Doubles make up 40 % of the Pick 4  numbers drawn for any given state at any given time;  they come in those forms:

• Double:  AAbc as in 1123
• Double-Double:  AABB as in 1122
• Quad:  AAAA as in 1111 or two doubles of the same digit
• Even the Tripple: AAAb as in 1112 is to some degree a False Quad

Followers are in general Pick 4  numbers that tends to hit right after certain Pick 4 numbers (i.e FOLLOW); and though there are a lot of claims on predicting those numbers; you might end up with a wild goose chase if you want to play them all, the solution?

Knowing where to start is half the way of getting there; so here is a general guide on what doubles might follow certain doubles that will give you a hand:

 

Double	Follower		Double	Follower
00	44		55	99
11	33		66	88
22	66		77	77
33	11		88	66
44	00		99	55

Lottery is a random game; but sometimes I wounder: IS IT?

I get a lot of e-mails and PM…etc asking me the very same question,

The Answer?

It is built-in the question itself!

If you have a certain method (or methods..System…)  you use to play any game in the Lottery; you are on the first step towards winning. You’ve graduated from relying on the lottery machine to give you Random Pick and no longer wait for Lady Luck to pay you a visit. However; there are a few points to keep in mind while using any method:

Use more than one method

Not at the same time though; that would only increase your bet amount, keep the rest of them on reserve in case you ran into:

Dry Spells

I have not encountered any method or system that does not have them, one day you will be flying high on a winning streak and the next: WHAM…nothing!

Do not try to figure out what is wrong with your method; switch to a different one instead.

Play with their Money

We all tend to spend more when we win;  after all we are spending the lottery agency money…Right?

Wrong!

You’ve already spent more trying to win; so those winnings are a small pay-back on your past loses. You should use your winnings to play of course BUT not to increase the amount you usually play.

Sticking to your gun

“I am going to use this one until it hits something“

 Stubborn does not pay in the Lottery; if that one is not hitting for a long time…chances are: It will not!

Do not take it Personal

Just because you do not like a certain method, or how the numbers come out using it DOES NOT mean it is a bad method; we tend to take methods on apersonal level, we like and dislike them but the lottery keeps on going and it does not care about your personal preferences.  It is not about liking…it is all about Winning.

 Simple IS better

When I started writing Lottery Sheets; I used to think hard and try to use the most complicated methods to come up with winners, needless to say: That is not the way to go!

You do not need a method with a huge Database and Updates…etc, or a program that costs an arm and a leg to win, you only need to find yourself  the simple method (s) that gives out decent amount of hits, nothing fancy with a lot of bells and whistles. If it take big chunk of your time to use…it is not worth it.

More to Come…

Lottery is a habitual creature by nature, tends to repeat itself more often than not, and if you KNOW how to take advantage of those habit; you are in for a few wins!

What is the Usual Hitter Number (UHN)?

It is a Pick 4 Number that if it hits in your state (or any other state for that matter) would make you say :

Or

Or
“Uh…I should’ve played this one”……..etc

And although UH Numbers hit all over the states, most lottery players brush them aside as waste of wager money; if only they knew that : The telltale signs are there for all to see; here is an example:

The most overlooked UH Number is 8697, a simple sequential number that goes down from 9 to 6, it hit 141 times in the past three years; but what makes it interesting is the frequency it hits every month in any given year; hence the name: Usual Hitter!

Its Mirror Number is 3142,  another sequential number, and this one hit 144 times in the same period of time. Very close number of hits to rule it out as a coincedence; check All-States results and you should see that every time the quite 8697 hit; the mirror number follows!

Where?

In the same state or at the Mirror State, sometimes they play tag and the circle keeps on going and going.

Starting to see UH numbers in a different light!

Good; because coming up Next is:

My wife has her own methods of picking the numbers for Pick 4; they are Pen and Paper but they come up with winners

Here is the link for Test Drive Page at The Mazk Touch web site where you can try this sheet:

Mrs Mazk Pick 4

One of the favorite Pen and Paper methods, you make the grid and pick your numbers by going across, up and down ….etc
The most important feature of this method : allowing you to SEE the numbers you are picking and making associations with any previous numbers tha hit in your state!
I went one more step further and wrote a sheet to help you practice and (hopefully win) and here is the link:
