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 Feb 28 2007

Bets on Wed Feb 28 2007
OUTCOME
: BASIC PLAN: -33 pts (within OVERALL: -31)
PROSPECTS
(as they seemed yesterday): I have short-listed 5: CHRISTADALO/WON & NIKE WALKER/WON (Row 1), LOULOU NIVERNAIS/NO RUN & AMERICAN CRICKET/NO RUN (Row 2), JABBARA/LOST (Row 3).
My Majority stats are encouraging about these. My Odds stats are pretty good, too, but I have taken a chance on Jabbara which, though short-listed (on a Majority rate of 9), is included in Row 3 equally on Support.
It is not cut and dried - for there's a sprinkling of 'odd-one-out' tipster nominations in opposition - but these stats suggest the possibility does exist of a bumper day ahead. Accordingly, I've gone with my numbers on the Multiples, albeit based on Capped stakes in some cases. The commitment, in aggregate, has computed quite heavy by recent standards - a bad day would hurt. I feel optimistic, however. Disappointing - but the damage could have been worse.

Summary (Day 330) C/F to 1 Mar (Day331Month12Week1.1Phase06CDay120) E&OE:
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) deficit = -81 points net @ an average this Phase of -c1 points/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of -651 points gross @ an average of -c5 points/day. Gain-days in Phase 06C: Feb: **13 B/PL (12 O/A), Jan '07: 21 (19) [-41: but there seems to be an error somewhere of 33 points not so far corrected (I think I now know where it is)], Dec '06: 16 (11) [-300], Nov: 19 (15) [-218] **Break-Even days count as Win ones 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])
