In the financial markets, . . .

In Response To: Clarifying my question: (lepto)

we call this "serial correlation," and it can be measured.

Can it apply to handicappers? Yes, I suppose. When people get "in the groove," then tend to pick on "automatic pilot," and seem invincible. Then, they hit a slump, when they can't get anything right. The problem is, examine any set of data points, such as coin flips, and you'll observe myriad examples of the coin's getting "hot" and then "cooling off."

See the problem?
