  Just curious on everyones opinion on this.

  Say you play the same number, 123 every week - midday and evening.

  Doesn't it make sense to play it for 7 days at one time on one ticket???

  Then there are people that play the same number, yet they instead go out twice a day to play the number. Isn't it a lot easier to just play it for 7 days in advance???

  I see a lot of the people on here buy single tickets.  I myself buy one ticket, every sunday- for 7 days. So I save that many trips to the store. Only downside I see is if you win right away - then feel as if it won't come out again but you are locked into it because you already payed a weeks worth of $ on it. In my case It cost me $28 a week. I play $1 str $1 box.

   

  Thoughts/comments?

  Same digits. Different games.

  They may be changing the order based on their workouts as far as straight bets.  Also they may figure, once it hits I'm not

  going to play it anymore, and don't want to pay for 7 days only to have it hit after 2. Personally, I don't play a number more

  than 6 days in a row. I have done that when I felt really strong about a number, but I haven't in quite a while. I usually change

  my numbers every day. Plus, just because a number / digit was hot or cold on the weekend doesn't mean it will be hot or cold

   at the end of the week. Also the skips / hit rate may change. Doubles may start hitting etc.

  

  Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

  True...good points, but I know people that 100% play the same number same order every day and I just don't get why they dont just put it on one ticket and save a lot of trips.

  Another question is... 1 number $1 Str $1 box for a week? or 2 different numbers 50/50? this comes to the same price.

   First question, I don't know other than what I already said. Superstition, favorite / lucky number? Maybe one of them will

   answer.

    Second question, 2 numbers will give you a better chance odds- wise. As I said, I change my numbers every day. It all

    depends on your budget or betting strategy.
