4 picks, three of them winners, and the day closed four hundredths of a unit down. That is not a typo and it is the most useful thing on this page.

Three from four and level. Neftchi returned 0.28, San Luis 0.25, Sogdiana 0.43. Curicó lost a full unit. Add it up and you are four hundredths of a unit short of where you started. Every card on this slip was an Asian plus 0.25 and the average price was around 1.40, which means each winner pays a third of a unit and each loser costs three times that.

This is the arithmetic of a short-price portfolio and it is worth internalising rather than rediscovering on a bad week. At these odds you need roughly three winners for every loser simply to stand still. We got exactly that and stood exactly still. A day that reads as a comfortable win in the strike rate column is a flat line in the bank.

San Luis is the one to look at, because it drew and still paid. A plus 0.25 is half your stake at level and half at plus a half. The game finished 1-1, so the level half came back and the half-goal start won on its own price. Quarter of a unit in the black from a drawn game. That is not a consolation and it is not half your money back — it is a genuine part-win, and it is the entire reason this line exists.

Curicó lost 2-1 at home, which takes both halves. No protection on a defeat, only on a draw.

1. Andijan 0-3 Neftchi Fargona (Uzbekistan Super League) — Away AH +0.25 Neftchi, bridged @ 1.28 — won

4. Termez Surkhon 1-3 Sogdiana (Uzbekistan Super League) — Away AH +0.25 Sogdiana, bridged @ 1.43 — won

Day close: -0.04u (3 won, 1 lost from 4).

Every position on the slip was bridged from two halves, which meant eight bets rather than four. Worth saying that it worked exactly as described on all four — no leg failed to strike and no price had moved by the time it mattered.
