## Understanding Pick 4 Strategy

Pick 4 is more complex than Pick 3 because you have 4 positions to fill. This means more possible combinations but also more ways to create winning patterns.

### Key Differences from Pick 3:
- **More combinations**: Each generator can create 24+ combinations
- **More pattern options**: Pairs, repeats, and sequences work differently
- **Higher payouts**: But also harder to win
- **More strategic**: Requires better planning and tracking
