The ratios between the two are the same.

You could look for a better odds of happening to payoff odds ratio.

Pick 3 digits in first drawing position and the odds against you will be 7 to 3 or 2.33 to 1 and pick 3 digits in the second position with the same odds. The odds against hitting the 9 front pairs are 5.44 to 1 and the payoff odds are 4.56 to 1. I can get a $60 to $1 payoff in KY where the payoff odds of 5.67 to 1 slightly exceeds the odds of 5.44 to 1 against happening.

you know one could get a: 1 out of 2 [1/2] box wheel or a 1 out of 3 [1/3] box wheel....

Been there, done that. It's just a smaller scale, but just as hard to hit. The odds in the front or back pair are a 100 to 1, which pays only half....50 bucks. Just like 1000 to 1 with picking all 3 numbers. You get 500 bucks for a straight. It's just 1/10th smaller in size. The ratios between the two are the same.

But there are other benefits with pairs.

is 1 number less and eightuple your bet...$8 x $50 = $400 a Pick3 Straight without the hassle...Is a lot better...Or create some kind of wheel or Vtracs for front and back pairs...

$50 for front and back pairs is paying you the same as: 6 way as a box in a, straight box way for 6 ways...Except that is, 1 number less...And it only has: 2 ways to get it, straight....
