Now that you are
familiar with the basic odds available to you, I will now try to give
you an insight into the dynamics of the PICK 3 results. While doing
this, you will learn almost effortlessly, the so-called FIVE GOLDEN
RULES for the PICK 3 player.
As mentioned
earlier, this manual uses only statistical background information and
research, the proof of this information will also be provided.
To win the big
prize you usually have to pick the right number out a thousand choices.
If you use the following rules correctly you can eliminate a lot of
numbers and number combinations from your choices. That will allow you
to play far more effectively and efficiently.
When you observe
the results of PICK 3 drawings (such as those I provide you with as an
appendix) you will find out that some number combinations occur more or
less often than others.
This first rule
- even though it might sound surprising - is to eliminate all of the
numbers that contain a digit more than once.
In the 1000
choices to pick between 000 and 999 there are only 270 choices that
contain multiple digits, such as 445, 737, 966, or 000.
Specifically,
there are exactly 270 numbers with 2 equal digits and only 10 numbers
with 3 equal digits (000, 111, 222, 333, 444, 555, 666, 777, 888, 999).
So in 72 percent
of the cases numbers will have no multiple occurrence of the same digit.
If you play the
BOX or SUPERBOX option you minimize your chances of winning when you
choose a number that contains two of the same digits.
Example: In a drawing
like
5 4 4
you would only win
with the BOX ticket 445, 454, 544.
Whereas in the
following drawing result
5
4 8
you would win the BOX
(or SUPERBOX) option with six combinations, 458, 485, 548,584, 845 and
854.
By following just
this one simple rule, in seventy-two percent of all drawings, your odds
will improve as demonstrated below:
By using the
STRAIGHT play type your chances are 1:720 instead of the normal 1:1000.
Using the BOX (or
SUPERBOX) option your chances are even better; 1:120 instead of 1:166.6.
This means an
improvement of 28% in about 3 out of 4 drawings.
The following
table shows you the combinations that are available after eliminating
all numbers with multiple digits.
