Pick3/4 Master said :What I decided to do was use all the numbers in the pick-3 which is 1,000 combos by using "P34Lotto" and just applying filters to reduce the combinations.So by using all the numbers in the Pick-3 you avoid having to figure out doubles and repeats,I figured out that by selecting a small amount of filters you can reduce the 1,000 combo's down to 20.
I had a similar idea and also used p34Lotto and other software using filters to reduce the number of combinations, but was unable to reduce the numbers enough and even so, I cut out too many winning numbers with the filters including doubles, which come out just too often (More often than I which that they did) So if I had used those numbers, I would had lost just as much or more than I would had won, so at least for the moment, I have given up that particular method, and I know about filters, I am not an expert yet!, but I know a little bit about them, Ion says that, that is an static method of playing and that dynamic methods are best, I guess, that neither him nor I, know, what You know about filters.
Oh well! Life is a learning process.
For the moment, I have turned my focus to software, when I am ready I'll try paper and pencil.
As You can see, I am doing what a lazy person would do, but not really, if you think that finding the proper software settings and or options is easy, You got something else coming to You when You try it yourself, almost anybody can use software, but not too many can do it properly and even if You do, it does not mean that the program will give You the winning numbers, many or most programs can't, at least not often enough, if You buy all 1000 numbers, You will of course get the winning number, but loose $500.
At least, I am getting closer all the time, little by little, but I have been about to give up many times.
LuckyCat, the first thing is to have a very wide open mind, second a belief that it can be done, third a desire to win, fourth study and perseverance, yes lots of study and patience, fifth practice, practice and more practice.
And it helps if you know how to study and learn, and if you have an open and clear mind and if You have "Unbending intent" and if You practice meditation often and if You do lots of "Clear" thinking.
The more proper mental activity done, the more neuron network connections that are created in the brain.
We'll talk again, good luck and bye.
"Never give up"
