I would suggest everyone start to keep their legs crossed.
I could definitely use more good laughs. That was a funny post moneypot I could see where you were going with that.
On a serious note, here's my take on the Pick 3 game since we are closing out 2017. I don't think anyone will ever solve the Pick 3 game without the aide of artificial intelligence, machine learning software and mining techniques all rolled into one system. If the game is really being played out fairly, then this is the only way I can realistically see this happening. Anyone on this forum can challenge me on this, but that's the truth.
I see people on here trying one system, draw-after-draw, expecting to win week in and week out. Not gonna happen, wake the f'up!! I've shared some great ideas on here since I joined in 2012. I use to post 80+ numbers in the beginning and was happy to see many hits but that wasn't enough to make a profit. Even online it was tough to break-even. Fast forward to the present I am now down to posting 30-45 numbers per draw and hit up to 5 times a week. That's still not ideal since doubles present a constant threat. Even if my numbers did hit 5-6 times out of the weekly 14 draws in California, no one is going to make a dime playing my numbers because of the consistent lousy payouts.
For arguments sake, lets pretend the payout becomes fixed at $80 retail. We play 45 single combos every draw and hit 5 times a week. Lets do the math.
RETAIL: Revenue minus Expenses = Profit
- 5 hits x $80 fixed payout = $400 weekly revenue
- 45 combos x 14 draws = $630 weekly fixed (expense/investment)
$400 - $630 = $230 (NEGATIVE Loss, no profit)
AND
ONLINE: Revenue minus Expenses = Profit
- 5 hits x $150 fixed payout = $750 weekly revenue
- 45 combos x 14 draws = $630 weekly fixed (expense/investment)
$750 - $630 = $120 (POSITIVE Gain, profit)
As you can see, playing online my system would make a profit. But that doesn't matter until we get the greenlight and someone figures out a way to consistently hit 5 times or more a week, playing less than 45 numbers per draw.

Here are some of my recent scorecard predictions that I maintain off-forum .. 1 BOX hit out of 10 draws only

I'm going to be honest and tell you these are the results of me using software and several systems that crunch the numbers for me. I use filters such as key digits, pairs and my 21 number system. After reading and seeing what I posted, how are you feeling about the game now? Is there a chance to beat the Pick 3 game? I would say so. But its going to take a lot of work and some great minds to come together and make it happen. All I can say right now is that when the time arrives when players are able to make profits playing retail, you will see the lottery start to make drastic changes to the payouts and rules of the game or worst case scenario, completely eliminate the lottery all together. These are the things that I perceive occurring.
There are many layers to the game that offset predictions. I get frustrated seeing my picks being 1-off and immediately scream "The game is rigged!!", but is it? We will never know unless someone like Snowden blows the whistle.
So what are you going to do? Start right now and apply yourself. If you are serious about the game, get committed and take your game to the next level. Conceive the outstanding system breakthroughs and dare to share your numbers with others even if you don't reveal your system.
In closing, I wish everyone a Happy New Year's and a prosperous Money-Making 2018.
