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 Dec 01 2006

Results of bets on Fri Dec 01 2006
Day243Month09Week1.1(Phase06CDay31)


Good bad day
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
4 in my short list, 1 of which makes it into Row 1: POUVOIR/2ND - & 2 into Row 3: LACEWORK/WON & ATLANTIC STORY/WON. Of these, my stats say the likeliest to win is Pouvoir (74W37L). The weakest 'odds configuration' stat is on Atlantic Story (59W87L). Stats not born out this time.
OUTCOME: Dominated by the failure of Pouvoir. Although capped in a main bet, the cluster of other capped bets on top of that one aggregated to a significant loss. The rest of the day was mostly very successful - but off stakes that were too small to compensate for Pouvoir's failure. This sort of result does happen when the day's account primarily depends on one main runner. Can't be helped.     BASIC PLAN -58 (within OVERALL -61)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Dec Week 1.2 Day 244 (Phase C: Day 32)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) deficit = -61 @ an average this Phase of -c2/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of *-279 points net @ an average of -c9/day. Gain-days in Phase 06C: Dec: 0 B/p (0 o/a) Nov: 19 (15) [-218] *Break-even days count as Win ones - a ruling I've lately 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])
