Not sure about that going abroad, the trip cost something, you can't go for free. I used the payout for tonight as the base. I am looking at the cash flow right now. I will keep checking this and see when you start using the house money.

So get this. Starting 1353 games ago, it only took 5 games to go the rest of the 1348 games on house money. Am I high? is this right?
Exactly, as I have always said to my friends, I only need about 500 bucks or less to start, and the rest of the profits will come from wins, not my money. You plant a seed.

Again, If I ain't high, In Florida for the same number of games you would have netted $526,000 playing all 6, $24,978 for playing only 1. for all 6 you are on house money after the 4th game for the rest of the way.

You're high lol. 110 cost is too low remember?
If you play all six ways, it's 660 bucks cost per draw, not 110.

For some of you who are having a problem understanding this, I'll do just this month of October.
From the 4th of October till today the 27th, equals 48 draws.
48 draws X 900 =43,200, this is how much I would win in 48 draws in an ideal world, if there were no doubles triples and lowest digit number above 4. So below you will see the deductions. The first deduction is COST. Then the next deduction is the doubles that ruin my day, and lastly, it's the combinations with the lowest number above 4.
To play both mid and eve it's 660 bucks twice a day in other words 48 draws, that costs 31,680
There were 9 doubles so far. That cost me 5940 (9 X 660=5940)
Only 1 combination with the lowest digit above 4 (October 13-eve-967) This cost me 660 bucks...so...
Won-43,200
Cost-31,680
Doubles lost money on-5940 bucks
Lowest numbers above 4 loss-660 bucks
So,
43,200 minus the 31,680 cost, and another 6,600 for doubles, and lastly, another 660 loss due to the ONLY combination with the lowest number above 4 leaves me a net worth of.
43,200-won
-31,680-cost
- 5,940-doubles
- 660-lowest number above 4
= 4,920-net profit.
There, you have it. There were 9 doubles and I still would have made almost 5 grand in the last 24 days. Sorry, these are real numbers.
While I think your strategy for improving the pick 3 odds is good, I'm wondering if you can explain a few things.
"From the 4th of October till today the 27th, equals 48 draws."
Maybe I missed it but is there a specific reason you started with October 4th instead of of October 1st?
"48 draws X 900 =43,200, this is how much I would win in 48 draws in an ideal world, if there were no doubles triples and lowest digit number above 4."
This is where your numbers threw me off. Despite this being a perfect scenario where you would literally win every drawing of everyday, you went on to use the $43,200 in your calculations.
"Won-43,200
Cost-31,680
Doubles lost money on-5940 bucks
Lowest numbers above 4 loss-660 bucks"
I reran the numbers using all drawings from Oct 1 - Oct 26 (27th results weren't posted at the time). There were a total of 52 draws.
660 x 52 = $34320 (Cost to Play)
I then counted the number of times one of the numbers from your list appeared in a drawing and came up with 40 wins.
$900 x 40 = $36000 (Amount won after 52 drawings)
I then subtracted the amount spent from the gross winnings and came up with $1680.
$36000 - $34320 = $1680 in profit
So if the month were over, you'd walk away $1680 richer. However we still have a some drawings left since Florida is twice a day and 7 days a week.

Hey Allen,
I was using Amber's example of playing offshore which would give her $900 for a straight win. You are correct though. The normal payout from the state is $500.

The waging strategy is in a right direction, one has to make certain assumptions and choices for it to be profitable. His assumption is that, the sub-group 0 through 4 which gives 10 frequent pairs to be wage for combo bet (straight bet actually). Do you have to play day and night?, what if one consider the sub-group with a digit repeat, your added cost is less than $100 since a combo for 3-way is $3 per pick. There are many options with his ideal.
