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 Sep 25 2006

Results of bets on Mon Sep 25 2006
Day176Month6Week4.4 (Phase 06B Day56)


PROSPECTS
My stats are encouraging for the win as regards SWISS ACT/WON; but there are negatives, too, and, significantly more so, about OPERA CROWN/WON. These qualifiers could fail. My concession to caution is to locate the latter in Row 3, and to restrict myself to just the Row 2 Basic bet on the former i.e without a Supplementary component.
That said, not a lot of money is at stake on single win bets, but I am vulnerable on the Place Only bet about Swiss Act in that it has computed quite high by recent standards. (I may yet cap it. I didn't.) If this runner fails at least to Place, uncapped, my loss will hurt. (I am assuming, as I write, that Betfair will pay out on 2 Places.)
OUTCOME:     OVERALL +43 points (including BASIC PLAN +43 points)

Row 1 - No qualifier

Row 2
345 Hami. SWISS ACT/Won F/c 8/13 Min value odds according to my 'Odds Configuration' stat + 20% = 1.4 New odds stat stakes enhancer (Row 2) x 6.00 (well, "7W1L." I call that '6.00') Old stat stakes reducer x 0.87 It is opposed by a Nap, which is worrying.
Bets: Basic, 2-Row Treble (today just an enhancement of the Basic bet as there is no other qualifier), Place Only, Sequential 123 Combo, Total Combo (+ Xtras), Sequential Xtra Combo, Sequential Short-list Combo Only did partial sequences in the end as I felt enough had been risked on Swiss Act
BASIC PLAN +26 plus OVERALL EVEN [+0.22]

Row 3
320 Bath. OPERA CROWN/Won F/c 4/6 Min val odds + 20% = 2.77 New odds stat stakes reducer (General) x 0.96 Old stat stakes enhancer x 1.37
320 Bath. DITTO/Won due to Support (2xNPs, 1xNB) Double stake
Bets: Place Only, the 3 Combos (+ Xtras)      BASIC PLAN +1

Naps I
OPERA CROWN/Won & SWISS ACT/Won - see above
Bets: Basic, Sequential Double, Sequential 2-Row Double (normally with Row 1 but today an enhancement of the existing Double), Total Combo (+ Xtras)     BASIC PLAN +9

Naps II
250 Bath. DESERT STORMLOST F/c 9/4
NOTEWORTHY: A non-qualifier that I had decided to back under "Fancies." So it was a marginal inclusion, here. Really, I should have excluded it.
Bets: Total Combo (+ Xtras)   BASIC PLAN -1

Place Only I - on Rows 2 & 3 and
Brig: SHEBANG/WON
Bets: Basic, Sequential Xtra Combo     BASIC PLAN +8

Place Only II - on all, or from,

Tips
LEIOA 706 Dels(USA/LOST
Bets: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.25)]
The Lay tip to hand is PENTATONIC/HRS WON 420 Bath. F/c 9/4. This happens to be Newmarket's Nap. I don't oppose those, so no lay bet for me today. Correct decision, this time
No Major Win tip to hand
No good words to hand

Man,

You are a real pro.

Have a look-see at my blog.

I too came to racing late in life. I masquerade under the name Psycho. I lay horses for a living.

I'm nowhere near as good as you - but I earns a crust or two.
