To continue with coin flip decisions a good play is making the decision of either low or high for each position. Low being 0-4 digits and high being 5-9 digits.
The above draws were from Idaho Pick3 midday draw.
Sat, Mar 16,2013 157 -> LHH
Sun, Mar 17, 2013 085->LHH
Mon Mar 18, 2013 821 ->HLL
The rule is this if you see 2 consecutive Low by position then you have 75% chance that the next position in next draw will be high.
The same holds true is if you see two conseutive high by position then you have 75% chance that the next position in next draw will be low.
So if you wait until all 3 positions have 2 consecutive lows or highs in each position you have the optimum time to jump in and make a bet on the next draw.
So you can see that the Saturday draw and Sunday draw lined up perfectly where you had two consecutive draws in the same LH range so it was easy to predict the Monday draw being HLL of course that is a $125 bet. Of course it doesn't always work and $125 is a steep bet to win $500.
If your trying to defeat Pick 3 with math versus patterns then I think looking for coin flip situitions and applying the 75% rule is a good strategy. In other words the 75% rule says that only 25% of the time will you see 3 consecutive heads, or 3 consecutive tails.
Lets say you get 3 consecutive Low's then the odds say you have 87.5 % for the next draw being high in that position. So even if all 3 positions do not line up you might still accurately use this concept to predict 1 position. Using this with a pair system such as Dr. Miracle might be useful in only predicting 1 position.
I have accurately used this concept with RL's dmp program to set filter values. My coin flip for filters is whether the filter value increases of decreases. If I see a filter go from 0 -> 1 -> 2. Then for the next draw I range the filter value between 0 and 1 betting on the filter value to decrease after 2 consecutive increases.
