Mathematical predictions of losing streaks.
 

Hi guys.

Someone, I think perhaps darkydog, pointed out that losing streaks look something like a sine wave. Has anyone done any research on what kind of losing streaks, lengths, frequencies etc can be computed for any system?

Hi Alex .
Type in" losing sequences" in the search box as there,s quite a bit on how to compute them.
Cheers.

A general rule ,is to multiply your theoretical worst run of outs by 3.5,if betting level stakes, to work out your bank size.
Remember ,
No Bank = No Chance

Get the bank size wrong & it will be purely luck only, that might save you.

Here are the theoretical worst run of outs you should expect to strike at some stage of your punting career ,depending on your strike rate average.
S/R-Outs in a row
10%-65
15%-42
20%-31
25%-24
30%-20
35%-16
40%-14
45%-12
50%-10
55%-9
60%-8
