OUTCOME: +70 BASIC PLAN [within OVERALL +75]

PROSPECTS (as they seemed over-night): Short list: SEAWAY/NO RUN ABLE MASTER/WON (Place Only II). David of bet4place.com had a mixed day of results with his Aussie tips, but I faced the afternoon with a fortuitous overnight surplus of 58 pts. I had struggled to find bets from today's competitive UK races but settled on two, as above, and one possible, UNNIFER/WON (Cards), that I later rejected but finally reconsidered for a win bet (too late).

C/f to May 25 (Month5Week 4.4Phase08BDay88) - BASIC PLAN Phase 08B (begun 01/Mar/08) updated surplus +87* pts … which is part of a deficit of -126 pts implicit within 2008's OVERALL deficit so far of -526 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.-17,116 pts.

Since 01.03.08 Ave.surplus of c+1/day* Phase 08B/Basic Plan over 87 days

14 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

Summary Day 359 (wef 01/04/07 Month12Wk4.7+3Day359) which brought an end to my Apr to Mar accounting. (I now account Jan-Dec)

BASIC PLAN surplus +112 by 31/03/08 (since 01/01/06) This has to be regarded as breaking even on Basic Plan. Overall, however, the position is vastly different. (Discontinued stat wef 1st April, 2008.) 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, though the reading seems to have been stuck around this mark for longer than I would have predicted (sobering). Stuck like this it would be losing money were bets being placed, which they aren't at present]
