If you want a good read and improve your general knowledge by all means there have been some good recommendations in this thread.
If you plan on betting them and are a beginning player with a small to moderate disposable bankroll, you should work on developing an understanding of how bankroll size and estimated hit% play a role in choosing a bet size.
Honestly I would start with the daily double. Become a DD SPECIALIST. Learn everything you can about the daily double. Learn how much a ticket will cost you. Learn to guess how much that double will pay(hint just look at the probables
), learn to guess what percentage probability that double has to hit. Learn if that cost fits in a mathematically sound approach to the size of your bankroll.
Then eventually move on to pick 3s.
You can play alphabet soup with different letters and it's fun, but
ticket structure is opinion, estimated hit percentage, estimated payout, size of bankroll.
the phrase "pick 6 for beginners" is basically an oxymoron. Beginners can't really play a pick 6 in a mathematically sound fashion unless they also have a large bankroll. Of course there is nothing "wrong" with learning to play pick6s and pick4s with undercapitalized tickets with the notion of gamblin or whatever for entertainment, if you have the disposable income...
P.S. don't worry about the "english teachers" online. The concept trumps the grammer, just make an effort to be somewhat readable
