If I take the last 301 bets on wet tracks the figures are

301 trials

Av odds $3.60

Edge 0.44

Profit 26 .6 profit

Max Drawdown 25.4

LLR 16

Chance of Winning 27.9 (my current Win %)

Staking I use is

Bet to take $200 divided X Gross price of odds

$200 divided $3.70 = Bet of $54.

I would be most interested on your calculations and how they differ.

Thanks for that.I appreciate it.

Cheers

Hi darky

301 bets, 27.9% Strike rate, average div of $3.60, edge 0.44%, risk threshold of 50% and assuming a $10,000 bank the figures are:

Expected profit: $106
68% of the time the results will be between -8.9% POT (-$2,135) and 9.7% POT $2,347
95% of the time the results will be between -18.2% POT (-4,376) and 19.1% POT $4,588.

Anywhere between the above ranges is normal. There is still a 5% chance that your results will fall outside the above ranges. Bottom line is that you are risking a lot of money for virtually no profit and IMO given the small sample anyone betting and relying on an edge of only 0.44% will more than likely go broke.
