>> do you really think that your chances are any greater of winning?

Consider: If your round win percentage is 75%.
Chance of winning 1st round: 75%
Chance of winning 1st AND 2nd round: .75x.75 = 56%
Chance of winning round 1, 2 & 3: .75x.75x.75= 42%
[...]
Chance of winning a 7-round race: 13%

Good luck to all.
