10,000 numbers means ...... no straight number is even late for at least 10,000 draws or 27 years !! Which ever comes first. LOL Ofcourse, Pick 3 is only 2.7 years.
The 10,000 straights contain .....
5,040 single straights
4,370 double straights
2 7 0 double/doubles
360 trips
10 quads
10,000.00
Box wise..... 210 singles
360 doubles
45 double/doubles
90 trips
10 quads
715 boxes
No digits return from previous draws sometimes. That's one way to play with fewer numbers. Wait. If your timing is right you may have a shot at a Box win at least.
How often do no digits return from the previous draw?
Straights
Of the 5,040 singles ..... 360 single straights will not contain one of the four previous digits
Of the 4,370 doubles...... 720 will not contain one of the four previous digits.
90 double/doubles... 270
360 trips...... 120
10 quads .... 6 will not contain one of the four previous digits
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boxers not returning any previous digits
210 single boxes ....... 15 contain none of the 4 previous digits
360 double boxes ....... 60 contain none
45 double/double.......15 contain none
90 trips ......30
10 quads .... 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
......and so, out of the 715 boxes in P-4. ........... 126 total boxes will not return any digits
out of the 10,000 Straights................... 1,296 straights will not return any dights.
12 to 13 %
We can plan on NO Digit Return numbers ......about 12 to 13% of the time in Pick 4.
