  I’m going to give a small hint about how my method begins (this is only the first step).
  If someone tries to reduce 20 numbers to guarantee a 5-number match, the number of bets becomes enormous.
  But what if, instead of reducing all 20 numbers at once, you reduce only 10 numbers twice?
  With two groups of numbers, there are only these possible splits: 0-5, 1-4, 2-3.

  How would you approach a game like PB with this idea?  Take the numbers in 10 number groups from 1 up to 69 ?

  No, my friend, that would be a mistake. I would focus (since there are so many numbers) on applying what I mentioned earlier.
  Playing all 69 numbers means more than 11,200,000 combinations (way too many).

  If you divide them into two groups (let’s say 35 numbers), then each group has about 324,000 combinations.
  Since there are two groups of 35, that’s a little over 649,000 combinations in total.

  And then you rely on the relationship I explained: 0–5, 1–4, 2–3.
  I’m not sure if I explained it well. Excuse my English.

  But we have to be realistic: when you play a lottery with so many numbers, the best thing you can do is create “manteles” and reduce them.

  If you don’t know what manteles are, I’ll be happy to explain them.

  I heard of a farmer in Texas that wrote the lottery numbers on a sheet of paper .  He then took the paper and sprinkled chicken feed on top of the numbers. He took the paper outside and placed it near his chicken coop!    The chickens then poked holes in the  paper and the farmer used numbers near  the holes and won  the lottery. Thats about out as high tech as you can find.

  The ole chicken feed method. 🤣

  This was just starting to become interesting and we have not heard anything from manuelalcaide for a few days now.

  I was really wanting to hear more to find out where this would go...

  How about it, manuelalcaide?

  I'm so sorry I haven't continued this thread. I'm dealing with a family issue right now and I don't feel like doing anything. I hope you understand. I'll be back when it's resolved and we can continue the thread if you'd like. Thank you for your understanding.

  Family comes first. Take your time.

  

  List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.
