Winning percentage question!
« on: July 23, 2012, 06:53:04 PM »
Just got done having a discussion with one of my track buddies and we disagreed.


If you concentrate on only one track (your best one) and made a win only bet on your top play.....what percentage would you expect to pick?

would it have to be every race, or just the races if felt more confident?

Well I better find out, although I will only look and make a prediction on days I plan to go out and bet.


One race what I feel the most confident about I would think about 50% of the time.

It has always been my understanding that the best cappers have about a 33% strike rate.

Then we all know about the infamous capper named " nickels " who wins 98% of the time.

Playing one race a night-- rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1 rflmao1  Who the hell does that!

If I wanted to pick for winning % I think I would hit 60%

Of course,  I don't like betting chaulk so if it was for ROI I'd be happy to hit 20% because I'd be looking to get 8-1 or better on the play.
