Pick 3

[RockHardTen1985]

I'm having a hard time lately hitting my pick 3's. I did well at Gulfstream and maybe I got to cocky or over confident, but I'm slumping bad, and I'm starting to doubt my strategy. Lately I find myself playing a lot of 2-2-1 for $5, or 1-1-2 for 10$.... I'm wondering if I should just be trying to cash tickets at this point and get going a bit before Saratoga?

I would like everyone to discuss there own personal strategy, if they have one. Do you guys have rules you follow? I have always wondered if I should put some rules on paper and stick to them. Things like no more then $30 for a 1$ ticket, no more then 4 horses in a race, maybe every pick 3 you play you need a single in. Things like that. Is that a good or bad idea? Then I ask myself, why set rules? Some of my biggest hits have been 1-2-all plays, or 2-2-all and a 2-2-all would break 2 of my rules. I know a lot of people on this website love the pick 3 and I thought this could be a good discussion. Does anyone have rules they stick to, do you guys just wing it? Do you need a single to attack a sequence? Do you use the all button? Everyone's opinion is wanted, except Indian Charlie. Thanks
