Permutation Plans for UK and other pick 6 lotteries
There is no guaranteed winning formula, but some common sense and logical thinking can make better use of the available odds.
- Forget the Lottery, bet smart instead - a 5 pound accumulator can really crank up if it all comes off
- Premium bonds try your luck and keep your cash
- Save up what you would have spent, and make a speculative share punt instead
- In the lottery, unless you give credence to hot/cold, due or other assessments of the numbers, you CANNOT alter the odds
- But you can avoid stupid combinations - so many play on 1,2,3,4,5,6 that any jackpot would be abysmal
- Looking down the card, more wins have 1 in one line, 2 in another and 3 in a third - this is probably just because more of those combinations are possible
- Paired numbers are more common than you may think
- Triples have been seen
- Quad numbers have not been seen yet, but then neither has your winning line - some combinations look rare and unlikely, but no more so than any other single line
Enough, you want Plans, I'll give you Plans
- Three Threes
- Choose 3 groups of three, make a line using each pair of groups
- 9 numbers, 3 lines
- 4 numbers guarantees a minimum of two 3's
- Four Twos
- Choose 4 groups of two, make a line with each 3 groups
- 8 numbers, 4 lines
- 3 numbers guarantees at least one 3
- 4 numbers guarantees a minimum of three 3's
- Football style full perms are expensive and have poor coverage
- 6 from 7 uses 7 lines to add only one number over a single
- 6 from 8 uses 28 lines
- 6 from 9 uses 84 lines
- The "Super Scattergun" Syndicate plan
The premise - you have more chance of getting one number out of two, than two
All the other plans need complete twos or threes to come up for a good payout
- Choose 6 groups of two, make all possible lines with every one from two.
- Taking each as A or B, you want all from AAAAAA to BBBBBB - just follow the binary values from 0 to 63
- 12 numbers, 64 lines
- 3 numbers - NO GUARANTEE
- 4 numbers - NO GUARANTEE
- This plan is based on the luck of getting ONE and ONLY ONE in each pair. If two numbers do come up in any pair, one is almost wasted
