Very small sample size. And beating the closer by 10 cents is not so big.
If you can beat it by 20 cents, you may get better results but I suggest to make a evaluation after 200-300 plays.

And remember, if you even beat the pinny closer, still you will have losing weeks and losing months. But profit over long haul is guarateed %100.

When measuring how much I beat the closer should I be using all bets I made or just the ones where I did beat it? Example I make 4 bets, and beat the closer by 15 cents on 3 of them and lose by 15 cents on the fourth, did I beat the closer by 15 cents or should I take the average of the results of all bets to include the ones where I didn't beat it ((15+15+15-15)/4)=7.5?
