    Default Losing runs!

    Top Forum Offers
    Can anyone explain the theory behind losing runs? I suppose I am no different from any body else on this forum or anyone who enjoys a punt but losing runs are so difficult to fathom! It gets to the stage where you almost know when you place a bet that its not going to win, but you have to place it to get it out of the way. You study form in the same way, you abide by the same systems, you are thorough and meticulous but yet fate has decided that for a period no matter what you do you will not win. Then all of a sudden when you least expect it a winner followed by another then a silly bet which cops at 33/1 or something stupid. Please explain losing runs and why they occur!

    I always find its best not to over analyze it i mean you will never fathom it out anyway what has happened is history much better to try picking the next winner or loser.

    THE MAIN WORD IS DOUT. When you have a long losing run you start to make small mistakes. Then get disalusioned ( not sure the correct spelling) Its not untill you stop , Take a break, and come back that you start to roll again.

    Actually maybe now i think of it. GREED when you lose you always become greedy and want to win back all your money quickly, so make mistakes and gamble poorly

    sooner or later you will have a run of bad luck the trick is your system should be prepared for this.

    eg. if on average you are good enough to get a 7 to 1 win every 5 bets and you bet 10% of your betting money on every bet you will still loose all your money when you have a losing streak. even at these odds you will sooner or later have a loosing streak could last up to 50 bets or more it will happen it just a matter of time.

    so you should bet just 2% of stash so you can afford the losing steak.

    please send me a cheque for giving you this information.
