Here are 7 strategies to help you get the most out of pick3programs.com during the FREE trial until October 5.

1. Test out different programs. Some programs you will like; others you will not like.

2. Find the one program you like the best. This is a program that matches your playing style and how you think. Here is one; use the Code-3 program. Track it. Study the winning and losing patterns (History File). Play accordingly. Another one; Find the History File of one of the fixed lists: Basic-55, Power Numbers, List 80, or the C100 numbers.

3. Even better: Find a playing strategy that combines two or more programs or strategies. For example, you can combine the DTD program with key digits. Or maybe you only want to play List 80 numbers when they show up on the DTD or Matrix programs (use the Group Matching System program to get the matching numbers). Or maybe you want to use the code and key digits to come up with your own unique playlist using one of the Digit Playlist programs. There are many possibilities here; you just have to be creative. Here is one idea; Use the Code-Key Match program to get the best digits. Find the 2 digits you like the most (the two lowest digits are always a good bet). Then go to the Digit Playlist 55 or Digit Playlist 80 to get the playlist for those digits. For the shortest possible playlist, use the Digit Playlist 40 program.

4. Always lean towards systems that give you the LEAST amount of numbers to play. I am finding out that this is extremely important to becoming a consistent winner in the long term.  A good system that gives you few numbers guarantees a profit even if it goes cold for a while. So the secret is finding the right balance; you want a system that gives you enough numbers to give you steady hits; but the list should be low enough so that  you make a (small) profit even when the system goes cold on you for a while. Ideally, you want to be using this system in more than one state at any one point in time. This goes hand in hand with the 7th key: use this system in 3 to 5 states.

5. So decide on a specific system. Back test this system in your state for the last 3 months. Go back and see how well it did assuming you used the strategy. This will give you a good feel of how the system works.

6. Now, this is the most important step; learn all you can about his system during your back testing. Take notes. Look for patterns. Write down everything you learn including “interesting” observations or discoveries you make while back testing this unique system. Track the win-loss patterns. One critical piece of information you want to learn is the average time that the system goes cold. This will let you know when a hit is due after the system has not hit for a while.

7. Use this system in 3 to 5 states. This will pretty much guarantee that the system you are using will be hot in at least 1 state all the time.
