Riding hot streaks? Fading cold streaks? Nobody knows the play that signals that a hot or cold streak will now begin or that it has ended. Or that the next play is somewhere between the beginning and the end. If you knew that, you would only have to be concerned about getting your play in and collecting your winnings.

A practical approach: A straight shooter with a decent track record over several hundred plays. A track record includes the stats on their different rated plays. If a service does better the higher rated the play, that is a positive as to their legitimacy.
