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 17 2006

Results of bets on Fri Nov 17 2006
Day229Month08Week3.3(Phase 06C Day17)


Modest pickings
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
4 in my short-list, 2 of which are strong 'Majority stat' consensus favs (MONSIEUR/LOST & MINELLA TIPPERARY/WON), 1 is 'very strong' (ECCOLLO/WON) and 1 'weak' (FABINE/LOST).
My other stats are only especially encouraging on the chances for the win on Eccollo (Row 1).    
OUTCOME: Considering that 2 lost of my 4 short-listed runners, I have to be happy with any profit     BASIC PLAN +16 (within OVERALL +14)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Nov Week 3.4 Day 230 (Phase C: Day 18)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) deficit = -6 @ an average, this Phase, of -c0/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of *-271 points net @ an average of -c16/day. Gain-days in Phase 06B: Nov: 10xB/Plan (8xO/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.'
PLUS B/f BASIC PLAN (Phase 06B: 01/08/06-31/10/06) = +204 points .... within OVERALL (Phase 06B only) = +41 points net (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 net (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])

Row 1
520 Wolv. ECCOLLO/Won F/c 4/7 Min value odds, according to my 'odds configuration' stat, + 20% = 1.48 New odds stat staked enhancer (Row 1) x 2.56 Old stat stakes enhancer x 1.50
Bets: Capped Basic + Mop Up, Token Star, 2-Row 'Double' (with Naps I normally but no 2nd qualifier/selection today, so an enhancement of the existing win single),  2-Row 'Treble' (with Row 2 normally but today no 2nd qualifier, therefore enhancement as per the 2-Row 'Double'), (Capped) Place Only (basically, I've emptied the credit balance of my Betfair account on this - leaves a shortfall on the indicated stake level, but, probably, I'll let that go), the 3 Combos, Xtras if any
Yesterday, I had 71 points To Place riding on Mantle who broke down. Today, my numbers said invest double this To Place on Eccollo. But to do that I was going to have to add funds to the relevant accounts. I decided to invest just the available balances,  amounting to a little more than half the indicated stake. So, between the two days, I lost @ full whack, and gained back @ half-cock - the kind of thing than happens when betting whilst in "the Delta Quadrant."     BASIC PLAN +22

Row 2 - No qualifier
Bets: Supplementary Short-List Combo (including MINELLA TIPPERARY/Won & FABINE/Lost), Mistakes, Discrepancy [+0.47]     OVERALL -7

Row 3
1235 Exet. MINELLA TIPPERARY/Won F/c 11/8 Included mainly due to Support (2xNaps, 1xNB)
200 Kels. MONSIEUR/Lost F/c 10/11 Min val odds + 20% = 2.93 New odds stat stakes reducer (General) x 0.69 Old stat stakes enhancer x 1.14 No halving of stakes for over obstacles as the relevant stakes are already low
Bets: Place Only, the 3 Combos (except that the 123 & Total Combos are combined - as there are no Naps I or II selections)     BASIC PLAN -2

Place Only I - on Rows 1 & 3 (except Minella Tipperary)
Bets: Basic, Xtra Combo (including Minella Tipp.), LateXtra if any     BASIC PLAN +1

Place Only II
Exet: SHANNON SPRINGS/LOST
Kels: RASHARROW/WON/THE DUKES SPEECH/3RD
Wolv: FABINE/LONDOLOZI/Both lost
Bets: Basic     BASIC PLAN -4

Naps I & II - No selection
My Lay bets - None

Tips
1) Main win tip to hand is LOU DU MOULIN MAS/2ND F/c 7/2
Bet: Split Win/Place Only, totalling 22 points     [OVERALL +5]
2) Major Lay tip to hand is INN FOR THE DANCER/3RD F/c 5/2 255 Exet.
Seems fair enough except perhaps just a touch more Support than I like to see for a Lay bet  - plus it is Computerman's Nap today. Possible no bet - no regret
Bet: Minimum liability    [OVERALL N/A]
3) No.3 MARIANAS F/c 7/2 608 Chuc(USA/LOST (3rd of small field)
Bets: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.07)]
4) Endorsements (Good words): ECCOLLO/Won (Wolv)
 Bet: Tiny win     [OVERALL EVEN (+0.06)]
(b) Asco: HAWRIDGE STAR/2ND; Exet: GET MY DRIFT/LOST
Bets: Place Only (Stats adjusted)     [OVERALL EVEN (-0.44)]

Fancies - No selection
