About that 3...
It's definitely on course for 60 hits in 2015. (So is the 6 ball, but I'm a lot more interested in the 3 because the 6 is the all time T5 hit leader. On the other hand, the 3 was the coldest number drawn in 2014 with just 31 hits)
As I said in my above post, the 3 has popped 15 times this year. With almost one quarter of 2015 in the history books, the 3 is one quarter of the way to 60 hits in 2015.
And that's important too. That's because any number that has hit 60 times in one year has typically hit at least 15 times by March 31st. The 4 hit 17 times by 3/31/14, and the 17 hit 16 times by 3/31/14. They were the hit leaders in 2014 with 59 hits each.
Something else I've noticed about any number that hits 60 times in a year is that in one month of the year, it will absolutely explode. For instance the 4 exploded in March of 2014 with 11 hits. The 17 exploded in September of 2014 with 11 hits.
By 6/30/15, if the 3 is sitting at 30 hits, it has a great shot at getting to 60 hits in 2015, and it's probably going to make it. And if it hasn't already exploded with 11 hits in March, April, May or June, then in one of the second half's six months, it's going to.
So just how do you use the above info to your advantage? Easy. Keep your eye on the 3 and Play it! It might explode this month, but I really don't think it will. It's only got two hits this month, and it'd have to hit in 9 of the 18 drawings remaining in March. For a number to hit 11 times in any given month, the hits usually come early and often. G5
