P(12:10-32:10): 81%
EV: 0.88-1.69
Bets:
(SW - Puff; HC - Stuff; all in HH) x Fed
Fairly standard set. Technically, Lagoon has the highest EV for any booster arena, followed by HH, but I skipped Lagoon so I could cover all the non-13s in my booster arenas (plus Young's FA is high).
2016 was the first entire year I tracked my FC data (though I'm missing most of June's NP values until TNT fixes my account access). I placed bets 363 of 366 days, and won ~7462:3630 (106% net profit). (It's approximate because I did not place all 10 bets at least once - it would be easy to figure out the exact number, but I'm too tired to bother right now.) My overall win ratio is up to at least 85% net (and it would be substantially higher if I could have bet my normal amount for the last half+ of the year). It's pretty crazy that I've been able to more than double my money for the past year. At first I chalked it up to just riding a "high" FC streak, but at this point, it's beyond a streak and seems to be more of a trend. Here's hoping 2017 continues it, though it's off to a rather inauspicious start.

I got off to a bad start to the New Year... My bets would have won 14:10 - had I remembered to actually place them. Doh!
New day, new bets:
P(20:10-64:10): 60%
EV: 1.97-2.50
Bets:
Scurvy x Goo x (Luck, Buck; all in HC; Tail)
(Luck, Buck) x Scurvy x Goo x Tail
Scurvy x Goo
Today looks pretty decent, but I'm 10-betting both Scurvy and Goo. You could replace the last bet with Scurvy x Fed for an additional 13% chance of 14:10 (EV=1.83).
Mon Jan 02, 2017 9:44 pm
Finally got a chance to tally up last month, and finished with a 632:310. Not too shabby! A little more than doubled my NPs! Can't complain, especially for how the month started!
Yesterday, I only came out 8:10. Meh. Ah well. Not the best start to the year.
I have to bet quickly today. Ran this fast, and I don't like 10-betting, but I did on Scurvy, and almost did on Goo.
Scurvy x Fed
Scurvy x Goo x (All in HC; Orvin, Tail, Puff)
(Luck, Buck) x Scurvy x Goo x Tail

60:10. Woot! Only 4 off from my max possible for today. Glad 2017 is off to a good start.
Tue Jan 03, 2017 6:49 pm
48:10 here. Definitely not complaining, especially for last minute bets!
ETA:
Today is a super special guaranteed win day. Follow EITHER of these sets of bets, and you should come out ahead.
(Young, Ed, Buck)
Goo x (Peg, Orvinn, Puff) (Currently at 13,10,13)
Goo x Fran x (All in HH)
OR

Today screams as loudly as Admiral Ackbar: "It's a trap!" Here's hoping I covered enough contingencies...
Edit: It wasn't a trap! 96:10. Could have been 104:10 had I not dropped the base bet in favor of the Orvinn safety, but I'm 100% happy with 96:10. I'm at 467% net profit for the month right now... So I'll most likely go down from here, but it's always better to start high.

Also could've done the 104:10 if I hadn't put in safeties, but, eh, I'll take the 72:10.

Definitely liking the start of this month better than last month! Now comes the inevitable set of bust days...

Rapid-fire betting. Probably not the optimal set.
P(64%): 8:10-36:10
EV: 1.03-1.38
Bets:
(Tail; all in Lagoon; all in TI; Ned) x Goo
My system has Puff as slightly positive, so you could add him to the other boosters, but he's only at 54%, and if he loses, I wanted to have more than 6:10.
Wed Jan 04, 2017 7:05 pm
Went with a bit more of a risky set. We'll see how it turns out. I'm sorta expecting a bust.
(Stuff, Puff) x Buck
Squire x Puff x Goo
Squire x Puff x Ned x Goo
(Squire; Stuff, Black; Orvinn) x Goo
Puff x Orvinn x Goo
Ed x Stuff x Goo

12:10. Wish I'd added Puff to those other arenas, but hindsight is always 20/20 (except when it's not, of course...).
Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:28 pm
Busted last night. Ah well.
Skipping some boosters to cover more things. Not 100% happy with these, as I wish I had two more bets, but...it's what it is.
(Capn, Fed) x (All in HC) x Goo
Squire x Buck x Goo
Tail
Fri Jan 06, 2017 12:32 am
P(24:10-80:10): 66%
EV: 1.78-2.51
Bets:
(Capn, Squire) x Buck x Goo
Fed x (all in HC) x Goo
(all in Lagoon) x Fed x Buck x Goo
Very standard set.
Edit: 32:10. Guess I didn't need all those safeties, but they had higher EV than the SW boosters.

Winter storm tonight; hope I have power to "collect" my hold.
(Leaving my gambit and hold info here so I have an independent record... it's not actually relevant to you guys, so just ignore it.)

Won my minimum of 16:10. Ah, well. It only feels bad because I've been doing so well lately.
