  Can we keep all responses on topic please (trolls)

  I've been playing pick 4 for over a year...  Just sat down with a OG, he asked how good was I in pick 3. 

  I told him I never played it.... He asked why. I said pick 4 pays more.....  He sat with me and talked numbers, taxes, conviencepayouts, ease, odds, facts and history...

  To sum up conversation, he says you earn win pick 4 money playing pick 3......

  it all depends on who you ask... some may say yes some may say no.. but me personally i think you can if you know the rite numbers to play picking 3 numbers is easier than picking 4

  IMO, You need to hit straight in Pick 3 to win any real cash. Don't get me wrong, I've won my share in Pick 3. But I'll take

  $200 & $400 for a $1 box over $80 & $160. As far as taxes for Pick 4, it all depends on how you wager. I'm not gonna say

  any more than that.

  

  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.

  The most I have won at one time on pick 3 is $500. That is the top prize in Florida for a $1.00 straight.
  
  The few times I plunged and bought multiple pick 3 straight tickets on the same number I lost.
  
  I made a miniscule profit on pick 3 straight with a single win in November. I also managed to beat the odds with 5 front pairs last month, but I am glad I didn't play them because the Florida 50% takeout would have resulted in giving me a net loss. For me, box and straight/box plays result in a net loss as well.
  
  I'm a relative noob, so I am still trying to get my technique down.

  I often work on st8's more. I will us any extra money over the .50 box for a st8 hit.  Either PRESS a number I like or ADD additional st8 options.
