Going to have to find a few more long shots to get a sniff Sportz!

Cheers LG

It's not impossible. They don't even have to be big longshots. Just have $30 on 2 winners around the $8-$10 mark and that will probably do. On Friday night, one of your picks Thronum looked all over a winner until grabbed late. If he had held on, you'd be in the top 4 now!

Odds of hitting two $10 chances are 1%. So its in the realms of doable. With a bit of an edge and skill you are probably closer to 2%-3% chance. So as Sportz says it is not impossible and worth a good shot at.

I notice all day long those 1-2% chance getting up.

If they are independent events, why multiply the probabilities if you don't mind me asking UB?

Cheers LG

Its a standard probability calculation. The chance of two events occurring is the probability of the first event x the probability of the second event (which is only correct if you can correctly determine the probability of both events and one event is not related to the other event). For example the chance of raining today is 30% but the chance of you getting wet is 20%. That doesn't mean you have a 6% chance of getting wet if it rains today, its probably much higher.

I don't want to get into the law of large numbers vs the the law of averages (not the right thread) but its an interesting topic. The law of large numbers makes the calculation correct.
