The Totopoly Kid

PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): No short list. Came out of the Aussie racing overnight with another deficit (small). Was unconfident about some UK bets and took a nap, missing a couple.

C/f to Apr 30 (Month4Wk4.7+2Day??Phase08BDay63) - BASIC PLAN Phase 08B (begun 01/Mar/08) updated surplus +15* pts … which is part of a deficit of -194 pts implicit within 2008's OVERALL deficit so far of -476 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.-17,070 pts.

Since 01.03.08 Ave. surplus of c+0.24/day* Phase 08B/Basic Plan over 62 days

16 x Win days so far on Basic Plan in Apr (including any no-bet days because discounting them would wrongly imply that they were 'Loss' days & because, note, 'Even' days count as 'Win' ones, here: "If I haven't lost, I must have won."), 17 in Mar, 14 in Feb, 14 in Jan, 20 in Dec, 22 in Nov, 20 in Oct, 22 in Sep, 17 in Aug, 16 in Jul, 17 in Jun, 15 in May, 14 in April, E&OE

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 "(AAA)." This means it has improved down the complete alphabet twice and is at (A)/40 pts this 3rd time round. Very satisfactory.]
