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.

Bets for May 14 2008

OUTCOME: -28 BASIC PLAN [within OVERALL -30]

PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short list: APOCALOZZA/WON (Row 2). David of bet4place.com had a poor day with his tips so I entered the UK races with a deficit of 29 pts. I was very tired, napped and missed all the UK racing except for a few bets put on early. My reliance went on the multiples, mainly, but ARTLESS was unplaced and that took away any gain.

C/f to May 15 (Month5Week 3.1Phase08BDay78) - BASIC PLAN Phase 08B (begun 01/Mar/08) updated surplus 42* pts … which is part of a deficit of -167 pts implicit within 2008's OVERALL deficit so far of -496 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.-17,086 pts.

Since 01.03.08 Ave. surplus of c+1/day* Phase 08B/Basic Plan over 77 days

7 x Win days so far on Basic Plan in May (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 Apr, 17 in Mar, 14 in Feb14 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 "(VAAA)" but expressed above as "(V)/42 pts." Very satisfactory.]
