Here is python file for this system that's give the top 7 recommend pairs along with the top 3rd digits for the pair it works great for kentucky pick 3 evening. All you have to do is download a free python editor from play store. Pyroid 3 is what I use copy and paste the entire code above hit play button then all it asked for last evening draw. Then it will automatically give you top 7 recommendations and best 3rd digit to play. It caught last night number 347 boxed for kentucky pick 3. Remember to save file in pyroid 3 before closing. You can use it on your phone forever!

The 18 4 digits strings in the program are often times + or -1 ,from actual winning number look for repeats in the string then + 1 or -1 example in image above you see 8334 and 3348 notice that would make a repeat 348 +1 or -1 gives 347

Some decently organized code there! Will look at this some more on the laptop.

I can't help looking at python code and edge cases popping out... what happens if last night's draw was between 000 and 099? It looks like the input requires 100 to 999...

Have an EXCELlent day!

That might need to be changed to allow for numbers below 100. This is a new program I created on my phone using grok ai. I'm by no means a coding expert just wanted to share. It has some potential to spot potential pairs along with 3rd digits to play. If it causes problems for numbers that are below 100 example 058 could test by flipping to 508. Just for fun and needs back testing. Try out in your state let's us know how it goes.

According to grok it back tested for kentucky pick 3 evening 2025. The top 7 pair recommendations were right 112 times.

So with 7 picks per draw, that would have made a profit?

Is there any significance to the divisor of 2.882?

Have an EXCELlent day!

Sort of 2 =1.414.

So,1.414 ×2 =2.828.

Laker is right about √2 It is an irrational number.

An irrational number is a real number that cannot be expressed as a simple fraction (a ratio of two integers, p/q), resulting in a decimal representation that is non-terminating (never ends) and non-repeating (no pattern). Essentially, they are numbers that aren't rational (not a ratio) and have infinite digits without repeating.

I am a Swift/C++/Java guy so I don't know if the python script provided produces this property of non-repeating digits or not or if they even care. I assume they just want a fairly long string of digits to test their theory.

I suspect if you used a binomial calculator that you would expect approximately 100 pair hits from 7 pairs about 90% of the time in 359 draws. If you do better than that then awesome.

I personally do this for pairs. I find a game where the 10 pairs constructed from a 5 digit string have skipped 10+ consecutive draws.

For instance right now in Florida the digit string 14578 which equates to pairs 14, 15, 17, 18, 45, 47, 48, 57, 58, 78 is overdue. None of these pairs has hit in the last 18 draws. These 10 pairs equate to 420 straight combos. You can divide the Pick 3 1000 combos into 580 heads and 420 tails. So you can kinda of say that if you are flipping a coin it has hit heads 18 times in a row or one of the other 580 combos that do not include these 10 pairs has hit 18 times in a row. So you would play for one of these pairs to hit or for tails to fall in the near term.

This is part of solution that I was able to parley into a very profitable system in 2025 using digits, pairs, and sums using similar probability concepts. There are 70+ pick 3 games in the US daily so it easy to find a game in favorable conditions for this type of play if you are able to play online with online payouts.

Good luck with your theories and learning python!

From the standard Python math library, the value of numbers like pi or Euler's number are 14 to 15 decimal place approximations. For example the expression sin(pi) should be equal to 0, but because an approximation is used, it will return a super small number like 1.22e-16.

For exact use, the sympy library exists, such as sympi.sin(pi) == 0
