I understand, and I believe the place bets had a strong run of luck in this short sample.

I understand what you said in the previous post but I am not concerned with people who play the game for a hobby ( and only wish there were more of them ) as I think people who are following this honestly want to better their play and results. Place betting is a major mistake if one is trying to do that.
