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 20 2006

Results of bets on Wed Dec 20 2006

Not too exciting today

PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
Just 1 for my short-list: HURRICANE SPIRIT/WON (Row 2)
OUTCOME Another of those extra disappointing days when my figures were spoiled by the failure (even to Place) of the subscription tip     BASIC PLAN +7 (within OVERALL +5)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Dec Week 3.7 Day 263 (Phase C: Day 51)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) deficit = -75 @ an average this Phase of -c2/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of *-517 points gross @ an average of -c10/day deary me (or should I say 'dreary?'). Gain-days in Phase 06C: Dec: 11 B/pln (6 o/all) 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 gross (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 gross (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])

2) Endorsements (Good words) on (Muss) BLACK CHALK no bet/LOST - FERRANDO/2ND
Bets: Place Only (just on Ferrando)     [OVERALL +2]
3) Other tip (on a RSA race) would have been a winner but RP published the tip on their website shortly after the race was run (Their USA Naps have proved unprofitable so I've discontinued following them as of today)
Bets: Small win     [OVERALL N/A]
