I am giving up on Pick 4 and NCEL in general. No lie one of the 1rst times I played P4 I played my badge number (8993) I wore in a road race I ran with my son on 2/8/14. I played the number 50/50 on 2/9/14 and woke up the next morning and saw that I won 2700.00 bucks!! That got me hooked!!! Since then I have spent approximately 20 bucks a day on P4. The thing that has intrigued me with P4 and P3 for that matte (even though I do not play P3) is the science behind it in studying patterns and the work outs. The thing that has made me realize that this is all bulls$%%t is when I became aware of pre-draws about a year ago. The pre-draws voids every pattern, work out, etc. Over due numbers are not over due because they hit often in the pre-draws. So since 2/9/14 here is my balance sheet:
Expenditures:
Roughly 20 bucks a day (10 bucks each day and night draws) since 2/8/14 equals 824 days x 20 equals 16,480.00!!!!!
Ouch!!!! I wonder why I am struggling to pay for my sons college that is roughly 17k a year???
Winnings:
2700.00 (2350.00 after state taxes) on 2/9/14
1850.00 (1734.00 after state taxes) on 4/816
About 8 box hit on doubles over the past couple of years for 1600.00
Total After Tax Winnings since 2/816: 4,884 minus 16,480 equals NEGATIVE 11,596.00!!!!! That is over 11K I have loss over the pass couple of years that started with a 2700.00 win!!!
Granted I could have cut into that if I played singles boxed which was about 20 for 2000 bucks but always play singles exact. Still would be a 9,000.00 loss!!!
What hurts the most are the str8s I missed the past 2 years. 8447 (my wife's last 4 on her cell that hit March 8th 2015) that I had played a lot. 1988 (my college grad year that hit 9/23/14) that I played an exact an a 50/50 for 7700.00 bucks 2 draws before it hit. What hurt the most was 1056 that hit 12/11/15. 1056 is my family's b-day months (daughter 10, son 5 and me and my wife 6) IT IS THE <snip> SECURITY CODE TO GET IN MY HOUSE!!!! I ALWAYS PLAYED IT!!! OFTEN 5X EXACT FOR 25K!!! ALWAYS AT LEAST 50 CENT EXACT FOR 2500.00. FOR WHATEVER <snip> REASON I DID NOT EVEN PLAY IT .50 EXACT THAT DAY!!!! At least hitting the minimum of what I normally played on those 3 exact numbers would have greatly reduced my losses!!!
I QUIT!!! I QUIT!!!! PICK 4 IS THE DEVIL'S GAME!!!!!!!
I will continue to play a dollar a day on CASH 5 because it is only a dollar and I know what the odds are and not relying on false science. Over 100 peeps in NC win at least 50k a year playing and why not me??? It is only a dollar a day!!
I will also continue to buy about 30-50 dollars worth of brand new scratch offs on the 1rst Tuesday of every month. I usually break even and sometime win up to 500.00 bucks because scratch off winnings are usually stacked on the new rolls. I never spend a dollar more on scratch offs after the 1rst Tuesday of every month. That has worked for me!!! Pick 4 has not!!! COULD HAVE IF I THAT <snip> 1056 WOULD HAVE HIT WHEN I PLAYED IT 5X EXACT!!!! But it hit the one day I did not even have it .50 exact. I quit!!!!
Thanks for all you have done money team!!! I wish you all the best. I am sure that now that I am out my numbers will probably start hitting. HEAR THAT KYLE??? DROP SOME BIG ONES ON THAT 7956 WE BOTH HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!! IT WILL HIT NOW TRUST ME!!!! I REALLY HOPE YOU HIT IT BIG!!!!
