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 Oct 30 2006

Results of bets on Mon Oct 30 2006
Day211Month7Week4.7+2 (Phase 06B Day91)


HEADLINE:     Yet another losing subscription win tip returns a profit!
OUTCOME:     OVERALL +39 points (including BASIC PLAN -5)
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
All of my preferred tipsters in the Naps Table have chosen a different selection from those below and from each other. Sign of a potentially "trappy" day in my book. I could be wrong. From where I stand, I wasn't wrong.
My main short-list includes 2 consensus favs: "strong" (URBAN TIGER/3RD) in Row 2 and "Medium strong" (MOUNT BENGER/2ND) in Row 3.
Urban Tiger is opposed (but not as Naps/NBs) by Newmarket Does it again! (@ SP 10/1) I oppose his selections at my peril and West Country, and for these reasons, might be better located in Row 3. Yes! However, my stats are quite encouraging of the win and, anyway, not a lot is at stake, so instead I've included it in Row 3 as well.
I had a longer list under Fancies initially, but, with difficulty, I cut it down. It is still too long, but what the Hell. Little at stake here, also.

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Oct Week 4.7+3 Day 212 (Phase B: Day 92)

Row 1 - No selection

Row 2
120 Warw. URBAN TIGER/3rd F/c 1/2 Min val odds, according to my 'odds configuration' stat + 20% = 2.03 New odds stat stakes enhancer (Row 2) x 1.40 Old stat stakes enhancer x 1.94 Halve stakes as the race is over obstacles
Bets: Basic, Capped FS + Mop Up, 2-Row 'Treble' (with Row 1 normally but today an enhancement of the Win Single), Place Only, Ad Hoc Mop Up + one on MOUNT BENGER, Supplementary Sequential Short-List Combo, Sequential (Combined as there is no Naps I or II selection) 123/Total Combo, Sequential Xtra Combo, Mistakes, Unexplained Discrepancy, if any [Negligible] I had the thought, soon after I had placed my bets, that this qualifier should be in Row 3 but let it go i.e., without a counter-lay. Pity.    BASIC PLAN -3 plus OVERALL -11
