After doing some research on how to filter out certain Pick 4 straights out of 10k, here's what I come up with base on the (first 2 digits) for each draw.
Before I began, just note that my research is based on a monthly basic, and a start for narrowing down what get played the most -vs- what not. Maybe someone else can chime in and give a little more detail on filtering. There's enough scholars here on LP that would give good insight. So don't be afraid.
First off, there are 5 different types combos that falls in the P4 game...Quads, Triples, Double Doubles, Basic Doubles, and Singles. Most of us know, that these types (Quads, Triples, Double Doubles)..rarely falls at times, and my guess drops about 10% or less on a monthly basic.
This leaves us with;(Basic Doubles, and Singles), the meat and Potatoes of the game. From this point on, everything will be about the meat and potatoes of the game.
Based on a normal 2 draw state for Pick 4 (Singles and Basic Doubles) , combos digits that are from low to high throughout the combination, doesn't falls as often for straight hit.Here are some example of these type combos; 0126, 2569, or 3689. Again, notice how the digits are from low to high.
Another thing notice; The Pick 4 games, RARELY drop straight combos that starts off as a consecutive pairs in first two positions, from low to high. Here are some examples of these types; 12xx or 45xx, or 67xx.
Lastly, Double digits in the first two positions drops about 10% of the time on a monthly basic. Is it worth trying to catch one of these type combinations. Here are some examples of these types; 22xx, 55xx, or 77xx.
Conclusion; So, after filtering out;1.(Quads, Triples, Double Doubles). 2. Combo digits that drops from low to high within the combination. 3.Consecutive pairs in first two position, from low to high. or 4. Double digits in the first two positions, Leaves us with the Top Front Straight Pairs that will fall 80%+ of the time in any P4 state. Adding the back pair to each and placing the groups separately may be another way for tracking which group may be up for there straight hit.
02xx 03xx 04xx 05xx 06xx 07xx 08xx 09xx
10xx 13xx 14xx 15xx 16xx 17xx 18xx 19xx
20xx 21xx 24xx 25xx 26xx 27xx 28xx 29xx
30xx 31xx 32xx 35xx 36xx 37xx 38xx 39xx
40xx 41xx 42xx 43xx 46xx 47xx 48xx 49xx
50xx 51xx 52xx 53xx 54xx 57xx 58xx 59xx
60xx 61xx 62xx 63xx 64xx 65xx 68xx 69xx
70xx 71xx 72xx 73xx 74xx 75xx 76xx 79xx
80xx 81xx 82xx 83xx 84xx 85xx 86xx 87xx
91xx 92xx 93xx 94xx 95xx 96xx 97xx 98xx
MAYBE someone can EXCEL this base only on the Singles & Basic Doubles straight combinations that meets the first 2 positions in the chart above, and post on LP.
Understanding it will still be a lot of straight combos, but its a great start for starters. Backtest and see what I said is true. PLEASE CHIME IN WITH YOUR IDEA, OF WHAT TO DO NEXT
