  I THOUGHT SO...I dont specialize in Pick4...But i am thinking the following...Many go for the Pick4: STRAIGHT OPTION which i am very fuzzy about but i think it pays: $5,000 and after taxes is what is it?? $2,5000 but the problem is that the odds are: 1 in 10,000.....

  However a Box wheel has: 200 combinations or 210 combinations, dont remember and if you get the numbers boxed you get: $200....But $10 x $200 = $2,000 without tax....Is the SAME THING AS PLAYING A: Pick4 STRAIGHT COMBINATION FOR $1 except that the difference is: 1 in 200 and not 1 in 10,000...

  Put simply: 1 in 10,000 and you basically get: $2,500 after they take taxes away from you....

  or 1 in 200 you bet $10 and you get: $2,000 and you dont have to pay taxes....

  plus the 1 in 200 bet is cheaper than the 1 in 10,000 bet...

  which one you preffer...

  The Forex trades: 1.6 Trillion dollars EVERY day, that´s more than the GDP of the Carribbean Central America, COMBINED. Enough to feed every crook out there for centuries...To all Geniuses & Powers Countries of the World the Planet needs breakthroughs in all Medicine, Veterinary, Biology related fields, Psychology, Population Psychology/Sociology..They need to genetically ingeneer new plants species/types to give more variety of plants and thus have more resources for combating diseases¨

  Lottery players aren't as dumb as you think, if the odds of winning $2000 was 1:200, it would be a no brainier to buy all 200 chances and make an $800 profit.

   * you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *

  Your type of math is the same as the gang in DC uses. How do you bet $10 and get $2000. A box wheel has 210 single combos, 360 box double combos, 45 double-double combos, 90 triple combos, 10 quads for a grand total of 715 box combos. So , are you suggesting , bet $2100 to win $2000?????

  not only that:

  a regular Pick4 is a: Pick1/0-9 + Pick1/0-9 + pick1/0-9 + Pick1/0-9...That´s Pick4....

  If you could crack or win: Pick1/0-3 + Pick1/0-3 + Pick1/0-3 + Pick1/0-3 which is a Pick4/0-3, if you could crack/win it,

  you will win: $2,000 a month, or $2,000 a week, or $2,000 a day nice secondary/supplementary income without ever paying taxes...however you will only win when the numbers dont repeat, meaning there is no double which happens half the time of a month or 17 days if there is double is another 16 days of the month...If there is a double i think it will be: 87 tickets extra. i cant remember...

  if you like you can play the: 87...I am not sure if is 87 or another 200 tickets....I think is 87 because you are only looking at numbers that repeat on pick4, doubles...

  So if is 87 then is: 1 in 87 odds and you make: $2,000 without having to chase: 10,000 combinations...Now that i think about it i think is 87...i dont remember for is been a while but i think is 87...Is GOT to be 87....

  what´s wrong is that most of you expect a magic wand...

  the box payout for Pick4 is: $200 so $200 x 10 = $2,000...
