Use some of our Pick 3 rules on Pick 4 .......interesting to see how that works.
Ok..... In pick 4 we know that doubles happen almost HALF the time .....not like the 27% of the time in good old Pick 3.
We also know that in Pick 3..... NO digits repeat in the next draw around a 3rd of the time right ? No digits repeat on a Math average of around every 2.5 draws.... call it 3 draws .
With just these 2 rules in mind .... we should have some interesting resullts playing Pick 4 !
=================================================================
Using just the first 3 digit s of the Pick -4 draws we can treat them just like we are playing Pick 3 .
For Example..... 1234 123 ... 4
Now then... we already know that we have a 1 n 3 chance that the first 3 digits ...123x will not repeat every 3 draws ....we have a good shot at a Pick 4 hit. At least the first 3 digits ....at this point anyway. Hitting the first 3 is good right?
We all know that if no digits repeat in the next draw ....... there are only 35 numbers in Pick 3 that work for that next draw.
Only 35 single numbers .....out of 120 singles ....that fulfill that requirement.
Here are the numbers that don't repeat with any Digits 1,,,,2,,,,,or 3
35 single box numbers .....that have no digits 1,2,or 3
046, 479, 569, 578, 047, 056, 489, 579, 678, 048,
057, 589, 679, 049, 058, 067, 689, 059, 068, 789,
069, 078, 456, 079, 457, 089, 458, 467, 459, 468, 567, 045, 469, 478, 568
Tah Dah..... so now we have the first 3 digits of the winning P-4 number 1 outta 3 draws !
If NO DIGITS repeat in the next draw's single number...... 1 outta 3 draws on average ......we have the first 3 numbers of the next draw ......... quaranteed !
