Wheeling System Playing Tips
To improve your payouts from 3if3, 4if4, 5if5 and 6if6, play multiple 4-ticket sets while swapping your choices for 1,2,3 numbers with those from 4,5,6,7 on your second set.
You can also try swapping out your 1,2,3 or 4,5,6,7 numbers with new options on a 2nd ticket set. This will add an additional 3if3 coverage for 10-11 numbers total, as long as 1 of your 6-7 key numbers appear in the draw.
