The Totopoly Kid

PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short list: CANALTURN/WON & OSLOT/WON (Place Only II). I took a major stab at Aussie racing overnight based on TABonline selections. Unfortunately my heaviest two bets bombed and this brought me to the UK racing day in deficit by 50 pts. So, although my UK qualifiers went on to fare well (with one exception), I rejected them and went to bed.

C/f to Apr 26 (Month4Wk4.5Day??Phase08BDay59) - BASIC PLAN Phase 08B (begun 01/Mar/08) updated deficit -87* pts … which is part of a deficit of -296 pts implicit within 2008's OVERALL deficit so far of -524 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.-17,108 pts.

Since 01.03.08 Ave. deficit of c-2/day* Phase 08B/Basic Plan over 58 days

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 (unchanged) AMD reads strictly "(CAA)." This means it has improved down the complete alphabet twice and is at (C)/40 pts this 3rd time round. Very satisfactory.]
