Evaluating the House Edge and Percentage "Beaten" by Various Pick 3 Systems

[Mike_25]

Is an evaluation of the house edge and percentage beaten by different Pick 3 systems helpful to understand which systems are best? In my view, it can give a good indication of the expected long-term effectiveness of a Pick 3 lottery system. The lower the house edge and the higher the percentage beaten, the better the Pick 3 system is likely to perform over many lottery drawings. I would appreciate hearing the opinions of other experienced Pick 3 players on this issue.

It's important to remember that the house edge and percentage "beaten" are not the same thing. The house edge is the percentage of money the house keeps from each bet, while the percentage "beaten" is the percentage of bets that are won.
