My good friend, I am no pick 3 master, at least not yet anyway, but thanks a lot just the same.
You might be the Pick 3 Master, I don't know.
Any-how, what little I know about pick 3 skips (And it might not be too much) I might post about here, this is just the beginning post.
Now, first of all, my copies of P34Lotto, ProFilter-Pick-3 and LottoMatrix-3 don't have updated game databases at the moment, but for this post it should not matter too much.
Let us take a look at the Profilter and at the stats for the ABC or singles pattern:
For the past 80 draws on it's outdated Texas Midday database it shows that:
ABC or Singles Hit=55 times = Average Hit every 1.45 draws.
Now, P34Lotto on it's outdated Tx Midday database:
Last 80 draws ABC or singles pattern:
Expected 72% of the time Hits.
Actual for those last 80 draws = 76.3 % = Hit 61 times and an average of every 1.3 draws.
So from one segment or period in time to another the Singles Midday Hits for Texas changed from 61 to 55 or from 55 to 61 Hits whichever it was as the 2 programs' histories are not equaly out or up-dated and I don't know which of them is older than the other. I will check a little later.
That is a difference of 6 hits in 80 draws for the singles between one time and another.
If the programs had or at least one of them, Sliding Stats, then one could better keep track of these Hits Variations between different segments of the draws' history, without having to delete first and then add draws to them one at a time in order to see the changes as the draws move or progress from oldest to newest draws and still keep the 80 draws stats constant or whatever constant a person wants to select for the stats, which also should be user selectable and easy to select and change at anytime from the stats portion of the program.
Anyhow, with singles we don't have to worry too much about when they will hit, as they will hit most of the time, on those real examples they averaged from 1.3 to 1.45 Draws per Hit.
The ProFilter program does not show the actual skips for the singles, doubles and triples patterns nor much about their stats, after all Harmen knew little about the pick 3 game and what is really needed for proper prediction on daily games.
As to the P34Lotto program it does give the Hits and Skips in a Serial way, that is as they happened one after the other, that is very good, but more skip info (User selectable) could have been given.
Lottery programmers for the most part know little about lottery games and about what a person needs in a program it's proper use and prediction.
Anyhow the P34Lotto gives or shows a little skips info, not much at all, but at least some, it is better than nothing at all, as I said lottery programmers many of them are very short sighted and or know little about the lottery and it's proper prediction.
Here we have some Hits and skips for Singles from P34 Lotto as ProFilter does not give any at all:
2, 8, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 21, 1 and 2.
The Red numbers are SKIPS and the Black numbers are HITS.
That very short segment (Too short for my taste) shows that on those draws the longest skip for the ABC or Singles pattern was 2 (Skips) most of the time if there were skips at all thery were no more than 1 (Skips) Draw, but the Singles could come out 2 to 21 times without any skips in between.
But that history of skips is too short and that is all that that program will give.
What it shows is that playing singles is the way to go if you want to get a maximum ammount of hits in the shortest time possible.
On LottoMatrix3 I don't see any kind of info for Singles, Doubles and Triples Stats of that kind.

This is all for this post, just a beginning, more to come as I can.
Good luck.
