The Totopoly Kid

PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short list: BORMO/2ND & ADROIT APPROACH/WON (Row 1). Came out of the Aussie racing overnight with yet another deficit (small). My stakes for the UK races computed modest in levels so a good day never looked like being a bonanza one. Bormo's failure to win, and Soapy Danger's out-of-the-frame 4th, sealed its fate also as modest in terms of gain.

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 "(ZAAA)." This means it has improved down the complete alphabet thrice and is at (Z)/41 pts this 4th time round. Very satisfactory.]
