I'm going to have to tend to agree with this. Sums never did a thing for me...but I'm sure a lot of people will disagree.

I never paid much attention to sums. I certainly wouldn't buy any tics based on sums. Sums are a way to filter your picks if you use filters as a way to narrow down a lot of picks to more affordable plays.

JUST LOOK AT THE ODDS OF ANY JACKPOT GAME, THAT WILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Sums 9 To 18 Account For 67% Of All Combos.So Why Wouldn't You Concentrate Mainly On Those.

I'm Sure If You Check Any States Past Results,These Sums Would Dominate.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

After working with sums, specifically LDS (last digit sums), my hit rate has dramatically increased for both pick 3 & pick 4!

I brought the notion to the table of a sum7 and sum11 relationship a long time ago.....it definitely has some merit and I'm thrilled to see it is commonly accepted around here for some hits...and the best part is they work in reverse too

Outside of that sums are fairly useless to me personally. IMHO

I have since switched to playing P4, but when I played P3, I kept a chart of the sums on graph paper. I found that if you took

the sum from the day before yesterday, and played the sums 2 & 3 above it and 2 & 3 below it today, they would often hit.

List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.

Bogus? As in: Useless? Not helpful? and a waste of time?
Well, I don't agree but Bob is entitled to his opinion. If he doesn't like them, he doesn't have to use them.
Personally, I like sums. There are people that put them down or don't understand them. I'm not asking them to,
I'm just saying that it's wrong to put any method down as long as it's working for someone.

Happy winning - whatever way you can do it.

Depends on the game and who you believe. Some sums are more popular than others probably because more combinations add up to those sums.

* you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *
