------------------------------------------
A rather lame day yesterday for gambling, not much time for anything. I went 2/2 for $28,73 profit. Mr.Kelly was 1/2 for a loss of -$31,66 and Larry hit 2/3 but lost -$9,48. Still, his stats for laying horses  are very good:

Total Bets    Wins    Losses    Points Lost    Total Points Profit    Edge%    Total Stake    Total Profit    Stake Edge%
273    237    36    195,00    42,00    15,38%    $769,87    $72,91    9,47%

You can see that Larry has won 237 out of 273 bets. That's fine, but it is not important. The real secret is how little he has paid out on the 36 losers he has had. He has only paid out 195 points to cover those 36 losers, which leaves 42 points in profit for him. That is why I always say that it is only the price which matters, nothing else.

Now, all Larry needs is a lot of bets and a few big winning streaks to compound his profits.
