I totalled my bets from the last few years and got the following results

+400 and up 1-4
+200-399 5-10
+110-199 47-47
+109--119 219-208
-120-199 21-21
-200 and up 23-6

Obviously i am up somewhat over this time period. I was wondering if these results are significant or just results of blind luck. Thanks,

DM

Often the FACT that we are winning or have won is attributable to skill but the AMOUNT of our win(s) is more due to luck.

These figures are a bit too vague for me to say how good you are; the sample size even allows for a reasonable chance that you've merely had a good run.

That said, I doubt whomever books your action will record a profit from doing so.

Continued good luck,
