Orangeman makes some very good points, especially those concerning the protection of intellectual property. As a technical writer, I certainly agree that the original author deserves to be paid for his work, but I am guilty of sharing lottery systems with a few close friends in the past. Up until a few minutes ago, I didn't really feel that badly about it. Thanks for the guilt trip, Orangeman; my mother would be proud of you, as I have no defense.
Without question, the best product Steve Player offers is his PrimeLine system for Pick-3 and Pick-4. However, his MoneyMap charts for the same games can also be very effective, but you have to know how to look at them.
If you enter your draw history accurately, keep it updated daily and have the patience to wait a few weeks before actually placing a bet, you'll eventually notice some significant gaps in the pairs and positional charts. When these opportunities present themselves, it can make for a very handsome payday - $6,800 in my own case (using the Pick-4 MoneyMap).
The secret, if one exists, is patience. Steve Player's systems generally don't work "out-of-the-box;" I've always found it helpful to augment his concepts with additional charts and graphs. For example, when using his MoneyMap or PrimeLine systems, I add two charts of my own design: Overall Hits by Digit, Overall Hits by Position, and also a basic frequency chart. All of this information is contained in the system, of course, but it's much easier to see if you chart it separately, and also provides another means of verifying your selections.
Winning money from the lottery with any consistency takes some effort. Anybody can get lucky once or twice, but once you've made the plunge and spent money on a high-end system, you must dedicate whatever time is necessary to making that system work. Setting up your inital draw history is a lot of work, so unless you're willing to sit at your kitchen table and accurately color in six month's worth of past draws, you probably won't get your investment back.
Brett, you have one of the most effective (boxed bet) systems on the market today, in my opinion, but don't throw in the towel just because you aren't yet comfortable with it. Give yourself some time and really study each aspect of the MoneyMap chart. Take it apart and fool around with it. Read some of the other threads about Steve Player systems - there's tons of information there. If you'd like, you can PM me with your snail-mail address, and I'll send you some copies of the extra charts I made.
You get out what you put in. You've already spent $300; if you want to get that money back, follow through with an adequate training period. Give it four to six months of intensive study before you decide it doesn't work. My guess is you'll be able to make it pay.
