A lot of people play that way ........and have been waiting a long time.
Remember ..... if you wait for one number to hit in P-4 ..... it's not late until all 10,000 numbers have been drawn. Of course .....it takes 27 years for them to draw 10,000 numbers .....if they draw 7 draws a week 365 days a year.
Notice 2 of the 4 digits return next draw in Pick 4.... A Lot !
OK,, then,, Gamble along with that fact
Example: of the 4 drawn digits that day 0123 ......
456789 not drawn digits
Picking the 2 of the 4 digits at random to return in the next draw could give us 6 pairs
0123 gives us >>>>> 01, 02,03, ..or.. 12,13,23
Lets bet with the 01 pair to return.
Now put the returning pair with the 6 other numbers that didn't hit today. Those would be 4,5,6,7,8,9
That would give us only 15 pairs to play
45 46 47 48 49
56 57 58 59
67 68 69 + using returning pair 01
78 79
89
01..45 0146 0147 0148 0149 etc.
= only 15 numbers
This covers the single number plays

Expecting a double to hit next .....then do this
Wheel 01 with the doubles if you think a double may hit next. Only 10 more
01 ....00 11 22 33 44 55 66 77 88 99
15 x .25 cents = $ 3.75
10 doubles x .25 = $2.50
Do the entire thing for .......
$ 6.25
