Re: Longest losing streak?
My longest losing streak is 12 SNGs. By the way, assume you expect to place in 40% of SNGs. Here is the probability that beginning with your next SNG, that you will have a losing streak of the following lengths:
10: .006 (i.e. expect a streak this long once in 160 tourneys)
12: .002 (i.e expect it once in 500 tourneys)
15: .0005 (expect it once in 2000 tourneys)
20: .000037 (expect it once in 27000 tourneys)
most likely, if you experience a streak of less than 10, it could easily be random chance. If it is more than 12, suspect that you are on tilt.
