OUTCOME: +7 BASIC PLAN [within OVERALL +9]

PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short list: WILD IS THE WIND/WON (Row 1) & MISSILE DODGER/LOST (Row 2). David of bet4place.com had a winning day with his tips so I entered the UK races with a surplus of 13 pts. I had listed a fair number of runners for possible UK bets but rejected most of them. I’m getting very picky.

C/f to May 18 (Month5Week 3.4Phase08BDay81) - BASIC PLAN Phase 08B (begun 01/Mar/08) updated surplus 107* pts … which is part of a deficit of -102 pts implicit within 2008's OVERALL deficit so far of -475 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.-17,065 pts.

Since 01.03.08 Ave. surplus of c+1/day* Phase 08B/Basic Plan over 80 days

10 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 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 "(WAAA)" but expressed above as "(W)/42 pts." Very satisfactory.]
