The clue is to test the method by each draw set and see how long it takes for a str8 hit (combined or one draw type),2/ calculate the cost of for the average time frame and chose the limit as your cost, eg if I do a test for 20 draws and my hit times are 2, 8,7 ,10 5, 4 days/draws, I will take the limit 10 as my cost ($270), 3/ play only str8 to mitigate cost , is profitable at the end of time frame, 4/ don't change the matrix (27 picks or less) till end of time frame. Lets do a simple test using the link posted on the state of SC>

This is just a snap test mostly on type E draws to establish time limit and cost to incur, where you have x means a box hit, this is considered for a hit for time frame . Now looking at time frames I can chose 10 as a limit, let say I extend it to the limit 17 draws for a cost of 27 x17 ($459 ), you still make a profit or break even with one str8 hit , how so? look at the ratio above, out of 7 test you had 4 positive outcome, some with multiple hits, more test will give you a clear picture, the ratio is indication of degree of certainty, I hope this will help.
