Pair sums is a term for working with the sum of pairs whether it be the front pairs, back pairs, or split pairs. Makes sense, right?
Sometimes it's easier to find a pair of number to play than a single digit. Some people prefer pairs. I got new license plate this year. They have four digits. Two sets of pairs. Or one set for the Pick 4 drawing?
Maybe that's the lottery commissions master plan? New plate with four digits will plant the subliminal message to play Pick 4? The state NEEDS our money (as if they don't get enough)!
Be that as it may, the first chart I call FSUM.
F = Front digit going down under FSUM and SUM= sum of the back pair going across to the right from FSUM
The program was run using all the live draw results for the morning, day, evening and night draws for Texas. A total of 13641 sets. The results came out like the chart below.
Easy to see the hot spots on the chart go from 6 to 12. Those back pair sums hit about 57% percent of the time. At the top of the chart the pairs that correspond to the sums have been color coded, i.e., 44 = 08, 45= 09, 46 = 10. The coding itself is based on the type pair. yellow is double digits. Green for consecutive digits. Blue for two odd digits. Red for two even digits. Mauve is mirror pairs. And white for what else....ghost pairs. (I didn't name the pair type but they fit perfectly, so Thank Win D for the names.
Before you think you just have to pick pairs between 6 and 12 and add a few digits, remember everything goes cold from time to time. Its always best to get some state results to see what has hit in the last 120 draws or so.
Plenty of info on pairs here, but a couple of rules of thumb....
If you pick a pair with two odds, get an even. If you pick two evens, get an odd. (This is based on the 1/2 and 2/1 rule)
Low pairs should be played with a high digit and high pairs with a low digit.
Second chart, same as above except middle digit down and the sum of the split pair across.
Third chart: same as the other two except the back digit goes down and the front pair sum goes across.
Have fun!
