Good Morning Partypooper. A 48% strike rate just seems way too high. I don't ever recall seeing such a high strike rate, and so I would think it has to be just an anomaly given that it was based on only 25 paper bets.

You mentioned the retirement staking plan. I actually looked at that a few weeks ago, and thought I'd look over my system's selections for this year, to see how it would have performed compared to my percentage of bank staking (I actually use 2% of the bank per selection). At one point, the retirement staking plan would've come within 3 bets of wiping out the bank, which was after experiencing a horrid run of just 3 winners from 64 selections, and although there were nine 2nds and eleven 3rds in those 64 selections, I only bet the win. By comparison, the percentage of bank staking has never ever ventured even remotely close to busting the bank. That said, the retirement staking plan would have ended up with triple the bank that my percentage of bank has achieved, even despite that horrid run, which is interesting to know, but I guess I'd rather go with the safer staking plan for a little security and peace of mind.
