  ...The entire endeavor of trying to create a "Lottery System" should be called "Fun with Numbers" because that's what it is to me

   

  I hear that man

  Number are fun...and it $pays$ when you know what you're doing too!!

  The goal is to approach the Pick 3 & Pick 4 game sensibly and systematically!! 

   I'm not like the guy who predicted the end of the world and nothing happened.

    I  DONT   GET  IT.  WHY  PLAY   A  GAME  THAT IS   10,000 TO  1,   VERSES  A   GAME  THAT  IS   1000 TO  1.  IS  BEYOND ME, ITS  INSANE  PEOPLE  THINK OF  THE   PAYOUT  ON  PICK  4  IS  HUGE  THATS  WHY  THEY  PLAY, ITS  PLAIN   STUPID

  People play pick-4 because they can get up to 24 combos for 50 cents and get at the most 6 (four times less) playing pick-3. If you did the math, you would know that while the odds of winning the the pick-4 wager is 2.5 harder, but because the payoff is also 2.5 bigger, both bets are a wash.

   I like the way you think Stack...... very good. Best positive idea I've seen on the Pick 4. 

     However......Pick 4 still gives me the hives. LOL 

     The thought that no pick 3 straight is even late for 2.7 years is bad enough........but the thought Pick 4 straights aren't late for 27 years hurts my little feelings. LOL

  

   

   

  The only real failure .....is the failure to try.                               

                                Luck is a very rare thing....... Odds not so much. 

                                Odds never change .....but probability does.

   Assuming all draws are distinct for P3 and P4 and no repeats for successive draw, then 6C4 is better than 7C3> P4(15 picks) against P3 (35 picks), is all about the prize ratio, the use of the word  assumption may draw some critique , but that's okay.

  I play hunches and to stay on topic, I expect the hunch to hit in next 6 drawings and from my experience I do much better playing about ten hunches a year. It makes more sense to me to play some of the systems we see as a six drawing hunch.

  I was telling another LP member about a pick-4 number I hit $3 straight and $3 box on a hunch, played it the same way and won $1200. Next time I get a hunch, I'll let you know.

  My system would be software I bought.  I think that playing $10 per week my system should hit once a month, that's twice a week play.  I at least expect the software to win enough to pay for itself within one month.  I am sad I bought a program and then after one year had to get a new laptop but the serial number expired but the software company would not send a new serial number.  The software never did make me any money.

  Home, home where I wanted to be.
