The frightening thing about runs of outs that I've found is this ..... I've run systems through my database and have managed to get quite a few showing really good POT. As part of my further research I then have a 'butchers' at all the selections in chronological order by 'clicking o the mouse' where it says Next Record. I cannot emphasize enough how disbelieving I am at the number of records I can flick through between winners. I'm there thinking to myself, this is not right, something's wrong here, and then up pops a winner after an eternity !!! It's one thing to look at stats re; POT's and RUNS OF OUTS, but to be actually stuck in the middle of a run of outs of say 31 (S/R of 2o% which ain't half bad) would test your resolve. You'd have to be mighty confident in your system or be running many systems at the same time.

Me, I'd probably bail well before the max run of outs came only to see the next bet was a winner and away we go again, and I woudn't be the only one !! Stats give you half the picture, they don't seem to have such an impact on the psychology of this game as does real life betting, or even manually flicking through the records just to get a feel for what it's like to have "that run of outs".
