The concept of Strike- Rate is one of the most important aspects of our lives.
I vividly remember the times I scored in a nightclub, and prima facie have never, ever gone to bed with an ugly woman – woken up besides many, but that’s besides the point.
How is it some guys go home alone from the dance? I will tell you why, its because they don’t know their strike – rate. When I was single, I hardly ever went home alone from the dance; this wasn’t because I was handsome (lol), nor because I was rich or famous. It was because I knew my strike-rate…
When I asked your average bird,
wot yer doin later love?
I scored 33% of the time, so I knew, to get an average bird into my bed, I would have to approach and ask 3.
My strike rate for the big fat tarts, used to run at 80%, and for the bit o class, around 10%… Get my drift? ……Its about knowing your strike rate.
Strike – rate determines almost everything, no sales and marketing department (therefore, ultimately all business) cannot function without knowing something about their S/R…
However, I believe that there are 2 main aspects to strike rate when it comes to betting/laying…
1) Natural strike rate
2) Manufactured strike rate
1) The Natural strike rate is the most important one, because this is YOU.
Everyone must know or get to know there natural strike rate, whether it be 10% or 20% or higher for betting OR 6O%, 70% 80% or higher for LAYING …Getting to know this is like getting to know yourself, gaining confidence in yourself, finding your strengths and your weaknesses.
One point though, regarding laying (and betting), if you don’t know your strike rate, you need to paper test, if its for laying you should paper test a certain price range. It is obvious why. Even your natural SR is gonna differ if one minute your laying favorites and the next minute 20/1 shots…. Consistency as always is the key, its no good chopping and changing your selection process – this is where manufactured strike rate enters the debate…
Waffle number 3 will be about Manufactured strike rate…..
PLEASE NOT THIS IS ONLY WAFFLE, OBSERVATION, TYPING WITHOUT THINKING TOO MUCH……..so please, take it with a pinch of salt…..
