Over 400% POT moeee

flemington, >1599, 2 sts from a spell, career sts <5, last start between 2 and 12 and run over <1201, 2nd last start between 2 and 12 and run over less that 1401

So you simply won't say what the Filter is Barny?
Good for you.

I'm done here.

Very helpful, Barny.

Cheers LG

Concentrate moeee ..... the filter that improved one system from breaking even to a POT of 60% simply cannot be applied to any system and expect the same result.

Find sarge1's post yet ?, or do you need to be spoon fed.

I've just given you a system with a 400% POT moeee, that's what you want isn't it ??

Here you go moeee, a couple of filters that improve certain systems include increased prizemoney and only backing in the Metrop race meetings.

and LG, i think the author was michaelg ..... ?? someone will be able to confirm that or you could do a search

Those 2 words were a 'Nash moment', if you will permit me to say.

Have just snared 16s on the biggest 'steamer' in a maiden which ended up paying well into single figures. Not needing any further bets now on what is normal a problematic day for me = Tricky Thursdays

Let's just say you lifted an enormous 'filter of ignorance' away from the Greystoke goggles.

No further questions for now, Mr Nash!

Time for the blackboard, chalk and a perfect circle ;)

Was he a brilliant mathemation or was it his paranoid schizophrenia which made him think outside of the box to come to findings that no one esle could.
That is the real question.
It was not his mathematical genius which gave me admiration, but quotations such as this which are off topic, but sheer brilliance:

Then gradually I began to intellectually reject some of the delusionally influenced lines of thinking which had been characteristic of my orientation. This began, most recognizably, with the rejection of politically-oriented thinking as essentially a hopeless waste of intellectual effort.

Interesting quote CP.

I think its a question of ongoing focus.. extraordinary output would have required consistent focus - being the sum of his mathematical genius(thinking side) and paranoia(emotional?), rather than it being about cause and effect.

I think Albert E once suggested that he wasn't necessarily heaps smarter than those around him. He was, however able to focus on cracking a problem for a much longer period of time than most = an obsession, obsessive personality with regards a single topic, cause etc

Perhaps the schizophrenia was his focus or constant brain state, the skewed mathematical brain being the best / only tool to express this in a constructive way?

I am keen to look at more detail into what his achievements were with respect to game theory, and if there are any learning lessons we can bring into this forum, albeit on a much simpler level!
