I have purchased both of Walsh's books, Pick 3 & Pick 4, hardcopy, from Amazon (approx. $47 each). His Pick 3 System IS NOT COMPLICATED at all, it is simply VTRACS in DISGUISE. Robert Walsh has taken the VTRAC Methodology and CAMOUFLAGED it with his own Spin and Twist, and claimed it as his own.
I don't know where TODD originally got the VTRAC CHARTS from on LP, or if this Information is Copywritten by TODD or someone else, or is freely available for Public dissemination, or not. I don't know if Walsh took this information from LP with or without TODD"S permission or what, or where he (Walsh) got his VTRAC info. from. But Walsh has taken the Pick 3 VTRAC Chart, VERY CLEVERLY REWORKED it in a certain manner trying to make it unrecognizable, and has claimed it as his own. His BASE NUMBERS are VTRAC NUMBERS in DISGUISE.
He then came up with various strategies to apply to those VTRAC Numbers, to get a new group of 8 numbers to play each night from the new VTRACs. The 8 numbers to play following his BASE NUMBERS are EXACTLY THE SAME as the 8 Numbers following the Corresponding VTRAC number. Robert Walsh's BASE NUMBER CHART is the PICK 3 VTRAC CHART in DISGUISE.
You simply CHANGE the Number Drawn into its VTRAC NUMBER, and apply his STRATEGIES to the VTRAC NUMBER, and use the VTRAC CHART to get the new set of numbers to play. That's all there is to it.
Personally, when I realized this, I felt that Walsh had SIMPLIFIED how BEST to use VTRAC Methodology, for CONSISTENT HITS. All of the examples in his books of his System working Nationwide are VALID examples.
I backtested the States of NORTH and SOUTH CAROLINA myself, trying to see which STRATEGIES were actually in effect from drawing to drawing. Walsh uses Mid. - Mid. and Eve. - Eve. in his book. However, the Strategies don't usually Hit that way in NC & SC. In NC & SC the Strategies HIT most often Eve. - Mid. and Mid. - Eve. This is part of the TRICK to understanding how to use his System, catching the Strategies that are in effect, and when these Strategies are most likely to occur. It is EASIER to catch these STRATEGIES in HINDSIGHT. But we play the Lottery in FORESIGHT.
I concluded that you would have to play the STRATEGY that Showed MOST OFTEN on a Weekly Basis, based on a months worth of Backtesting, because there is no way to anticipate which Strategy might occur from drawing to drawing, unless you catch a PATTERN happening in your state regularly, or you are a Lottery Psychic.
Now that you know he is using VTRAC Methodology, take the time to go back through his book carefully backtesting your state, and see if it makes more sense to you. You must Practice seeing which Strategies are in effect from Drawing to Drawing, and determine which ones show up most often in your state. (For Example: A1 Strategy, B2 Strategy, C3 Strategy, E5 Strategy, etc...)
For Example: Rather than translating a drawn number into his Base Numbers, translate the drawn number into its corresponding VTRAC Number instead. The 8 VTRAC numbers that follow will be exactly the same as the 8 numbers for the corresponding Base Number in Walsh's Chart.
Then Choose a Strategy that shows most often in your state (from backtesting), and apply that Strategy to the New VTRAC Number, and look up the New set of 8 numbers to play from the Vtrac Chart. (In SC, the A1 and B2 Strategies show up most often on a weekly basis, so I would apply ONE of these Strategies to the First Intial VTRAC Number, to get NEW Vtrac Numbers, and their corresponding Sets of 8 Numbers to Play from the Vtrac Chart. )
You will end up with more than 8 New Numbers to play, because Walsh's Strategies usually create from 3 to 6 New VTRAC Numbers from the First Initial VTRAC #, and you have to look up the new sets of 8 numbers for each of the new Vtrac numbers, to get your TOTAL NEW GROUP of VTRAC Numbers to Play.
We are already Familiar with His Strategies, because we usually apply these Strategies to the original Lottery Number that is drawn. But I haven't seen these Strategies applied to VTRAC Numbers too often. This is where he is getting his CONSISTENT NATIONWIDE HITS from. APPLY the Strategies that we already know about and use to VTRAC Numbers, to Hit on a Consistent Basis.
I hope this Helps to Clarify the Methodology in his book, somewhat. You just have to work with it. It's NOT COMPLICATED. Personally, I think it's BRILLIANT!!!!
Both of his books, Pick 3 & Pick 4, are Worth the Investment !!! As much as people already spend Playing the Lottery, I doubt if this Investment will break anyone's Lottery Budget too much.
Good Luck to you !
