After having this info repeated several times in many pick 3 systems I have purchased over the years, doesn't it make sense to follow it ? :
1.) The best numbers due to play are those with different digits (456) because these are
expected to be drawn seven out of ten chases.
2.) 50% to 75% of the time one of three digits drawn yesterday will be drawn today as well.
3.) 25% of the time one of three digits drawn the day before yesterday will be drawn today.
4.) 10% of the time two out of three digits drawn yesterday will be drawn today.
5.) The best digits to play are the ones, which are drawn now, and not a week or a month ago.
I've been testing various strategies from many lotto systems and I have to say that wheeling 6 numbers out of 10 really does give you a good advantage, especially if you play them boxed or straight/boxed. I used to play 5 #'s wheeled before and did fair, but playing 6 numbers wheeled gives you a much better chance and it only costs you $10 more ($1 bet) or $5 more (with .50 bet).
Payout for $1 bet boxed is $80 or .50 cents paying out $40.
20#'s played($20) at 1$ = $80 win ... 4 x your investment - $20 = $60 profit
20#'s played($10) at .50 = $40 win ... 4 x your investment - $10 = $30 profit
* NOTE - If you play your numbers STRAIGHT/BOX , then you have to play for $1 each . You cannot play STRAIGHT/BOX option for .50 cents (just a reminder)
There are 10 combinations with 5 out of 10 numbers selected OR 20 combinations with 6 numbers selected
Lets apply the rules above for tonights Florida Ca$h 3 and see how we do ...
9/30 - 627
9/29 - 524
9/28 - 962
9/27 - 793
9/26 - 356
9/25 - 043
9/24 - 410
Last nights pick 3 was 627 (rule 2)
Night before was 524 (rule 3)
Night before that was 962 (rule 4)
We only go back 7 draws (rule 5) (the extra days are in case the 1st few days have repeating numbers..find the non-repeating number going through each day in order till you get it)
After applying these rules, come up with our 6 #'s to wheel ... 627549 (rule 1 ..no repeating #'s)
Combinations from our chosen set are ... 627,625,624,629,675,674,679,654,659,649,275,274,279,254,259,249,754,759,749,549
The above numbers are selected for October 1st
This is how I've been playing and hope it brings you some luck.
Good Luck !
