandy. I like to use the Peachtree Pairs here in Ga. that good oldgilla post each month. He separates the Midday and Evening draws and then post the Combined as well. As you can see each is followed by the last hit date for that particular pair. The first thing I do each month is separate the 10 double pairs from the normal 45 pairs. The doubles only hit at half the rate as normal pairs. I then take the top oldest normal pairs from the the 45 and list them and try to find common numbers... [ More ]

How to Pick Hot Pairs

Sandy K — Sun, 21 Mar 2004 14:42:42 GMT

Alice wrote a previous post that I responded to and it put a thought in my head about how others find the hot pairs .Hot pairs to me are the overdue pairs. But I use it on a combined mid eve database for Pick3..............then I combine everything....Pick3 Pick4, mid and eve and see what numbers are overdue for the complete Michigan all draws...How do all of you find your hot pairs ?Interesting subject to pursue so let's take this thread and run with it.....LarryG, Lucky, BobP, LibraDave,...
