Hi Chrome,

I have been trying to work out a method to arrive at an 'expected run of outs' for a [any] system.

Perhaps adding all winner's payouts and dividing by the total number of runners [inc. losers] to come to an average odds for total bets ?

Exactly

Expected run of outs would require average odds [converted to %] to arrive at an expected run of outs.

Am I way off track here ?

What method would you [or anyone else for that matter] recommend ?

Cheers.

A little off track, only for the longest losing sequence expected, otherwise spot on.
Your calculation will give the expected strike rate, not the longest losing sequence and number of expected losing sequences for each loss.

See my post above to Maverick.
