Alright ill post it here then. When i lost 4 stakes in a row i complained about being unlucky. For some reason single digit iqs like chris decided that with me saying that i meant that i had more than 50% chance to win the next stake. Which i dont think and have never thought. For reference, the odds of losing 4 stakes in a row are 0,5x0,5x0,5x0,5 so about 6.25% chance. In my opinion that low of a percentage makes it an unlucky event. If i were to win 4 stakes in a row i would class it as luck..


actually, it's 50% chance

because your odds dont change when it's a 50/50 same stake

yes, if youre looking at isolated events. i was referring to a series of 4 events all going the same way. to put it in perspective, if you were to do 100 series of 4 stakes, in 6 of them you would lose all 4. In the other 94 you wouldnt. How can you still say that its 50/50 that you lose all 4 stakes if you look at a series of 4 stakes.... everything is say is obviously based on statistics so it can still be different in reality..

Its such a rs thing that youre not allowed to complain if there is someone who has worse luck... just because someone has worse luck doesnt make your luck good all of a sudden. It can still be bad as well.
