Facts On "How To Win Pick 4"

The other day I googled "how to win Pick 4". Among Google's first page entries was a 5-minute video presentation. Folks have been pushing me to do a video presentation, so I clicked on it to check out the presentation.

Without getting into the technical issues of the presentation, I just want to talk about the information on "how to win Pick 4" on the video.

During the 5-minute video the presenter explained the different types of Pick 4 numbers....singles (1234), doubles (1123), triples (1112), double-doubles (1122), and quads (1111).

The presenter pointed out that single Pick 4 numbers represent 50% of all possible winning numbers. He went on to point out that the remaining 50% of the Pick 4 numbers are made of the rest of the categories, namely doubles, triples, double-doubles, and quads. THIS IS TRUE.

My problem is his concluding piece of advice: If you want to win the Pick 4, then don't play doubles, triples, double-doubles, and quads. "Only play the single Pick 4 numbers because this single group of numbers represent 50% of all Pick 4 numbers."

He wants the public to buy his system based on this piece of advice. It is grounded in truth....one group of numbers represents 50% while the remaining four groups represent the other 50%.

THIS IS BASICALLY BAD ADVICE! It sounds good if you play percentages, but it leaves out some very critical information.

The first and obvious reality is that....if these percentages play out true to form then HALF of all the WINNING PICK 4 NUMBERS become losing investments/tickets for those that play only "single Pick 4 numbers".

The second piece of information is that one Box ticket investment for doubles pays 2x the single payout....for triples pays 6x the single payout....and for double-doubles pays 4x the single payout.

The third point is that the presenter ignores the fact that there are TRENDS involved with Pick 4 numbers....so, if a trend of Pick 4 "doubles" occurs, like in the NY Win 4 with a series of 3 and 4 doubles in a row (August 1 to 5, 2009), you would automatically lose these seven drawings because of the bad advice given to you not to play doubles.

As a matter of fact, 9 of the first 11 drawings in NY's Win 4 would have ALL been losses to the player that followed the video presenter's advise!

I wanted to see how the video presenter's advice plays out in reality by checking out the first 11 days of August 2009 in ALL the Pick 4 lotteries in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.

There have been a total of 585 Pick 4 drawings. There were 296 "single" Pick 4 numbers drawn representing 50.6%....slightly higher than the presenter's 50%. The other four groups of Pick 4 numbers represented 49.4% with 289 drawings.

Individual State/Province Lotteries had a wide range of results. New Jersey Pick 4 players fared the best for the presenter's advice at 82% with 18/22 winning Pick 4 numbers being "singles".

While the reverse occurred on other states. The following states had a higher number of winning Pick 4 numbers that were, doubles, triples, and double-doubles. Here are some of these lotteries and percentages of winning Pick 4 doubles, triples, and double-doubles drawn during the first 11 days of August....

Kentucky Pick 4....60%
New York Win 4
Missouri Pick 4....54.5%
Oregon Pick 4....54.5%

Many of the other Pick 4 lotteries ran around the predictable 50%.

So, do your research when purchasing a Pick 4 system on the internet. Read and listen thoroughly to what is being sold to you....Do you want to buy a Pick 4 system that suggests that you eliminate HALF of the highest paying Box Pick 4 numbers before you even begin to play?

Are you willing to lose 50% of your investments because a sPick 4 system advises you to play only 50% of all Pick 4 numbers?

Winning The Pick 4 Lottery By Spotting Trends

Four events brought me to today's post about "Trends". The dictionary defines "trend" as a "general direction or tendency". Strategy #16 in "Play & Win Daily Pick 4 With Big Cash Winning Numbers" discusses the importance that "trends" play in identifying, locating, and playing the winning Pick 4 number.

The first event that triggered this post comes from the great Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Kentucky Pick 4 Lottery began the month of May 2009 with a Straight Pick 4 Win. This winning Pick 4 number played of the winning Pick 4 number five drawings earlier. Keeping track of the number of drawings between winning numbers is one of the many trends that are discussed in my book.

The second event is the greatest horse race in America which occurs on the first Saturday in May each year from Churchill Downs Race Course in Louisville, Kentucky -- The Kentucky Derby. Speaking of trends....for the second time in two years Jockey Calvin Borel won the Kentucky Derby.

In 2007, aboard the horse "Street Sense" Calvin Borel went from next-to-last position at the start of the race to win the Kentucky Derby. This year he won the Kentucky Derby again aboard "Mind That Bird". Again, he was next to last place at the beginning of the race on this 50-1 longshot. Just like he did 2 years ago he rode this winning horse along the inside rail to take the lead and win this famous race -- the Kentucky Derby for the second time in two years. This is Jockey Calvin Borel's "Trend".

The third event was the last drawing of the Kentucky Pick 4 lottery in the month of May. Just like Calvin Borel, the Kentucky Pick 4 lottery closed out the last drawing of the month with a repeat performance with a PICK 4 Straight Win in the same manner that it opened the month. The winning Pick 4 number also played off the winning Pick 4 number five drawings earlier. The same "trend" of five drawings.

The fourth event occurred in the Illinois Pick 4 lottery on June 1st and 2nd midday drawings. This, too, involved a "trend". On June 1, 2009, the midday winning Pick 4 number was 5746. On June 2, 2009, the winning midday Pick 4 number was 5768.

Here's a little talk about a trend that rarely gets mentioned. A "Series" Number often times is followed by another "Series" Number. This is a number that has four sequential digits....1,2,3,4....4,5,6,7,....5,6,7,8. The sequence can continue the cycle of numbers with 7,8,9,0 or 9,0,1,2.

These series numbers don't have to be connected as closely as these two winning Illinois Pick 4 numbers.

"Strategy 16" discusses all the other important "trends" that help you cash in winning daily Pick 4 numbers straight. And like Jockey Calvin Borel you feel the excitement of coming from next-to-last place to FIRST PLACE and be a WINNER, too.
