In the past 94 games my DNB approach delivered a reassuring balance — roughly half wins, a third draws, and only a fifth losses. That stable pattern gave me the confidence to treat induction as my compass: the past suggested the future would rhyme. But the recent 15 matches have broken that trust with a brutal inversion — ten losses, only four wins, and a single draw. The data no longer looks like mere variance; it looks like a regime change. I am confronted with Russell’s warning that induction is never guaranteed, that the farmer can always come for the chicken. My working thought now is to explore the inverse: if every strategy tends toward a 50% hit rate around odds of 2.0, then perhaps chasing reversals is just as valid as chasing streaks. The task ahead is not clinging to the old pattern, but staying nimble enough to detect when the tide has turned — and having the discipline to flip my sails when the wind truly shifts.
