The Totopoly Kid

OUTCOME: -17 BASIC PLAN [within OVERALL -20]
PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short list: THEATRE GIRL/WON (Row 2).

As the overnight Aussie result was again poor, & my cash-flow is in a danger zone, I took the day off as regards Place bets on my UK qualifiers. (Frustratingly, & by no means for the first time, I would have had a surplus to record instead if I had gone with my indicated bets!)

I'd fully expected to have done much better than I have to date this year, of course - but the situation is very far from irredeemable. My expectation, now, is that it will be redeemed, with interest!!

C/f to Apr 11 (Month4Wk2.4Day??Phase08BDay43) - BASIC PLAN Phase 08B (begun 01/Mar/08) updated deficit -202* pts … which is part of a deficit of -407 pts implicit within 2008's OVERALL deficit so far of -615 pts ... to which I've reinstated (added back) -5554 Overall for all of 2005 (Jan-Dec), -11022 for all of 2006 & -15 likewise for all of 2007 = Current Target break-even figure Overall = c.-17,201 pts.

GLOSSARY ON THE PHILOSOPHY (updated 03.01.08)
AMD: an "alphabetical monitoring device" for non-level stakes betting. ... [To illustrate: the sequence on the, then, Supplementary bets peaked deficit-wise on 26th April, 2006 @ "ZW."  I had brought it 'down' to "ZC" by 10th September, 2006. At last, the account was squared off - anyway, as regards Gain v. Loss days - just before the very end of 2007. This year, instead of starting the sequence again at "A," I have cut in with the increasingly important Capped bets Supplementary category, for which the current (updated) AMD reads strictly "(FAA)." This means it has improved down the complete alphabet twice and is at (F)/35 pts this 3rd time round. Very satisfactory.]
