Hi.
Question.

Would it be fair to say that there's a place for a strategy aimed at in running trading that may have a low strike rate but when it works you want everything on the table ?
As in you're planning for the worst and expecting a small loss each race but every now and then due to the value that's created in a winning trade by recycling profits you'll come out ahead in the long run?

what is your loss when you loose- &- how much do you win when you win ?

The Odds available will determine the upside and down side of your trade. and also the strike rate you need to break even (Base rate).
-once the base rate and the strike rate is known , you can go ahead and calculate your loosing and winning streaks. then work out your stake sizes needed to keep you ahead.( BF comission?)

NB: strike rate and a negative -EV will fool you around . meaning you can have a low strike rate and loose a little when loose BUT not win big enough when you win. almost like chasing a ghostly shadow. :twisted:
OR even worse not get matched due to slippage or BF outage !
