gun punter,
Strike rates must be coupled with average winning dividends before they can be analysed.
I would love to back one winner in every 11 if I got 20/1. Similarly I'd hate to get 8 out of 10 and average 1/20 odds.
It is entirely feasible that a punter who averages a 25% strike rate will encounter many 1/11 trots during his career. In fact, 1/31 is not out of the question.
The key is to have a bank which will ride out the storm.
As for your 18/21, well anyone who has read your posts will have a fair idea of the honesty of that statement.
Please leave this forum to sensible, realistic posters.
