Many of my past workouts have produced a Matrix or a Reference Box from which to test and generate Combinations. In all of these workouts the Matrix was the tail end of a string of many calculations and processes.
I have looked at a few Matrixes posted here and elsewhere that showed promise; but, the source of the numbers was not always clear. That uncertainty made me shy away from a Matrix as a Stand Alone Method.
Icewynd recently posted an idea for 6/49 that looked at 3-5 previous games. That sparked an Idea for a Matrix for Pick 3. Beyond looking at the Last 3 games there is nothing similar to Ice’s process; but I want to give credit for the seed of this idea to that Post
The Matrix is 5x5. The Inside 3x3 Box contains the last 3 Draws in Draw Order. The Top Left and Bottom Left Corners are the Root Sum of the 3x3 Diagonals. The Top Right and Bottom Right corners are the Right Digit – the left digit of the Root Sum of the 3x3 Diagonals. The Middle 3 of the Top Row and Left Column are the Root Sum of the corresponding columns and rows of the Inside 3x3 Box. The Middle 3 of the Bottom Row and Right Column are the left digit – the right digit of the Root sum of the corresponding rows and columns of the 3x3 Inside Box.
Before I go to much farther into this I have a few Questions. It would appear that I have turned Pick 3 Game into a Pick 5 Game; however, there are still only 10 options per Number Positions since values in the Box are between 0 and 9. There are however 10,000 combinations of 3 inside the 5x5 Box. Chasing the Next Draw by picking positions in the Matrix is a losing proposition overall; however, there are some combinations that perform better than others. Back Tests of 39 Fixed Position Combinations in the Box are almost positive if played over the last 14,240 Games of CAP3. I admit that the Back Test Was based on finding the Best performers over the Last 1000 Games Which showed High Returns. I Tweaked those combinations to get the largest number of straight hits that I could Find. Running those combinations for 14,240 Games produced a negative result. I did not run all possible combinations so I don’t know which perform best. I will do that before I finish this.
Not Satisfied with 10,000 combinations, I decided to double it to 20,000 by including a second Matrix with the Inner Box in Numerical Order. I ran a few combinations from each box and cross overs from each box with similar results.
About ready to say “Get Me Out of This Freaking Maze”. I found a separate maze to get Lost in. This one involves looking at numbers that are absent in Areas within both 5x5 Boxes. Counting for example which numbers are absent from the 3x3 inside box, The Outer ring, The Top row and Left Column of the Outside Ring, the Bottom Row and Right Column of the Outside Ring; For Both Boxes. That Produced 7 Columns of numbers That I call the Exiled Numbers. A table showing how many times each draw number appears in the exiled Group and the Ranking of that count produces the next Matrix from which to test and predict. For this option, I ran 14,240 Games with all possible combinations (1000) of Ranking of the Exiled Counts. Those Combinations are the same as the set of Draw number combinations with 0 replaced by 10. There were no positive combinations over the 14,240 games. 2 combinations returned $12,000, 3 combinations returned $11,000. The Wager still drowned but it’s body was found in the “shallow” end of the Ocean.
There is another outcome that is interesting. There were 53 Combinations of Rankins that Hit more times than their corresponding Draw Number Combinations as Straights and 55 as Boxes. 3 combinations hit 15 more times, 3 hit 11 more times and 2 hit 10 more times than their corresponding Draw Number Combinations. That’s a paltry 0.1053%.
Still Lost; but, thanks to Frank I can zip around this Maze and Clean House at the Same Time. And Thanks Ice, I think, Time will tell if there is anything in here. I’ll keep in touch as a life line. If I sound to crazy the code phrase that could pull me out is “I’m Your Huckleberry”
Gotta Go, I think I hear something.

Allen,

Love your title!

I'm glad that my post inspired you but, as I said in my post, I did not originate that idea so I can't take credit.

I have always had the best success in Pick 3 with hot numbers, i.e. the numbers with the highest frequency over the previous 30 games. However, this effect seems to be limited to the hottest digits as of the previous game, at best from the day before. I have hit straights twice (I don't play all that often), and both of those came by following long-out patterns of LMH combined with hot digits.

OK. I'm going on another Run. This time I am going to the Inner Box to look at Frequencies and Patterns/Combinations. Particularly it means counting 'Hot" Numbers and Repeats, Tracking and counting Hits from Exiled Numbers. Looking at the Outside Ring and Breaking it down into Sub Ranges to Track Hits in smaller pools. A Number will answer 3 Questions. 1. is it in the Inner Box? 2. Is it in the Outer Ring or one of it's sub groups? 3 is it Exiled from the Inside Box or the Outer Ring.
Wish Me Luck
Gotta Run

I've been in and out of the Maze the last few days so the travel was not worth reporting. I was moving thru a few of the tunnels near a Chart from the Matrix that Created the Maze. The Chart contained the Number of hits for each digit over the last 30 Games (T), The Digit Count in the Inner Box (I), The Digit Count in the Draw Order Outside Box (OD) and the Digit Count of Box Order Outside Box (OD). I found some Spots on a Combination Table that were windows to the instant.
I traveled back in time, watching these windows to see how many times they opened. I have begun testing the Many Combinations that open a window going back from 3000 to 14240 Games, looking for a way to pick the right window.
Escaping the Maze Alive REQUIRES a Straight.
I'll let you know when I get number of windows to about 20. Right now I am at about 160. Tubes are splitting like a dandelion, so I am going to take a break.
Gotta Go

Oh, The 160 windows do not open enough to be profitable if you blast a dollar at them every time. and as a group do not open every time so......

I've got this narrowed down to about 20 windows. Unfortunately I have to throw a wad of cash out of each one in order to get the straight.
Icewynd+, I sent you an email describing this process. I contains the Charts and Graphics that can't be shown here.
