Mathematics Boffins please help.
As a place better I found it very easy to calculate my probable outcomes for any system I devised, but for the past 3 weeks I've been having a go at the laying. I love all the extra action as I can now average 6 bets per day as opposed to 2, but............................................... .................!
After 65 successful lay bets in a row I now realise I can't work out whether I'm a flipping genious or the equivalent of a bet to win bloke who's had one bet and it happened to win.
Let me explain.......
My average odds accepted for my lay bets were around $16.50 so I've only won around 4 times my possible loss after all that action. In other words if I'd been backing to win and scored just one $4 winner then I'd be in exactly the same position.
So my question refers to the chances of this continuing. Is it the same as one lucky win bet or not.
