Default Weird arguments at the track

I got into an argument with someone who thinks it it is easier to pick 10 straight winning horses -- than it is to pick 1,000 straight losing horses.

I explained to him that you can single out at least 5 to 10 horses every single day who have a 0.00% chance of winning. Picking 1,000 straight to not win would be an odds-on task for a good handicapper.

Picking 10 straight winning horses would be MUCH tougher and take much more patience.
