Pipsqueek, I have studied and worked on this for 20 years. By now, digits become second nature to me and I don't have to stop and think whether something is Odd/Even, More/Less then last I can just close my eyes and see them and work them.

When I started out I didn't have a computer much less know there were programs for tracking. I had to make up my own system and do everything by pen and paper. I think that was to my advantage because I could see on paper how things happened. I think you wo... [ More ]

One way to get that one number is to watch your Repeats from draw to draw. Today in Texas I had 18 possible EXACTS with a 1 digit repeat out of last nights 479. Figured a digit 5+ out would drop and that was either the 8 or the 5. That left 5 other digits to consider (0-3-6-1-2) I was able to eliminate the 1 and the 2. Also have concluded that whatever came out of the 479 would be in the 2nd position and the 8 or 5 would be in the 3rd.

For anyone who decides to try this, here are two programs you can use. The first, the Hot-Cold Counter will automatically arrange any group of #'s you enter, in each position from hottest to coldest. The second, the Pick 3 Wheel - Engine is a good filter program. You just have to download them. Good Luck with these!!!

You can use these programs for anything, not just the Ref Boxes.

I have seen passionate players, White/Black/Latino/Asian who likes the numbers and who wins BIG. I guess the secret of winning is PASSION. If you like 1 thing, you will try to learn all about it and each and every way to get better at it.

So, as much as I am losing now, I am not discouraged. And I find LP a valuable tool in my quest to learn and become better at this game.

The people at the lottery redemption center where he goes know him by his first name when he walks in.

When PAIRS are a plenty, it might be worthwhile to play ALL combinations of your choice of range:

1. High Pair, High Kicker

2. High Pair, Low Kicker

3. Low Pair, High Kicker

4. Low Pair, Low Kicker

$10 $11 $11 $10

BIG PAIR small PAIR

A little more info on the 1:100. The reason the 1,000 can be reduced to 1:100 using 1 digit is there are exactly 100 combinations with any specific digit 0-9 in any given position.

Furthermore the 100 can be divided 60/40 depending on how the 3 digits Sum Total....Odd or Even. As said this includes Doubles and Pures and they can be eliminate most of the time because 72% of the time 3 different digits draw.

Once you become familiar with all the combinations you will become more comfortable

Thanks for the link gurwurston. Will certainly check it out as you can never get too much information on how to track these numbers even after 20 years of tracking. I have always used a method of Elimination for Determination .

If you can eliminate just 4 of the 10 digits you can take the 220 sets down to 50 sets and that will still have Doubles and Pures in the mix.

If you want to try a system for getting straight hits this is a good one. It will give a lot box hits too. It's a lot of #'s to play, but you can reduce it down if you tie it in with other workouts. He starts off using 20 draws, but reduces it to 12 later on. I just did a backtest from Jan. 1 to yesterday and it gave 36 straight hits and 63 box hits in Md. I did the ref. boxes for every day and the straights and box hits came mostly within the last 3 days, sometimes within the last 5.

Wonderful post! Lots of great ideas and suggestions. I keep saying this is what this website is all about - HELPING each other win more.

I try to key in on exactly what you said about

If you can get 1 digit that is going to play and determine what position it will be in (1st, 2nd, 3rd) you can reduce your 1:1000 Odds down to 1:100 without even eliminating Doubles and Pures.

If you want to play, make sure you do your homework and get to know your combinations and what is more likely to draw then not. If you can get 1 digit that is going to play and determine what position it will be in (1st, 2nd, 3rd) you can reduce your 1:1000 Odds down to 1:100 without even eliminating Doubles and Pures.

There are 120 sets of 3 different digit numbers and they draw 72% of the time. Each of those sets can be written 6 different ways. Watch your Repeat digits out of previous draw... [ More ]

Most times, I have one favorite, I'll play it straight and boxed, the rest I'll play for 50 cents boxed, I keep my daily picks to under 10 numbers, I have a set limit on how much I spend each week, once thats gone, I am done until the next week.

Sometimes If I think a number is due or I got a good hunch, I 'll wheel it everyday until it comes in, that seems to be my best strategy, My number will usually fall within 6 to 8 draws.

Ok, try these for the next 6 days. Can't guarantee anything.

Eve draw only. Play only the first 6 combos, but a hit could come within the remaining ones NOT in red, but it's rare, so just stick to the first 6 combos in red.

Give me a few minutes and I'll give you 6 combos to play, if your state has anything right now for me to work with. I've stumbled upon a system recently that has the best approach I've seen so far in about 25 years or more. It's meant for straight only but it can hit boxed unfortunately. The good news is that it has hit staright most of the time, and i won straight last week spending only about 20 bucks in 5 days, and on the 10th of march it hit again straight, but in the mid draw. it was meant...

Here is a technique you might find useful when you see people posting 50 numbers. Assuming you are good in Excel or spreadsheets.

1. Copy and paste the numbers in a spreadsheet.

2. SPLIT the cells, using either a space or a comma as a delimiter

3. SUM the individual numbers.

4. SORT by SUM

5. Lookup result of previous drawing and get the SUM

6. Decide on which way the next draw will go, UP or DOWN.

Good Luck.

I have seen 1 guy made $10K on $50 STR8 bet on a single number. I was wondering if he had help (was lottery rigged) or was he really that good. Whatever he has shown that profits can be made. I have been following Eazy4now and am amazed at his skills.

Yes he may post up to 50 numbers, if you track the lottery like he does, you can form an informed opinion of which ones to use. I have played with and without a system and the only way I came out net positive was with a system.

Good Luck.

How do pick 3 players even make a profit?

Tatototman65 — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 01:47:13 GMT

Hello all,

I've yet to buy a ticket for Pick 3, but after doing some tests, I don't see the point. Sure, I'll win on a couple of tickets and make a profit, but then in a weeks time, I'm back to the starting $0. Sure, picking the right numbers is everything, but how much do you typically spend to do so? I see a lot of players with 50+ predictions, but to make a profit you'd have to hit straight on one of those 50 tickets, otherwise you'd just lose money. Does anyone have any tips/suggestion...
