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 14 2006

Results of bets on Tue Nov 14 2006
Day226Month08Week2.7(Phase 06C Day14)


Awful lots of placed 'Fancies.' Very much a 'nearly' day.
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
4 in my short-list today: 2 strong consensus favs, and my stats encouragingly supportive for their chance to win. Even so, I've located both in Row 3. Not a lot risked.
OUTCOME: EW bets would have done all right, perhaps, today    BASIC PLAN +2 (within OVERALL +25)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Nov Week 3.1 Day 227 (Phase C: Day 15)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) surplus = +81 @ an average, this Phase, of +c6/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of *-28 points @ an average of -c2/day. Gain-days in Phase 06B: Nov: 9xB/Plan (7xO/all) [*see above for this month's O/all gain/loss] *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])

Tips
1) Main win tip to hand is CALCULAITE/2ND (@ 10/3 F/c 7/1 330 Fake.
Current odds around 3/1. The value may have gone already. But I am always wary of such fast-shortening odds, anyway. Often, the price drifts out again and the horse disappoints. I tend to feel the F/c odds reflect the 'form in the book' and I should be cautious.
A drop, in this case, from F/c 7/1 to 3/1 avail., a good sign? I say, for betting, it is an encouraging sign that the horse is quite likely at least to run into a place. Spot on, this time Bets: Small win (@ sp+ with Centrebet), the balance Place Only (split between Betfair & Tote Place [via bet365]), to grand total of 40 points     [OVERALL +28]
2) Major Lay tips to hand are at SoutA: DAZZLING OLIVIA/HRS LOST & DIMINUTO/NON RUN Seem fair enough selections
Bets: Minimum liability     [OVERALL +2]
3) THAT'S OUR SONG F/c 5/2 735 Dela(USA/LOST - from yesterday
No 4 DIAMOND FEVER F/c 9/5 Race 5 Dela/USA/Late result - see tomorrow
Bets: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.23)]
