Extracts from Lee's Gummy posts: strike rates

01. "I put this to you. VDW managed to achieve an 80% strike rate at all manner of prices, which included betting in large field handicaps. This alone seems to cause people problems as they find it hard to believe. Presuming that you believe this to be true then why do you think by employing the same "main method" that VDW used, but restricting your betting to small, non-handicap fields, that your strike rate wouldn't improve? Or do you think that VDW attained an equal 80% strike rate across every type of race? I doubt this very much …..

My point is that there are certain types of race that will return a strike rate higher than 80% when everything lines up, these generally being smaller field non-handicap affairs …" (24/03/02.)
