Bit of *fun* for wednesday.
Got a little flea buzzing in my ear and thought I'd throw it out there in the hope that someone may have had a similar itch.
I've been looking at the *tally* of the winning runners on a session basis on the greys and have *noticed* that altho there is no pattern that could be used to identify winners/losers on this isolated set of results, there are some interesting permutations that tend to be present on any given single day that you wish to peruse.
One in particular (the flea) is that when scanning the trap numbers that won (in a purely sequential order, irrespective of grade/venue etc) I've noticed that it's very unusual (tho not unheard of and certainly haven't seen many 3's in a row) to see adjacent races where the same trap number has won. I'm kinda seeing this a bit like the roll of a dice where there is of course an equal chance that any number will come up but in reality, the distribution is fairly evenly placed so as to rule out 3 succesive 6's for example.
So to the question. Given the neatly analagous nature of dice->traps, is there a mathematical way to approach a strategy that reviews the previous trap number win/lose (on a single day) to lay based on the permutations presented so far??
As mentioned earlier - just a bit of fun and I of course realise that we have to factor in the available odds etc also but just wondered if we can use a probability related approach on something like this.
