Hey Jeff,I mean like 5559 or 7797 these are both triples. Doesn't matter what order they're in just that it has 3 of the same numbers. But that could come as a quad too... 5555 or 7777 that would satisfy the triple counter also...I hope that helps,Bryan

The basic odds of a pair like that hitting is 1: 1667---to repeat would be astronomical. I would say 1:16,000 Wouldnt the formula 1.67 times 10 to the 4th power be right. Take care. Jeff

Wish I knew the answer to that one Jim. Doubles have killed me on midday in the last three days. I really poured on the loot since I was expecting singles, but miraculously, doubles keep appearing.

Can anyone here tell me what the correct odds are against a boxed pair repeating for two or more consecutive draws? For those inexperienced players, an example of a boxed pair would be 23 = 32, 54 = 45, etc.If you are an experienced player, then the last statement does NOTapply to you, so you can safely ignore it, and forego flaming me for insulting your abilities as a prognosticator.Just wanted to make that clear.Now, my question is this: How often should we expect boxed pairs to repeat in two
