The Totopoly Kid I have come to punting very late in life - in retirement, in fact. But I was not new to racing when I did, for as a boy my favourite board-game was Totopoly and, in Australia at the time, I was taken a few times to magical Randwick, the Sydney racetrack.

Diary for Jan 08 2007

Results of bets on Mon Jan 08 2007
Day279Month10Week2.1Phase06CDay67


OUTCOME The Fancies & Tips Rows undermined Overall, alas, not for the 1st time     BASIC PLAN +5 (within OVERALL -13)

PROSPECTS (as they seemed yesterday): Definite "Laura Luck" day, I would say
Just one (marginal) qualifier GREENBRIDGE (Row 3). It's another "bumper." My Majority stat is not great and 3 runners oppose it in the Selection Box.  But very little risked today and recent results have been good. So, I take the chance. If it only places, and other results are at worst mixed, likely I'll break even or thereabouts.

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Jan Week 2.2 Day 280 (Phase 06C: Day 68)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) surplus = +74 @ an average this Phase of +c1/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of -379 points gross @ an average of -c6/day deary me (or should I say 'dreary?' So far. But maybe the tide is turning?). Gain-days in Phase 06C: Jan '07: *8 B/pl (*6 O/a) Dec '06: 16 (11) [-300 O/a] Nov: 19 (15) [-218] *Break-Even days count as Win ones - a ruling I introduced a month or so ago on the basis that "if I haven't lost, I must have won."
PLUS B/f BASIC PLAN (Phase 06B: 01/08/06-31/10/06) = +204 points .... within OVERALL (Phase 06B only) = +41 points gross (Gain-days in Phase 06B: Aug:- 14 Basic Plan (Overall 15) [-105 O/a]; Sep: 15 (13) [-201];  Oct: 17 (18) [+347])
PLUS B/f BASIC PLAN (Phase 06A: 01/04/06 to 31/7/06) = -366 points ..... within  OVERALL Phase 06A only = -2656 points gross (Gain-days in Phase 06A: In Apr: Overall 11 from 29 bet-days [-957]; May: 15 from 31 [-174]; Jun: 15 from 30 [+408]; Jul: 15 from 31 [-1938])
