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 22 2006

Results of bets on Fri Dec 22 2006
Day264Month09Week4.1(Phase06CDay52)


Bit of a blow out day
PROSPECTS (as they seemed last night)
2 for my short-list, 1 each for Place Only I & II. My stats are especially encouraging of the win on PERUVIAN PRINCE/2ND (Place Only I) but it is opposed by Newmarket and a Nap and this is enough for me not to trust it in a main Row.
OUTCOME     BASIC PLAN -16 (within OVERALL -15)

Financial Summary E&OE:-
C/F to Dec Week 4.2 Day 265 (Phase C: Day 53)
BASIC PLAN (Phase 06C only wef 01/11/06) deficit = -92 @ an average this Phase of -c2/day .... within OVERALL Phase 06C deficit of *-514 points gross @ an average of -c10/day deary me (or should I say 'dreary?' So far). Gain-days in Phase 06C: Dec: 11 B/pln (7 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])

peruvian prince to place

Well done Nigel, your triple stake recommendation for peruvian prince to place but not nesecarily to win made me go for the second favourite at 9/2 - to win. My bet won and so did yours!
Happy Christmas!

Thanks but the Triple stake recommendation was for what I call my Total Combo (win bets) multiple, not for a single bet To Place. It was an inconsistency I tolerated for my Naps II row because 3 of the Naps Table tipsters had tipped it to win.
But your bet was a good one, I see, in the sense that, with a Triple nap existing, a value bet on the main rival was likely a good bet. I had not thought of this interpretation of my research findings, but I note it for the future.
Best wishes
Nigel

Thanks Nigel
I apologise for the spelling of necessarily.
You're a star who will go far.

Thanks, going far in my retirement would be quite something, eh?!
from Nigel
