Here's how I'm looking at numbers most of the time but not always.
Since all numbers are in play it's just different because the top hot cold is based on the last draw and the bottom is based on last evening draw (for tonight right now).
I like starting with the cold bottom numbers , I see 54 (54 is paired 3 times there on that line). Now I look at the workout is there a 54 ? yes what about 542 ? yes. what's in between double 8's and double 4's.
looking at the workout would those be touching each other if I added an 8 , 9 , 88 or 44 ? yes.
As an example I would look up 5428 5429 5489 5289 5882 4489 8844 4889
you could also look at 542 cold with 1-3-7-8-9 ( happens many times as you have seen)
Also there is 56 cold pairs with 17 hot or 24 cold with 89 hot.
look at the 0's and 1's on previous hot cold numbers with the workout , notice the numbers falling around a cluster of 0's and 1's most of the time ?
Notice the three 4's between the fourth and fifth 2 ? could be another 444 or could be a double 44 , double 4's at top also.
Now you want to check the daily pick 4 sheet I posted (as I noticed recently) 2019 past 6 months are similar pairs repeating throughout the numbers.
Now look those numbers you like on full history of that number , does it fall on 14th 15th or 16th more than a few times ? may be a good play then.
Most of us are limited on what we play money wise , generally I have to really like something before I start with a single $12.00 combo for pick 4. Mostly I'm a dollar box guy , $200 buck is $200 bucks.
This seems like a ton of stuff but it's not really once you stick to a rhythm, took me longer to type this that it would for me to pick a 5 sets of numbers.
