How to Bet 4D — at 3WEcasino
Understand the choices, place smarter entries, and play responsibly
4D (4-Digit) is one of Southeast Asia’s most popular number games. You pick a 4-digit number (0000–9999), choose how you want to bet (exact order or permutations), and select a Big or Small entry. Draws typically happen three times a week (commonly Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday) with occasional Special Draws. This guide explains the options clearly so you can place your entries with confidence and a plan.
Always bet with licensed operators only and within your local laws. Treat 4D as entertainment—set limits and stick to them.

How to Bet The core bet types
A) Straight / Exact Order
-
What it means: Your 4 digits must match the winning number in the exact order.
-
Why choose it: Highest prize potential for the stake, but the toughest to hit.
-
Example: You buy 1234 (Straight). Result is 1234 → win. Result 1243 → lose.
B) iBet / Permutation (a.k.a. “Box”)
-
What it means: You cover all different orders of your 4 digits.
-
How it works: The stake is split across each unique permutation; your payout is pro-rated accordingly.
-
Example: Number 1234 has 24 unique orders. If you iBet it, you’re covering all 24.
-
If your number has repeating digits (e.g., 1123), the number of permutations is smaller (12), so each share is bigger.
-
C) Big vs Small
-
Big Entry: Wider prize coverage (1st, 2nd, 3rd + Special/Consolation tiers). Lower top prize than Small, but more ways to win.
-
Small Entry: Covers only 1st/2nd/3rd. Higher top prize potential, fewer winning tiers.
D) Roll (Rxxx, xRxx, xxRx, xxxR) — where available
-
What it means: You “roll” one position, letting it be any digit 0–9.
-
Why it’s useful: Covers 10 numbers quickly (e.g., R234 = 0234, 1234, 2234 … 9234).
-
Note: Cost scales with coverage; check the slip or app preview before confirming.
How to Bet Step-by-step: placing a 4D entry
-
Choose your 4 digits
-
Birthdays, car plates, random picks, or quick-picks—there’s no predictive edge. Choose what you enjoy.
-
-
Pick your format
-
Straight if you want the highest top prize per unit.
-
iBet/Permutation if you want order flexibility (especially good for mixed digits like 1-2-3-4).
-
-
Select Big or Small
-
Big for more tiers (wider coverage).
-
Small for higher top-tier potential.
-
-
Decide your stake
-
Many operators allow low minimums per entry so you can split budget across selections.
-
-
Pick the draw date
-
Commonly Wed / Sat / Sun; Special Draws may appear on certain weekdays.
-
-
Confirm & keep your receipt
-
If you’re using an app/online platform (where legal), screenshot or save your ticket code.

How to Bet iBet math in one minute
-
A 4-digit number has up to 24 permutations when all digits are different (e.g., 1-2-3-4).
-
Repeated digits reduce permutations:
-
AABC pattern (e.g., 1123) → 12 permutations
-
AABB (e.g., 1122) → 6 permutations
-
AAAB (e.g., 1112) → 4 permutations
-
AAAA (e.g., 1111) → 1 permutation (same as Straight)
-
With iBet, your stake is divided across the permutation count. If you win, the payout reflects the share on the winning order. It’s more coverage, lower per-order return—a fair trade if you value flexibility.
How to Bet Example setups
-
Beginner, steady approach
-
1–2 Straight numbers you love (Small entry) + 1 iBet favourite (Big entry).
-
Split a modest budget so you’re in the draw without overspending.
-
-
Coverage-first
-
1 iBet with all different digits (24 permutations) on Big, plus a small Straight on the same number for a shot at the top tier.
-
-
Roll sampler (where allowed)
-
1 Rxxx entry to cover a theme (e.g., lucky suffix), then 1 Straight number with Small for top-tier focus.
-
How to Bet Bankroll & ticket habits
-
Set a weekly cap and treat it as entertainment spend.
-
Many small entries beat one oversized ticket. Diversify formats (Straight + iBet + maybe a Roll).
-
Stick to draw days you can follow. Consistency beats random bursts.
-
Track your tickets. A simple spreadsheet or phone note helps you stay honest with spend and results.
-
Take breaks. If you feel tilt or chasing, step back—results don’t “owe” you.
How to Bet FAQs
Is there a strategy that beats 4D?
No. It’s a number draw. Use bankroll discipline, not “systems,” to control the experience.
Big or Small—how do I choose?
-
Big = more tiers (better chance to hit something), lower top prize.
-
Small = fewer tiers, higher top-tier potential. Match it to your goals.
Straight vs iBet?
-
Straight if you’re okay with exact order risk for higher per-unit payout.
-
iBet if you want order flexibility; expect proportionally smaller returns when you hit.
Are birthdays/car plates luckier?
They’re more popular, not luckier. Popular numbers can be crowded; that matters only if your operator shares pools. Play what you enjoy and can afford.
