Thanks for that link. I have been thinking about starting a thread in the hopes of getting an answer to my problem and that article probably answered it as well as anyone could.
I have been playing the same patterns for about 40 yrs and it has withstood the test of time. The problem I've had is that I very often try to separate winning plays from losing plays and many times will eliminate a horse because it just doesn't figure using pace, speed or other handicapping methods. Yet I know from long experience that the most unlikely looking of my plays are the ones that produce the most profit.
As the article states; you may know the pattern works but there is no way of telling which individual bet will win. It's chaos within an orderly process; randomness!
Thanks again......very good info.
