I assume that you are joking.

The contract has been signed, the arrangements made, and you want to try to ramp
up the program if you can (beyond the opening book modifications that were
agreed upon i.e. cheat on the deal), just to make sure the program has a better
chance to win? This sounds like the other post where someone wanted to upgrade

Not very sporting old chap.
