Chart study in the pick 3 game is a must very any serious number player. We get a clearer picture on what's going on, many patterns become revealed. Though, for most of us, tracking the numbers can become boring and fustrating. So I believe in simplifying the game and use various methods in which to come up with wins. Most players don't have the time to spend on coming up with selections. So here are a few quick things I do when selecting my numbers.
Look at the digit activity for the past 10 draws, see what's hot and cold. I always try and pair hot and cold numbers together. Say your cold digits are 0,3 and 5 make pairs 03,05, and 35. Match these pairs with digits that came out at least 3 times or came out in double for the week.
Also look for repeating pairs after one-to-four day skips. Skip patterns tend to fall into either one to day patterns, or three to four day patterns. They also often grouped with a digit repeating from the draw before.
Using the longest out pair is another great way to catch the number. This will requrie you to take a look at the past draws in your state. Once you find the longest out pair play it in numbers untill it comes in.
Here's one last thing I picked up on, which is real easy to use. Pay special attention to the first of the months number. Usually it's front or back pair will repeat again during the month. In my state of NY it holds up. On 5-1 124 hit, just a day later 125 hit. On 5-8 281 on 5-14 524 . Last month was even better on 4-1 227 hit. Double 2's went crazy hitting 4 more times during April and the pair 27 hit once.
These are just a few of the methods I use, and have been succesfull at. I don't play every day, I just play when the game looks predictable to me. Certain situations warrant different ideas, so I'm constantly trying new things. But in the end sometimes it just comes down down to my gut feeling. Good luck with your plays. and take care.
