HoLeeKauHoLeeKau - I've been a Cowboys fan since I was a boy, but to be honest, I find myself caring less and less about all sports the older I get. I still keep up w/ Dallas, listening to sports talk radio, reading articles on the website and belong to several Cowboys forums and msg. boards (hence the folder) but I have no problem turning the channel if they're playing badly.

I've been doing that a lot over the last 15+ yrs. sigh

I'll second THIS reply...you're dam*ed skippy!! If a player is really running a true system, then they absolutely must log in results from each draw to see if anything for the next draw is ripe for the pickin'. To be successful at this game is no different than a regular job...it requires one's time, effort, and energy. The major difference is than you can make a lot more money in significantly less time on a single day than you can at work and it feels good doing it.

A different one for each game played and even perhaps for a particular day of the week.

Also a mechanical pencil, some graph paper, and a red pen/marker should also NOT be missing for the more than casual player.

I prefer a project pad with a black, red and green pen. Picking combinations for the next drawing is a project and is treated as such.

I use the black pen to record what happened in past drawings, the red one to mark the parameters I'll use to pick combinations for the next drawing and the green one to mark what happened during that drawing.

A true system is comprised of patience, discipline, opportunity, correct timing, moderate play list, and the money to play...in that order. If EITHER of these is missing, the player is losing and just pissing in the wind. I can guarantee it.

Also diligence and assiduity is helpful.

Also a mechanical pencil, some graph paper, and a red pen/marker should also NOT be missing for the more than casual player.

Hey, thanks...I really appreciate it and I'm diggin' that flag!!!! You know, the two games are one in the same and in my strong personal opinion, Pick4 is actually easier to work with in lots of aspects. It's so much easier to reduce combos for a given type of spreadsheet due to a higher number count when starting. This may sound strange, but it's true...at least from what I can see when crunching.

If a player has no discipline, then they really don't have a system either because a system is... [ More ]

When you see a license plate with PAY ### or ### PAY you consider it a must play.

Someone calls you and it's a wrong number but you play thier number, Pick 3 and 4, knowing that the wrong number was in fact the Lottery Fairy contacting you.

You don't bowl, but go to bowling alleys looking for the same score to appear a set number if times and that's your next Pick 3 play.

Not only do you notice numbers on license plates but you also consider them as LHL or OOE.

You look at the clock to see the exact time you go to bed or wake up and you have a three or four digit number you add or subtract to that time to play a Pick 3 or 4, using lotto math of course. @sully
