Vtracs are used to classify hits and are frequently used for pick 3 games. There are many different systems and methods to classify digits and sets of digits (e.g. 562 is drawn and is the set. The digits of the set are 5, 6, 2).
So among the many ways people have developed to classify the history of draws, Vtracs is just one way.
The strength of using Vtracs is in simplification. Instead of 1,000 combinations in P3, you have 125 Vtracs that represent all those combinations, in the order of the drawn digits (strait). Now what is interesting is if we look closer at the 125 Vtracs, we can see the same sets in different order in some of the 125 Vtrac mirrors. Example: Vtracs followed by the mirror set for that Vtrac:
V123 = 012 017 062 067 512 517 562 567
V132 = 021 026 071 076 521 526 571 576
V213 = 102 107 152 157 602 607 652 657
V231 = 120 125 170 175 620 625 670 675
V312 = 201 206 251 256 701 706 751 756
V321 = 210 215 260 265 710 715 760 765
See that v123 and V132 have the same mirror digits in sets? The order of the set is the only difference along with set placement in the mirror. If we look at all the mirror sets as being boxed, then V123 is the only Vtrac we need to track 48 combinations. If you decide a Boxed Vtrac is due and you want to play it, then all you need are the fundamental 8 mirror sets of that Boxed Vtrac. This classification of Vtracs into Boxed Vtracs simplifies 125 Vtracs down to just 35! Here is the Boxed Vtrac from the above:
VB 123 = 012 017 062 067 512 517 562 567
You still need to look at all the 125 strait Vtracs and their individual mirrors at times when it comes to ordering the digits for a strait play. By tracking the 35 simplified boxed Vtracs, you might be able to narrow down what Vtrac will hit next. Your chance to be correct is 1:35. If you are correct in selecting the next Boxed Vtrac, your odds of selecting the right Boxed mirror set is 1:8 (or better- another post). If you have correctly selected the right Boxed mirror set from the boxed Vtrac, then your odds are 1:6 (or better) to get the set ordered right. Determining the order of a boxed Vtrac is another part of the fun. That is when you will reference the Vtrac Mirror combinations list. You will need it!
Vtrac Travelers: Some look at other State’s results in similar games like P3 for a correlation of a Vtrac that hits in one State and then in another a following day. That is a whole different way to track and classify hits and is a study in its own. There are members who are very successful at narrowing down and predicting expected Vtracs, even for all States! Their Vtracs lists produce consistent winning results. By simplifying 125 Vtracs to just 35 Boxed Vtracs, your odds are just 1:35 to be correct in your Vtrac selection.
DD...this might be some help to u lotto..from the looks of this chart same numbers just diff combination.
