Interesting stuff once again Hermes. There is nothing wrong with a strike rate of 10% as such but the inconsistancy would worry me. As I've said before my strike rate is just over 10% but I rarely go for more than 20 bets without a winner and usually pick up at least one per day. You would need balls of steel to be placing bets on 80-1 shots when you have had 30 outs in a row!

Relying on the really big winners to give a profit is also a concern - I think you need a REALLY BIG sample to be confident that these are going to keep coming in. One thing you may like to try is eliminating all starters over say $20 or $25 - it will cut out your two big winners but should also get rid of a lot of other long-shot bets and hopefully improve the strike rate.

Also I don't particularly like systems based on TAB numbers but that's just my preference.
