In the aforementioned publication by Chuck Dartmorr there is a reference this this phenomenenum (sorry I have trouble saying that word). One that is fabled as happened on 11th February one year (rumour has it was in 1942 but you know how these things get exaggerated). Chuck used the dart board to pick horses. This day he had a horse assigned to 14 on his dartboard. Chucked his dart and it landed on triple 14 (yep thats 42) it is said he put 42 pound on it. It came in and paid a motza.He sat down later on in the night and wrote it down in a diary ...and a chill ran down his spine... Feb 11 (42nd day of the year!!)Well as a young man I was hugely impressed with this and thought I would repeat it myself on Feb 11 one year. I chucked my dart and it landed on triple 7. Oh well that maybe means something i thought. I went to the races by taxi to Ascot and the number plate had at least two '7's in it. Ok I thought. Jumped in the car and got talking and the driver said he came to Australia or got married or something on July 7th. Got to the races and met me mates had a few bets and beers was doing pretty poorly I was down 20 odd bucks.Then the 7th race came up and it dawned on me Hey whats horse number 7. Cant recall its name but I had feeling this was it. There was a strong field I looked over the bookies they were all about 5s and 6s and then one bookie spun up 7 to 1 and to boot his freking name was Sven. I checked my wallet and had $75 and I asked a mate for $2 to make it $77 and got it on at 7 to 1. Told all my mates the story they said I was an idiot and then ran off and put bets on the same horse. Sven the bookie had spun down to 5s by then so I had the best odds and I gave them crap about it. They said if you're on it Jocks so are we!!The race goes off we were cheering and yelling and GUESS WHAT!! It came 7th.
