HI,
I want to know if any one has read the document from LottoMan
Tutorial ?.If So can u post your opinion.Please.
Here i'll post an part of it:
............................A PICK 3 PLAYING STRATEGY
Let me start by saying that this is not the only system for playing pick three games. Nor is it necessarily the best pick three system. There are as many systems for pick three play as there are players. However, this system is tried and true and will serve as a good starting point for any serious player. With little thought, you should be able to apply it to your pick three play and find yourself winning more often. Further, you can always look for ways to improve on the system.
There are five logical steps that apply to every game, regardless of the type of game or the strategy you use (unless you are playing random numbers or birthdays and the ilk). First, data collection, the step in which we obtain the history of the game. Second, analysis, during which we study and learn about the game. Third, number selection, is where we pick the individual numbers we are going to play. Forth, wheeling, when we combine the numbers we've selected into the combinations we are going to play. Fifth, filtering, a process of looking through the results of our wheel and disposing of any combinations which represent unlikely winners.
Step 1: Data Collection
This is, by far, the easiest step in the series and without question the most important. A Statistical purest will tell you that you can not obtain any meaningful information from analysis of any lottery and, therefor, there is no point to data collection. However, the same purist will also tell you that any time you perform an analysis, the results are only as good as the data you analyze. It is not the intent of this discussion to argue the point of whether or not you can gain an advantage through analysis. Suffice it to say that this is written from the point of view that there is an advantage to be had.

Step 3: Number Selection
The next step in the play process involves a series of choices to be made in what numbers to play and where. In addition, this is also the point at which we decide whether or not to play at all. This latter point is important. Lottery players tend to fall into one of three camps: those that never miss a drawing, those who only play when the prizes are large and those who play sporadically. Given that we are talking about the pick three games, the second group does not apply to this discussion. However, the first and third groups do.
Playing every draw is not, necessarily, a wise choice. The idea of lottery play is to win money -- specifically, more than you are spending on the lottery. The odds in most game are very much against that. If you play every draw without consideration, you are going to lose in the long run. Rather, you should choose to play when the conditions are right -- when there appears to be a clear advantage in the numbers you are going to play.
Likewise, playing sporadically is not wise, either, unless there is a method to your selection of when to play and when not to play. Playing a few draws, then skipping, etc., is identical to playing every draw in terms of how it can effect your winnings. The result of this type of play is, essentially, a case of playing at random.
In order to develop the best possible return on your play, you need to be aware not only of what numbers you are playing, but also when you play them. As important as a system is to picking the plays you make, you must have a system of determining when to play. If you can identify the conditions that indicate your odds are no better than randomly choosing plays, you will know that the odds are against your winning. Skip the draw -- don't play!
Rather, you should look for indicators in your analysis that are clues to the fact that there are probabilities clearly to your advantage. When you spot them, jump on those facts to make an educated stab at the game. In this way, you are limiting your play to draws where there is a higher probability of your being correct and you can realize a return above the standard odds.
That being the case, we can go over the results of the analysis and scan for clues as to which numbers to play, which patterns are good and bad, etc. Don't force the decision process. If the numbers and patterns jump out at you, use them. If you find yourself struggling to find usable information, that's your clue that this is a draw to be missed.
Along the same lines, if you find information that is contradictory, you either need to allow for both possible outcomes or skip the drawing entirely. That depends largely on your playing budget and the return you need to keep ahead of the game. For example, if one analysis is telling you not to play doubles, but the numbers you see coming in each position are indicating a lot of doubles, you either need to play both unique numbers and doubles or not at all. If you play both, only one can be right and the other plays are wasted money and, therefor, will reduce your winnings. If you can't play both options and still make a profit, or the profit is almost nil, don't play.
