Whether we are talking horse races or side effects in a drug trial the run of outs is entirely dependent on the hit rate percentage. Your hit rate is not much inferior to a coin toss so if you can sustain it you will never have a serious run of outs.
Congratulations.

Speedyben,

What determines the number of results to be confident in your strike rate ? Is 100 bets enough, 1000 bets, 10000 bets ?

Personally I have found at least 6000 races are needed to check ratings before the strike rate starts to stabailise.

I am interested in other peoples findings though.
