so what is a matrix? i noticed that you choose several sets of numbers, sometimes very unalike. i choose 1 set of numbers( i am playing the western pick 3 in alberta by the way, but i doubt there is much difference) so with my one set of numbers the most coverage i can reasonably get is playing them over 555. i made this up so i will explain. say my numbers are 222, if i play one ticket with the numbers 222 i call this 222 over 111.(1x1x1=1dollar ). if i increase the coverage to plus or minus 1 ( or 222 over 333) my first number(2) i also play as 1 and 3. so my first number is played as a 1 or 2 or 3. in this example the other two digits are also played as 1, 2, and3. so 3x3x3=27 dollars to cover this. ( 222 over 555 is for playing the number plus or minus 2) but 5x5x5=125 dollars. you have now covered half the possibilities(i think) for 125 dollars. this being said, a straight here in alberta gets you 500 dollars, so if you dont hit your combination within 4 draws, its not worth the effort.to make it a litte cheaper i started playing my numbers over 533 ( seemed to be the best performer at the time). my numbers come out about every 6 times, for a straight if i played them over 555. since some numbers came out within 555 but i was playing 533, and the second or third digit was over 5 (no win), i took another look and found a lot of wins were at over 311, 115 etc. costs a lot less, so i came up with another system to put my numbers over 135, 511 etc. seems like it might work so far 1 win on a over 135 at 15 dollars a ticket,(played at 2 dollars a shot) so 30 bucks =1000 win the previous was a 500 dollar win playing over 533, cost 45 dollars. of course its not so cut and dry i played my 45 $ tick 3 times before winning and played 90$ too many times (before making my second system to win 1000) that im just a little over even at this point. anyway talk to you later.
