somebody is giving away their age here!!
is that the only number you play? if you play you should have at least five different bets to cover different angles...and try to time at least one position in order to catch a str8...i use my matrix walk chart.
i am playing a new str8...its 1118 ,supposedly it has not hit str8 since 1983...
i am trying to time it...
the 1 in position three has a terrible track record...but its hitting in similar patterns,
i have been trying to cover the 1118 with 11xx front pair but i am finding it sold out...so i may have to cover with xx18 back pair which is less attractive as a pair to ordinary players...or i may forgo the str8 and pair and just play it box as it should pay much more. DECISIONS DECISIONS!!!
but i am timing also front pair 07xx 17xx 27xx, but i stopped playing the 0789...i should start again...then you run into the problem of playing too many numbers and all that losing really eats you so you stop playing some of them and then BAM! one of your numbers hits and then a brief period of depression begins...
so you shake it off and go back to the pick 3...
I have never hit a str8, never hit a box...but i have caught several front pairs this year...and it was 07 27... the 77xx is also sold out...but it doesn't have as many hits as 07xx, 17xx, or 27xx,
although deep down i know its just greed to want to win the win 4 ...when i can make decent money in pick 3
