GD Bonus — 4D & Lottery Guide
Clear, beginner-friendly tips for picking numbers, placing tickets, and managing your budget
GD Bonus is your jumping-off point for understanding 4D and other number-draw lotteries—how tickets work, what the popular bet types mean, and how to keep play fun and sustainable. Whether you follow weekend draws or play occasionally on special dates, this page explains the essentials in plain language (no hype, no myths).
What is 4D ?
4D is a fixed-odds number game where you pick a four-digit number (0000–9999). If your number is drawn, your ticket pays according to the bet type you chose. Draws usually happen several times a week; results list 1st, 2nd, 3rd prizes, plus Special and Consolation categories.
Key idea: It’s a game of chance. There’s no guaranteed system—so focus on understanding bet options and keeping a healthy budget.
Popular 4D bet types
-
Straight / Exact
You win only if your four digits match the prize exactly.
Use when: You have a specific number and want the highest potential payout per ticket. -
iBet / Permutation (Box)
Covers all digit orders of your chosen number (e.g., 1234 covers 1234, 1243, 1324… up to 24 permutations when all digits are unique).
Use when: You prefer higher hit chances with a reduced payout per permutation. -
Big / Small
-
Big: Your number can win across 1st/2nd/3rd and Special/Consolation (more ways to hit, lower payouts).
-
Small: Pays only on 1st/2nd/3rd (fewer ways, higher payout if you land it).
Use when: You want to balance probability vs payout.
-
-
System / Roll (where available)
Fix three digits and “roll” the fourth (e.g., 123X).
Use when: You want broader coverage around a key three-digit core. -
3D / 2D side bets
Some operators offer smaller pools on the last 3 or 2 digits.
Use when: You like more frequent, smaller wins.
Tip: If you’re new, start with iBet Big for friendlier odds while you learn how results are displayed.
How payouts and odds really work
-
Fixed odds mean your return depends on bet type, not pool size.
-
iBet divides the straight payout among the permutations you cover. If your number has repeated digits (e.g., 1122), there are fewer unique orders, so the share per hit is higher than a 4-unique-digit number.
-
Big vs Small: Small tickets aim for a bigger top-tier payout; Big adds Special/Consolation safety nets.
Reality check: Lottery returns are designed with a house margin. Treat play as entertainment—your best “edge” is budget control.
A simple, sensible play plan
-
Set a monthly cap—an amount you can happily spend for fun, no pressure.
-
Pick a ticket style that fits your personality:
-
Steady learner: iBet Big on one or two numbers per draw.
-
Payout chaser: Straight Small on a favorite number (accept lower hit rate).
-
Coverage fan: System/Roll around a meaningful three-digit core.
-
-
Track your tickets in a note or sheet—date, number, bet type, cost, result.
-
Avoid chasing—don’t bump stakes after a miss. Stick to your plan.
-
Take breaks—skip a draw if you’ve reached this week’s limit.
Choosing numbers: myths vs facts
-
Hot/cold charts
Fun to follow, but draws are independent—past frequency doesn’t predict the next result. -
Birthdays and dates
Popular (and fine!), but remember they cluster in similar ranges. If you care about uniqueness, mix in non-date numbers too. -
Patterns (1234, 1111, 8888)
These can hit like any other; however, highly popular patterns may be shared by many players (some operators cap liabilities). If you prefer distinct picks, diversify. -
“Secret formulas”
No proven system beats randomness. Your real control lever is how much and how often you play.
Reading results like a pro
-
Check the official draw date and time.
-
Scan 1st/2nd/3rd first (Small tickets depend on these), then Special/Consolation for Big.
-
If you used iBet, you only need the digits to match (any order).
-
Save the result slip or screenshot for your records.
Responsible play tools you should use
-
Deposit / spend limits: Lock in a monthly cap that matches your budget.
-
Reminders: Calendar pings stop “impulse doubling” near draw cut-off times.
-
Cooling-off days: Schedule no-play days after big swings (up or down).
FAQs
Is there a best day to play 4D?
No. Draws are random. Choose days that fit your routine and budget, not superstition.
iBet or Straight—what’s better?
Depends on your preference: iBet = higher hit chance, lower payout per hit. Straight = lower hit chance, higher payout.
Can I increase my win rate without spending more?
Only by changing bet type (e.g., Straight → iBet, Small → Big). True odds don’t change with rituals or patterns.
Are 4D and lottery legal everywhere?
Always follow your local laws and play only with licensed operators in your region.
