RickG when posters would post to the pick 3 and 4 boards for all states I was assuming that their numbers were somehow generated to reflect all the states and so it was almost a no brainier to pick and choose the number for your particular state.But when they started posting to the prediction boards in this manner it became harder to sort out which numbers were for which states because so many of them looked good for a particular state. I also realized it is easier to post to all states then jus... [ More ]

Four4me, you're right and that's why I stopped predicting for all states. The games and trends are individual to each game and I saw that my all-state predictions were not producing an an overall profit. So I'm concentrating on where I'm spending the bucks.......ILSal, you are right...I've won all my straights in real money with five or less picks. If you can't get it in ten you probably won't get it in twenty and if you're making a consistent profit with more picks, then more power to you... [ More ]

10 picks is enough if you can't get it right in 10 you don't need to try more .

Yes, 10 picks is reasonable it only takes one pick to win. With 10 picks you get a chance to cover your bases. I see people predicting the same numbers for every state. And with everybody predicting this way you'd think there would be more straight winners. 50 picks per person is a little to many. I don't see how posting the same numbers for every state is beneficial. When what works for one state might not work for another. I'd like to see more people post their predictions just for a particula... [ More ]

I voted for 10 picks because that is reasonable enough for the average player to actually play. Show me a player who plays 50 combos a draw and ends up making a profit and I'll be convinced. I'm not saying it is impossible, but I never saw it happen for two years at Maybell's where the predictions were unlimited and win ratios were tallied for each predictor. In fact the more picks, the lower the win ratio seemed to be the trend.

I would like only 5 picks maximum.We all looking for prediction.......how can you call choosing 50 numbers be a good prediction .If I was choosing 50 numbers , I would'nt even remember which number I had post to play. That cost too much also.Do you play all 50 numbers that you post.Right now I play 631 everyday until due to come . I do believe that number will come very very soon.......I spend between 1$ to 6$ on that number because I have a good feeling the number is coming for sure. That... [ More ]

You are looking at the possibility of millions in the jackpot games.

I would think 50 should me more than enough for most people around here who are actually picking their numbers and not just posting many many quick picks and may not be actually playing all those combinations.

maybe we can decide how many picks are ok as prediction check goes.Allow those post more who can post a jackpot and those who can beat the odds sometimes without losing any money

I have voted for 50 picks, because that is currently the maximum (with a Platinum membership).

demand for more picks or not?

desparado — Fri, 28 May 2004 00:40:45 GMT

Ok,Now if someone could beat the odds within certain amount of picks,we will decide exactly how many it is right for them
