ive been messing around with pick 3 for a long time... won $500 the first time i played and got hooked. i really enjoy reading the posts especially win d's.
here's the system i'm working on using the texas midday pick 3:
take the last 10 drawings. each time a number hits in any position it gets a set amount of points. the numbers from the previous drawing are assigned 20 points, 2 drawings away gets 18 points each, 3 drawings away gets 16, etc, down to 10 drawings away gets 1 point. If the number wasn't drawn in the last 10 drawings then it (obviously) doesn't get any points. these points are updated everyday with the previous day's winning numbers added and the previous days 10th drawing dropped.
tally up all the points for each number (0-9) and discard the 4 numbers with the lowest point total (currently #'s 0,3,5,7). That would leave you wheeling #'s 1,2,4,6,8,9 for Midday July 13th in Texas. This is what I call my "Top 6".
I understand that hot numbers don't always win in pick 3. However, when the "Top 6" do win, they generally come in consecutive draws or within a skip or two. It is almost like the numbers have a tendency to get out of balance (their short-term average) before they go through a correction and then the "Top 6" won't win again for awhile.
Since I never know when the "Top 6" are going to hit, I wait until they do hit and then keep playing them until I've lost two times in a row.
Any feedback on this system?
