Each to his own I suppose!
But if you get your winners in a clump it should ring a bell! Why is it so?
If your selection method is sound, your strikerate will not vary more then 5% up or down in any reasonable period of betting.
If it does, it means your method works far better on certain types of races or tracks then on others, which should be a great help to you by eliminating the loosing types.
Of course It means a lot of statistical work (boring work at that).
It does not strictly apply to your kind of betting but even there I am sure you could find a reason why a longshot comes in ahead ot the more fancied horses, true sometimes it's just luck but more often then not there is a reason for it.
Good luck to you.
Cheers
