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.

Diary for Nov 08 2006

Results of bets on Wed Nov 08 2006
Day220Month08Week2.1 (Phase 06C Day08)


Cautious day, cautious gain
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
Three qualifiers today, two strong/one medium strong but have gone with them all only in Row 3. My stats are very encouraging for the win only on PRIME DEFENDER/WON. Modest risk.
OUTCOME: BASIC PLAN +19 (within OVERALL +8)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
Note: I now express these summaries as "Basic Plan within Overall."
C/F to Nov Week 2.2 Day 221 (Phase C: Day 9)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C wef 01/11/06) = -43 @ an average of -c5/day .... within OVERALL (Phase 06C only) = -114* points @ an average (this Phase) of  -c14/day. Gain-days in Phase 06B: Nov: 4 Basic Plan (4 Overall) [*see above for this month's overall gain/loss position]
Note: Break-even days count as Win ones - a new ruling I've introduced - on the basis that 'if I haven't lost, I must have won,' which, about betting on horses, I think is fair enough!
PLUS B/f BASIC PLAN (Phase 06B: 01/08/06-31/10/06) = +204 points .... within OVERALL (Phase 06B only) = +41 points (Gain-days in Phase 06B: Aug: 14 Basic Plan (Overall 15) [-105]; Sep: 15 (13) [-201];  Oct: 17 (18) [+347])
PLUS B/f BASIC PLAN (Phase 06A: 01/04/06 to 31/7/06) = -366 points ..... within  OVERALL Phase 06A only = -2656 points (Gain-days in Phase 06A: In Apr: Overall 11 from 29 bet-days [-957]; May: 15 from 31 [-174]; Jun: 15 from 30 [+408]; Jul: 15 from 31 [-1938])

Rows 1 & 2 - No qualifier
Bets (Row 2): Supplementary Short-List Combo (Partly Sequential: 1st race Single, standard Double on the remaining 2), Ad hoc Supplementary Mop Ups on Row 3 qualifiers, Mistakes: I doubled up on part of the S/L Combo bet (worked in my favour), Discrepancy [Negligible]     OVERALL +22

Row 3
150 Wolv. YUNGABURRA/WON F/c 4/5 Min value odds, according to my 'odds configuration' stat, + 20% = 2.40 New odds stat stakes reducer (General) x 0.51 Old stat stakes enhancer x 1.48
240 Bang. TRITONIX/WON F/c 8/13 Min value odds + 20% = 2.05 New odds stat stakes enhancer (General) x 1.51 Old stat stakes reducer x 0.71 Capped stake for the multiples
250 Wolv. PRIME DEFENDER/WON F/c 2/5 Min value odds + 20% = 1.60 New odds stat stakes enhancer (General) x 1.51 Old stat stakes enhancer x 1.12

Hi Totopoly kid,

I read your blog from time to time, and good luck with your staking.

Hopefully your highly analytical approach will pay off.
I agree that it makes for an interesting passtime. Sometimes rather too interesting!, but that is the nature of the game.

all the best,
