This 'game' will keep you humble. And, I use the word 'game,' loosely. After a few unbelievably profitable months, I am now mired in the midst of a three-week slump.
I have:
• checked to see that my skills are still intact (see previous post)
• cut back my wagering unit to $2
• changed my wager to only straight betting
• tightened my qualifications for even the smallest wager
These seem to be the logical steps to take. Yet, when I open past performances, nowadays, it's like Greek to me. During this period, the statistics are adjusting themselves. At my selected tracks, favorites and near favorites are winning everything. Those few long-shots that score, don't make any sense to me–even after the race. I can't find a decent bet no matter how rigid I structure my approach.
Then, it hit me. When I win my behavior is relaxed, loose and confident: the exact opposite of the 'slump' regulations listed above. Conclusion? There is no way to force a turnaround. Apparently, it's not my turn.
The only thing left to do is to sit on my hands and wait it out. Bye. Stay tuned.
